How to verify a signed message?

[Pedro Roberto]

I am looking for the bitcoinj equivalent of the bitcoin core's RPC command verifymessage. I didn't find it mentioned in the documentation so I assume it doesn't exist, but I was hoping that maybe I am wrong or you can point me to some other way to do it?

I made an attempt at implementing it. 

Can someone help me find out what is wrong? https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/92406/how-to-verify-a-signed-message-in-bitcoinj

If you look at the org.bitcoinj.core.ECKeyTest#signTextMessage unit
test, it shows how it works. It uses

org.bitcoinj.core.ECKey#signMessage(java.lang.String) and
org.bitcoinj.core.ECKey#verifyMessage
