The standard way to compare a variable String to a constant is to use this syntax:
if(myString.equals("test")){ doSomething();}However, if myString is null, a NullPointerException will be thrown.
Instead, use:
if("test".equals(myString)){ doSomething();}If myString is null, the comparison will return false rather than an Exception.
