Comparing Text Isn't Working in Java [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

So, I'm trying to do something really simple, and that's check if a password equals something in my SWT application. So, my code was this:

if (passwordBox.getText() == "test") {
passwordBox.setVisible(false);
}


However, in my application, which uses text fields marked as passwords (with that variable), it will not fire that when I click a button. I already have button handling working, since I have an else statement that fires, but this will not fire when the password box obviously equals "test". What's wrong here?

else

Strings are always compared by equals().

equals()

if(("test").equals(passwordBox.getText())) {
passwordBox.setVisible(false);
}
