Question

I am facing strange issue i am getting string from database and comparing with a string, but when i compare them with equals operator they do not come equal.

String1 = Love is a game that two can play and both win.
String2 = Love is a game that two can play and both win.

         Cursor data = database2.query("Quote", fields,  null, null, null, null, null);
         data.moveToFirst();


         for(int i = 0; i < data.getCount() ; i++){
         if(data.getString(2).trim().equals(_qt2.trim())){
              Log.i("Found Matching quote", "");
              data.moveToPosition(i);
          }  
      }

This is the log:

    E/Data 2(8818): Love is a game that two can play and both win.
    E/Data 3(8818): Love is a game that two can play and both win.

Thanks

Use trim(), ignorecase and contains (if your scenario supports it)
