title: Android Intent getExtras
body: <p>I am passing values between two activities and fetching the values like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
      if (extras != null)
  
      {
          initialUrl = extras.getString("initialUrl");
          isFollow = extras.getString("isFollow");
      }
  
  
      if (isFollow == "true") {
          editUrl.setText(initialUrl);
          setUpWebView(initialUrl);
      } else if (isFollow == "false") {
          editUrl.setText("http://www.google.com");
          setUpWebView("http://www.google.com");
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the problem is I can see the values being retrieved in the debug window by adding watch to the variables but when the compiler enters the statement if(isFollow=="true"), the condition fails. The else case is also not dealt with. What else do i need to do to ensure that my if condition is satisfied properly?</p>
