XML string problem
Mar 16th, 2010, 4:53pm  
I have this
Code:
 
    String a = kid.getStringAttribute("shape");
    if(a == "square") {
     fill( kid.getIntAttribute("color") );
	rect( kid.getIntAttribute("x"), kid.getIntAttribute("y"), kid.getIntAttribute("size"), kid.getIntAttribute("size") );
    }


and the xml is this.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<shapes>
   <site shape="square" size="100" color="#ccaa88" x="199" y="11" />
   <site shape="circle" size="50" color="#1155ff" x="100" y="100" />
</shapes>



The shape attribute shows up as a 'square' or 'circle' but the if condition doesn't trigger. It's the strangest thing.

thanks for any insights.

I found the answer... It was the string condition, it should be
Code:

if (a.equals("square") {
......


I guess Strings has a different way of doing things.
