[wenn32]

import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDletStateChangeException;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;


public class first extends MIDlet implements CommandListener{

	Display display;
	Form loginform = new Form("Login Apps");
	private Command login_command = new Command("Login",Command.OK,1);
	private Command exit_command = new Command("Exit",Command.EXIT,2);
	TextField UserName = new TextField("Enter UserName","",10,TextField.NON_PREDICTIVE);
	TextField PassWord = new TextField("Enter Password","",10,TextField.NON_PREDICTIVE);
	StringItem Status = new StringItem("Status","Please Login to see Status");
	
	
	public first() {
		
	}

	protected void destroyApp(boolean Exit_type) throws MIDletStateChangeException {
		

	}

	protected void pauseApp() {
		

	}

	protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
				
		loginform.append(UserName);
		loginform.append(PassWord);
		loginform.append(Status);
		loginform.addCommand(login_command);
		loginform.addCommand(exit_command);
		loginform.setCommandListener(this);
		
		display = Display.getDisplay(this);
		display.setCurrent(loginform);
	}
	
	
	public void commandAction(Command cmd, Displayable arg1) {
		if(cmd==login_command)
		{
			String login = UserName.getString();
			String pass = PassWord.getString();
			if(login=="java" && pass=="midp")
				Status.setText("Login Sucess!!!!");
			else Status.setText("Login Failed!.Try Again!");
			UserName.setString("");
			PassWord.setString("");
		}
		else if(cmd==exit_command) notifyDestroyed();
		
	}

}

now when i enter username as "java" & password as "midp" it still shows me login failed.whats the problem?

Thanks for helping!

What does your Java language reference say of the String.equals() method?

Hello wenn32, good evening.

How about this --> if(login.equals("java") && pass.equals("midp")
