Thread: Help Needed - Strings from sockets?

I'm able to send strings through sockets with a pc server and android client, but theres an issue.
I use this
output = new PrintWriter(MyClient.getOutputStream(), true);
to send data from client and from server(MyClient changes between the two.)
and this
input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(MyClient.getInputStream()));
to get data from the client and from the server(MyClient, again, changes.)
but on the server, when i get the input and try to actually use it, such as

	String in = input.readLine();
if(in == "example"){
do something
}

but of course, nothing happens and it seems to just skip it, i'm thinking maybe it does something to the encoding, but i really have no idea. Any ideas?
