private JLabel lb = new JLabel("Enter text :");
private JTextField jtf1 = new JTextField(10);
private JButton jb = new JButton("ENTER");
private JLabel lb2 = new JLabel(" ");

public void init() {
add(lb);
add(jtf1);
add(jb);
add(lb2);
jb.addActionListener(this);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
String authorized = "Lawrence";
String name = jtf1.getText();
if (e.getSource() == jb) {
if (authorized == name)
lb2.setText("Access Granted");
else
lb2.setText("Wrong Name);
}

Example: i have to key in the name called "Lawrence" once i key in and i press the "Enter" button , it will show the text("Access Granted") in a Label field. If key in other name it will show ("Wrong Name")in a Label field.

I guess there is something wrong with my code for the comparison string..

Please give some guidance ..thanks ..

Please fix your post to include code tags, just like it says in the box where you pasted the code




Use the .equals() method and not ==

Thanks for reply.. i cant find any edit post for my main post...

OK, i have modified my code , but it still don't give the result ..

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    String authorized = "Lawrence";
    String name = jtf1.getText();
    if (e.getSource() == jb) {
        if (name.equals(authorized))
            lb2.setText("Wrong name");
        else
            lb2.setText("Access Granted");
    }

should work. May be you would like:

if (name.equalsIgnoreCase(authorized))
