I have a string array with values which I am trying to compare against text inputted into an edittext field. However despite both the edittext and the value in the array being the same my if (answer == guess) never resolves to true.
I've put debugging via Toast messages and it shows both answer and guess are the same. Can someone help with this please? Code below:
final EditText et;
et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
String guess = et.getText().toString();
String answer = LinesFromFile[LineNumber];
if (answer == guess)
{
Toast msg = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), answer + " " + guess + " right", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
msg.show();
}
else
{
Toast msg = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), answer + " " + guess + " wrong", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
msg.show();
}
Answer
You can't do string comparisons using == ... you need to use String.equals()
if (answer.equals(guess))
{
...
