Question

I don’t know why my if statement is not firing. I see in the logs that LoginStatus shows SUCCESS

LoginStatus = nameElement.getFirstChild().getNodeValue().trim();

System.out.println("status = *" + LoginStatus + "*");    

if(LoginStatus == "SUCCESS"){

     String FILENAME = "UserData.xml";
     FileOutputStream fos = ctx.openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
     fos.write(response.getBytes());
     fos.close();
     System.out.println("File Created");

}

You are not comparing a String correctly. Use equals rather than the equality operator:

if("SUCCESS".equals(LoginStatus)){

p.s. Java convention is for variables to start with a lowercase letter, so loginStatus
