Question

I am currently developing my first android application, which is actually my first contact with java ever. Therefore, I suppose this question has an obvious answer to experienced developers, but I couldn’t find anything at SO or anywhere else.

The following EditText has two toasts (I’m not sure if that sounded right). One is shown if the user types a specific word (in this case, Please is shown if the user types Magic word and presses the button). I would like the another toast to appear if the user types anything else but that word (anything but “Magic word”) when clicking the button.

EditText editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
{

if(editText1.getText().toString().trim().equals("Magic word"))
{
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
        "Please", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}                                                                                                                                        
} 
else if (editText1.getText().toString().trim().equals())
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
    "You didn't say the magic word", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
});

I apologize for my poor english. Hopefully, I made myself understood.

Thank you very much.

Following code give you the solution:

final EditText editText1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);        
    Button btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            final String edittext=editText1.getText().toString();
            if(edittext.trim().equals("Magic word"))
            {
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                    "Please", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }  

            else
            {
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                    "You didn't say the magic word", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    });
