Both A T and Faber's solutions should work fine if you add the check
for uppercase letters also:
String foo = "aAsdjshdIUjkshf";
System.out.println(foo.matches("[a-zA-Z]+") ? "Yay" : "Nay" );
Prints 'yay'.
String foo = "aAsdjs1234hdIUjkshf";
Can you give us a sample input and output that is failing? I'd like to see
the exact regex and test string(s) you are using.

That doesnt work either. what i want to do is check the entire length of the
string to ensure that only a-z are in the string and that there are no
special characters.

No it
Thanks for the suggestion but it's still not working. There's got to be a
way to do this without looping through a charachter at a time.

Sorry, that's "Match 1 character *NOT *a-z, followed by any character zero
or more times."
try "^[^a-z]+$"

It is checking the entire length of the string... your pattern is not
doing what you want.
I suggest you read up on regular expressions. Your regexp says:
Match 1 character a-z, followed by any character zero or more times.

The Java matcher tries to match the entire string, unlike other regex
engines. Try this:
if (!Pattern.matches("[a-z]+", DrawingName.getText().toString())) {
//do nothing for now
DrawingName.setText("WRONG");
}
Notice the "!" before the expression.
