Snippet: you have to requestFocus(); a view to show the error.

    // Check for a valid email address.
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(mEmail)) {
    mEmailView.setError(getString(R.string.error_field_required));
    focusView = mEmailView;
    cancel = true;
} else if (!mEmail.contains("@")) {
    mEmailView.setError(getString(R.string.error_invalid_email));
    focusView = mEmailView;
    cancel = true;
}

if (cancel) {
    // There was an error; don't attempt login and focus the first
    // form field with an error.
    focusView.requestFocus();
} else {
    // Show a progress spinner, and kick off a background task to
    // perform the user login attempt.
    // showProgress(true);
    // mAuthTask = new UserLoginTask();
    // mAuthTask.execute((Void) null);
    ParseUser.logInInBackground(mEmail, mPassword, new LogInCallback() {

    @Override
    public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException e) {
        finishAndStartCardActivity();
    }
    });
}
