Question

I made an application for android and i have two languages (english – greek) and i want when the device has english locale to have different fonts than it has in the greek language.

I used

String loc = Locale.getDefault().getISO3Language();

to get the iso3Language (eng, ell, deu….) and then i used an if command

if(loc=="eng"){
        Typeface font1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "MISTRAL.TTF");
        txt1.setTypeface(font1);
        txt1.setText(R.string.app_name);
    }
    else{
        Typeface font1 = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "SNAP.TTF");
        txt1.setTypeface(font1);
        txt1.setText(R.string.app_name);
    }

but it doesn’t recognise it and even when i have english locale it executes the else part of the code!!
Can you help me please?? Thank you!!

In java, you can’t compare string using ==. Use the equals method instead.
