how to create datatype to get email as input from user in java

Question

I want to accept email id from the user as an attribute like other attributes like name, id etc. What is the procedure to create custom data type to accept email id from the users?

I didn't understand your question properly. Do you want to know which datatype to save email ID (or) how to validate email address entered by user? — bhargavg, Aug 28 '14 at 08:47
Do yoou just want to create an instance variable to store the data, or something different? — DonyorM, Aug 28 '14 at 08:48

Store e-mail in String.
Validate it using regex.
