spinner If Strings** == not working

Question

Why is this not working ?!

if(itemx == \"Test number item 0\")
    {
    Log.i(\"Dropdown\", \"inside if\");
    us_lo_ans_hold.setText(\"0x\");
    }; 
<         


        

Answer 1

If your itemx is a variable then you cant compare two strings with ==. Use instead items.equals("Test number item 0");

== compares objects and equals() compare string values. Take a look a this post.
