Question

I have an android app. in that I am comparing two strings from the EditTest, but I get some strange results…

if(v==findViewById(R.id.submit)){
            //

            if(email==crfm_email)
            {

                String warn="Done!";
                Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), warn, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                toast.show();
            }
            else
            {
                oFN=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.owners_first_name);
                String warn="email addresses do not match "+eMail+" "+crfEmail;
                Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), warn, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
                toast.show();

            }

        } 

the problem is that the control always goes to the else part even if the input for both variables are same.
I know that its a simple mistake but cant crack it out…!

Answer 1

Looks like you are doing an object ref compare instead of an object compare.

if(email==crfm_email)

Should probably be…

if(email.equals(crfm_email))
