[LeetCode] Valid Palindrome

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.

For example,
"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a palindrome.
"race a car" is not a palindrome.

Note:
Have you consider that the string might be empty? This is a good question to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we define empty string as valid palindrome.

public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
        if(s==null) return false;
        s=s.toLowerCase();
        StringBuilder sb= new StringBuilder();
        for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
            char c=s.charAt(i);
            if((c<='z' && c>='a') || c<='9' && c>='0' ){
                sb.append(c);
            } 
        }
        String wu=sb.toString();
        String miao=sb.reverse().toString();
        if(wu.equals(miao)) return true;
        return false;
    }
