if EditBox is of Address type, then i need to user to enter at least 5 characters in the EditBox

if EditBox is of Name type, then i need to user to enter at least 7 characters in the EditBox

So i need to know the name of EditBox in my class, Kindly tell me a way to get name of EditBox in Java Class

  formTextCosmetics.validateInputFields(etName, ivWarningCardName);

  formTextCosmetics.validateInputFields(etAddress, ivWarningAddress);

Java Class

     public void validateInputFields(final EditText editText, final ImageView imageView){

            editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

Why not just add validations in XML file. 

<EditText      
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 "
android:maxLength="30"
android:inputType="text"
android:maxLine="1"
/>

You can also use a textwatcher to check min and max length. 

public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
     int length= s.getText.ToString().Trim().Length();
     if (length<5){
     s.setError("Any message")
}
}
