How do I compare strings in Java?

I have this code its working fine in retreiving the value from the url, but its not recognizing that the string is “True” is the toString() what I need or something else?

try {
    URL url = new URL("http://www.koolflashgames.com/test.php?id=1");
    URLConnection yc = url.openConnection();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yc
            .getInputStream()));
    inputLine = in.readLine();
    inputLine = inputLine.toString();
    if(inputLine == "True") {
        logger.info(inputLine);
        player.sendMessage("Thanks");
    }else{
        logger.info(inputLine);
        player.sendMessage("HAHAHA");
    }
    in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

You cannot use == to compare the content of Strings, as they are objects. You have to create a method to compare objects. In the case of strings, you can use stringName.equals(otherString).
