Question

I have three actvities. When I click on button they open with no problems,But when I want to open an activity by condition it is not working.

if(s2=="Both") {

   Intent i = new Intent();
   i.setClassName("com.gotit.babynames", "com.gotit.babynames.BabyNameActivity");
   startActivity(i);

   setTitle(s2);

} else if(s2=="Boys") {

    Intent j = new Intent();
    j.setClassName("com.gotit.babynames", "com.gotit.babynames.Boys");
    startActivity(j);

    setTitle(s2);

} else  {
    Intent k = new Intent();
    k.setClassName("com.gotit.babynames", "com.gotit.babynames.Girls");
    startActivity(k);

    setTitle(s2);
}

Answer 1

Try using this:

if ( "Both".equals ( s2 ) )
{
    //Do something
}

s2 == "Both" will not compare the text in Java.

You can also use this to ignore casing:

if ( "Both".equalsIgnoreCase ( s2 ) ) 
{
     //Do something
}
