Confirm password field not working

Question

I am trying to match two field that is of password but its showing password do not match

 else if (_passwordText.getText().toString().equals("") || _passwordText.length() < 4 || _passwordText.length() > 10) {
        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(Register.this).create();
        alertDialog.setTitle("oops!");
        alertDialog.setMessage("Password  field is empty");
        alertDialog.show();
    }


   else if (_repasswordText.getText().toString().equals(_passwordText.getText().toString())) {
        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(Register.this).create();
        alertDialog.setTitle("oops!");
        alertDialog.setMessage("Passwords do not match");
        alertDialog.show();
        }

Also "field is empty" is a strange message for `length < 4 || length > 10` — OneCricketeer, Dec 12 '16 at 07:48
Validate what? Your code says `if (passwords_are_equal) { setMessage("do not match") }` — OneCricketeer, Dec 12 '16 at 07:52
Anyways, if you are new to all this, you may be taking on more than you can handle. You seem to have made a logical mistake, and you should take more time to debug the code yourself instead of immediately heading to StackOverflow — OneCricketeer, Dec 12 '16 at 07:55
before i was using else if(repassword.getText().toString()!= password.getText().toString() ) — Deepak, Dec 12 '16 at 07:57
Well, yes. You should learn basic Java first, probably, but that is not how you compare strings. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/513832/how-do-i-compare-strings-in-java — OneCricketeer, Dec 12 '16 at 07:59

else if (_passwordText.getText().toString().equals("")  {
        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(Register.this).create();
        alertDialog.setTitle("oops!");
        alertDialog.setMessage("Password  field is empty");
        alertDialog.show();
    }


   else if (!_repasswordText.getText().toString().equals(_passwordText.getText().toString())) {
        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(Register.this).create();
        alertDialog.setTitle("oops!");
        alertDialog.setMessage("Passwords do not match");
        alertDialog.show();
        }

FYI

At first check equals("")
Add ! sign before _repasswordText.getText().toString()

You should add ! before

_repasswordText.getText().toString().equals(_passwordText.getText().toString())

You can use _repasswordText.getText().toString().contentEquals(_passwordText.getText().toString())
