If statement is not working with my getText().toString()

Before I start explaining I'll just get you into the code.

EditText br = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);

if ( br.getText().toString() == "0") {

                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "It works", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

It's that simple. But I don't understand why it doesn't work! I typed in ("1" == "1") in the if statements just to see if there is anything else wrong. But the message shows up on my phone.

The edittext field has the number 0 on it. I have no clue why this simple if statement would not work. I also have little knowledge so please do help.

            }
