My string comparison is not working. I do not know why. It returns that it is always equal even when the two strings are not the same
here is the code Im using
if(videoFile.equals(LangSelect.INSTRUCTION_01));
{
Log.i("InstructionVideo", "video and instruction are equal\n"+ videoFile + "\n" + LangSelect.INSTRUCTION_01);
//hideBackButton();
}
The videoFile is intro_x.mp4 where x changes to number from 0 to 4 while INSTRUCTION_01 is into_0.mp4
the part of my onCreate that does sets videoFile variable
//get which video file to play
videoFile = getIntent().getExtras().getString("PlayVideo");
Log.i("InstructionVideo", "videoFile name: " +videoFile);
Here is the LogCat of that portion

It shows that even as i compare them they return true but are not
There's a ; at the end of the "if" line, which terminates the "if" statement, therefore the following block is always executed.
