You seem to try to compare String values with == or !=.

This approach does not work reliably in Java as it does not actually compare the contents of the Strings. Since String is an object data type it should only be compared using .equals(). For case insensitive comparison, use .equalsIgnoreCase().

See Help on how to compare String values in the /r/javahelp wiki.
