Description
android-testing/unit/BasicSample adds a listener like this:
`mEmailText.addTextChangedListener(mEmailValidator);`
And then on save it checks
```
if (!mEmailValidator.isValid()) {
mEmailText.setError("Invalid email");}
```
Why not just have a simple utility class which will perform this check only when the save button is pressed?
Just asking for a clarification.
