char array to String, can't use in if-statement

Question

char[] Char = {'a','b'};
String str = "ab";

String c = new String(Char);

if(str == c){
    System.out.println("working!");
}

I've converted the array "Char" to a String "c" but when i try to use it in the if-statement it's nor working. Nothing prints out and no erors.

Help please!

Use `String`'s `equals` method to compare string contents, not the `==` operator. — rgettman, Feb 28 '14 at 22:22
Use equal method .. something like this string1.equals(string2).. — sp1rs, Feb 28 '14 at 22:23

You need to use equals() instead of == for Strings:

char[] Char = {'a','b'};
String str = "ab";

String c = new String(Char);

if(str.equals(c)){
    System.out.println("working!");
}
