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 class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
        if(s == null)
            return true;
        s = s.toLowerCase();
        char[] ch = new char[s.length()];
        int m = 0;
        for(int i = 0;i< s.length();i++){
            if((s.charAt(i) >= '0' && s.charAt(i) <= '9') || (s.charAt(i) >= 'a' && s.charAt(i) <= 'z')){
                ch[m] = s.charAt(i);
                m++;
            }
        }
        
        int j = 0;
        for(int i = ch.length-1;i >=0;i--){
              if(!((ch[i] >= '0' && ch[i] <= '9')||(ch[i] >= 'a' && ch[i] <= 'z')))
                  continue; 
              else{
                  if(ch[i] != ch[j])
                      return false;
                  j++;
              }
        }
        return true;
    }
}
