Question

Hi I have a spinner (spinner5) and whenever the user selects an item that says “age” I want the textview to change to 21. I have tried the following but it doesnt work. I can do this by using if (getSelectedItemPosition() == 1) but the spinner’s contents are dynamic so thats not an option.

            if (spinner5.getSelectedItem().toString()=="age"){
            textArea.setText("21");
        }

Answer 1

Always Use .equals when compare two string because == only use for Primitive data types

.equals=compare two string value
== =compare two string refrences

if (spinner5.getSelectedItem().toString().equals("age")){
            textArea.setText("21");
        }
