Answer 1

if(button.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("start")){
//start capture
}else if (button.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("stop")){
// stop capture
}

try this hope it helps

Answer 2

Always use switch for nested if else statements

switch(button.getText().toString()){
case "start":
//start capture
break;
case "stop":
// stop capture
break;
}

It is always checking all conditions in nested if else statements. But in switch case it will go to the relevant case only, won't check all the conditions.

Answer 3

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);

String btnText = button.getText().toString();

if (btnText.equalsIgnoreCase("start")){

  //something here
}

-Or-

Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);;

if(btn.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(text)){

   //something here

}

Answer 4

if(button1.getText().toString().equals("Start")){

}else if(button2.getText().toString().equals("Stop")){

}
