title: Checking null String in android
body: <p>I am developing an android application.I am getting a String value as null from webservice. I am fetching the value and storing it in a String variable. Then when I print the value using Log, like Log.i("tag", "````!!!cell >>"+cell);, I an getting null printed in the screen. Now what i need is that I need to check the variable for 'null' and I want to display a textfield with no value if it is 'null'. I am using the following statement for checking </p>
  
  <pre><code>if(!cell.equals(null) || !cell.equals("")) {
    _______
  } else {
    _______
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the control is not going inside the else part if the value us 'null'</p>
  
  <p>Please give me a solution.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
