Android list of folders, skip folders by names

Question

What is wrong here?

 for (File f: list){

      Log.e("dir", f.getName());

      String foldername = f.getName().trim();
      if(foldername != "Test"){
      Log.e("dir_repeat",foldername);
      }
 }

Why do I receive dir_repeat even when the folder name is Test ??

I want to skip some folders while list, based on their names.

You should check String like this using equals()

for (File f: list){
      Log.e("dir", f.getName());
      String foldername = f.getName().trim();
      if(foldername.equals("Test"))
      {
        Log.e("dir_repeat",foldername); 
      }
}
