Hello everyone,

A newbie on this streets, I have login screen I created It's failing to go to the next screen. Please feedback on the code block. Its output is always wrong email or password

The issue here is you are doing .toString() to your TextView references and not the actual text. Try to change to this:

if (email.getText().toString().isEmpty() || password..getText().toString().isEmpty()){
            Toast.makeText(this, "Email or Password is not Provided", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        } else {
            if (email..getText().toString() == "<mailto:[e-mail]|[e-mail]>" && password..getText().toString() == "234567"){
                val intent = Intent(this, ViewActivity::class.java)
                startActivity(intent)
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Wrong email or password", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
            }
        }

It should work. Also take a look at some the util methods Kotlin has for text such as .isEmpty() , .isNotEmpty() , .isNullOrBlank() etc.

• Thank you @Joaquim Ley. I really appreciate the help. I fixed it and the IDE recommended I use .text instead of getText() after.

Yes because you are using Kotlin, but I thoought it would be better for you to read/know it is a method on the Editable the TextInputEditText returns.
