• How do I compare strings in Java? 23 answers

This is a quiz app in Java. I am trying to compare the answer text stored as a variable (answeredOne) to the actual answer Prophase. I cannot get them to be equal. Do you see anything wrong with this code?

    EditText questionOne = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.answer_one);
    String answeredOne = questionOne.getText().toString();
    if (answeredOne == "Prophase") {
        score = score + 1;
    }

I keep getting zero when answering in the question.
