Question

I have a weird problem… I use this code:

    String text = new String(values[0]);
    Log.e("TEST", "|" + text + "|" + new String(values[0]) + "|");
    if (text == "pong") {
        Log.e("TEST", "2|" + new String(values[0]) + "|");
        receivedresponse = true;
    } else {
        Log.e("TEST", "1|" + new String(values[0]) + "|");
        myToast.setText(new String(values[0]));
        myToast.show();
    }

values = 112,111,110,103

String(values[0]) = “pong”

text = new String(values[0]) = “pong”

still text != “pong”… however “pong” == “pong”?

Anyone knows why?

In java you need to use .equals on the string:

   text.equals("pong");
