Treating JSON Response with Retrofit in Android Studio

Question

To be clear, I am developing a simple application test, where my user type the Cpf of a registered customer and their data as customers appear on the screen. My server returns me a json with a simple structure like this:

{"id":1,"name":"Lucas","cpf":11111111100,"tel1":33999999999,"empresa":"Empresa 1"}

Using retrofit I make the call normally

@GET("{id}")
Call<Cliente> getCliente(@Path("id")  String  cliente);
public static final  Retrofit retrofit=  new
        Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl("http://meuIP:porta/")
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
        .build();

I create a POJO to receive data from json:

public class Cliente{

int id;
public String name;
public String cpf;
public String tel1;
public String empresa;

public String getCpf() {
    return cpf;
}

and in my main class I make the call by clicking a button:

btLogar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {

            // Aqui a função do botão entrar

            RetrofitDados  retrofitDados = RetrofitDados.retrofit.create(RetrofitDados.class);
            final Call<Cliente> call = retrofitDados.getCliente("");


            dialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
            dialog.setMessage("Carregando...");
            dialog.setCancelable(false);
            dialog.show();

            call.enqueue(new Callback<Usuario>() {
                @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
                @Override
                public void onResponse(Call<Cliente> call, Response<Cliente> response) {

                    if (dialog.isShowing()) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                    int code = response.code();
                    //boolean resposta = response.isSuccessful();

                    if (code == 200) {
                        Cliente cliente = response.body();

                        verificarCpf(cliente.cpf);

                    } else {
                        gerarToast("Falha:  " + String.valueOf(code));
                    }
                }

                @Override
                public void onFailure(Call<Cliente> call, Throwable t) {
                    if (dialog.isShowing()) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                }
            });
        }
    });

It works perfectly up to there. When I check the returned data (in case the client Cpf entered) the program does not check and does not resume an error.

In my interface there is a Textinputlayout with a Textinputedittext where I type the client’s Cpf. The program should check the "equality" between what was typed and the server response.

private void verificarCpf(final String cpf) {

    String resposta = textCPF.getText().toString();

    if ( resposta == cpf) {
        gerarToast("" + cpf);
    } else {
        Log.e("TAG", resposta);
    }

}

even my answer converted to String

cliente.cpf

and my Edittext converted to String

textCPF.getText().toString();

having the same result value. No verification.

And what I’d like is a hint and a solution, in case I’m forgetting to do something in the code.
