Try this:

For Pincode validation:

else if (postalcode.length() != 7) {
                invalid = true;
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        "Please enter your 7 digits postalcode", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } 

For password:

else if (password.length() < 6) {
                invalid = true;
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        "Please enter atleast 6 digits password", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } 

To give input type as number in xml for pincode Edit Text

as: android:inputType="number"OR android:inputType="phone"
