Question

I am passing values between two activities and fetching the values like this:

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if (extras != null)

    {
        initialUrl = extras.getString("initialUrl");
        isFollow = extras.getString("isFollow");
    }


    if (isFollow == "true") {
        editUrl.setText(initialUrl);
        setUpWebView(initialUrl);
    } else if (isFollow == "false") {
        editUrl.setText("http://www.google.com");
        setUpWebView("http://www.google.com");
    }

the problem is I can see the values being retrieved in the debug window by adding watch to the variables but when the compiler enters the statement if(isFollow==”true”), the condition fails. The else case is also not dealt with. What else do i need to do to ensure that my if condition is satisfied properly?

Answer 1

You should use

isFollow.equals("true")

in your statements.
