JAVA GET response for HTTP POST Request

Question

How to get the status code or something better to know if an message was sent? I already do this, but off course it don't work.

            httppost.setEntity(new StringEntity(message.toString()));

            // Execute HTTP Post Request
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            String status = response.getStatusLine().toString();

            Log.d(CLASS_TAG + "showOnScreenMessage", "Message sent! ");
            Log.d(CLASS_TAG + "showOnScreenMessage", "Status : " + status );

            // if response == 201 , the message has be received, Set True to acknowledgment_message 
            if ( status == "201"){
                Log.d(CLASS_TAG + "showOnScreenMessage", "Message received! ");


            }else{
                // Do nothing already false
                Log.d(CLASS_TAG + "showOnScreenMessage", "Message not received! ");
            }

Thanks for your suggestions

Answer 1

Change:

status == "201"

to:

status.equals("201")

Answer 2

String compare as it's say above.

status.equals("201")

Or you can use :

response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != HttpStatus.SC_OK

All status here
