Android Studio - Doubt about String’s comparisons

Question

I have the following code

static String q1 = "select * from faculdade";

if(edit.getText().toString().equals(q1)) {

    bar.setCurrentPosition(++position);
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Certa Resposta!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

When I say as stated in the string and press the button, it executes what was requested.

However, if one gives more than 2 spaces or puts a comma together or separated, he does not recognize. It only works if I type much like the variable. How do I get around it ? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Answer 1

You can compare using the method:

1. .trim(), to clear spaces

   import java.io.*; 
   public class Test {
   
      public static void main(String args[]) {
             String Str = new String("Hello World");
             System.out.println(Str.trim() ); 
   
          }
       }
   

   printa: Helloworld

2. .replaceAll("qualquer caracter aqui", "será substituido pelo carácter que estiver aqui")
