Hi all, I have a very simple game that I'm trying to do for learning purposes. One of the options is selecting the number of players (2-4) via a spinner. When a choice is made from the spinner I am moving the value to a string and then using that string in a series of if/else if statements to (eventually) handle the option. I am running into the problem where the condition that (to me) seems like it should be true is evaluating to false. If I select "Two", the value moved to the variable is "Two" but the check for the variable == "Two" isn't getting hit. (hope that was all clear, backstory may not be needed but better safe than vague). Anyway, the spinner's OnSelectedItemListener...
public class MyPlayerOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) { String strResult; strResult = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(); if (strResult == "Two") { Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "this is the result when one is selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else if (strResult == "Three") { Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "three players /" + strResult + "/", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else if (strResult == "Four") { Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "four", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else { Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "something else /" + strResult + "/", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { } } No matter what I select using this code the Toast shows as "something else /" + what the value actually is + "/". i.e. if I chose 'Two' the toast reads "something else /Two/". Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. I'm certain it is something very fundamental that I'm just missing.
