java - How to get Spinner Selected Item in Android

Question

I am making a currency converter with two spinners. I want to make an "if" function using the values of the spinner's selected item like below.

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (spinner1.getSelectedItem()=="Dollars" && spinner2.getSelectedItem()=="Euros") {
            convertDollarstoEuros();
        }
        if (spinner1.getSelectedItem()=="Euros" && spinner2.getSelectedItem()=="Euros") {
            convertEurostoEuros();
        }
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
            "OnClickListener : " + 
                    "
Spinner 1 : "+ String.valueOf(spinner1.getSelectedItem()) + 
                    "
Spinner 2 : "+ String.valueOf(spinner2.getSelectedItem()),
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

The problem is that the toast is showing, but the currencies aren't converting. The toast part is working, but the spinner part isn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my LogCat:

Try this :

if (spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString().equals("Dollars") && spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString().equals("Euros")
...

getSelectedItem() returns an Object . info . So you have to get the corresponding string first. Then java compares strings using equals().
