Question

I am writing a service application in Android. In this application, I am receiving commands from Main activity using onStartCommand event. The IF block is checking a variable. As you can see in the picture(Debug mode), the value is “start” but the IF statement doesn’t work and will redirect to Else. why?

Answer 1

try with .equals will help you…

String is not Primary Data type in java

Always use .equals() when you have Object and String is Object

== is only for primitive data type and == in object compare your String Refrences…not value…

if(ReceivedCommandFromUser.equals("start"))
    {

      }
