I do not see this text on the screen. I am trying to compare a number to a number in my if statement. I have stated PleaseEnter as android:inputType="number" in the layout. I have included some of the ways that I have tried to change my if statement to compare the values. I need help with 1. Having if statement validated to show what it needs to and 2. Have the output show on the screen. try PleaseEnter=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.PleaseEnter); { if ("1".equals(PleaseEnter)) //(PleaseEnter.getText().equals("1")) //(PleaseEnter.equals("1")) { // tv.setText("This is the display 1"); System.out.println("This is 1"); } else if (PleaseEnter.equals("2")) System.out.println("This 2"); else if (PleaseEnter.equals("3")) System.out.println("This 3"); else System.out.println("That number is not recognized."); }} catch (Exception ex) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
