Arduino serial communication input string checking

Question

I am trying to check whether the input string in my serial is inside my string array, but it seems like that the condition if(array[i]==inputString) does not print true.

So here is my code:

String array[4]={"hey","jude","jane"},inputString,test;
boolean stringComplete=false;
void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  //int store=0;
  serialEvent();
  if(stringComplete){
    Serial.println(inputString);
    for(int i=0;i<4;i++){
      Serial.println("..");
      //test=array[i];
      Serial.println(array[i]);
      if(inputString==array[i]){
        Serial.println("true");
        break;
      }
    }
  inputString="";
  stringComplete=false;
  }
   //Serial.println(store);
}

void serialEvent() {
  while (Serial.available()) {
    char inChar = (char)Serial.read();
    inputString += inChar;
    if (inChar == '\n') {
      stringComplete = true;
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

First, you declare an array of 4 items and provide an initializer for 3. Don't know how it can even compile, maybe it is tolerated but in doubt

String [] array = {"hey","jude","jane","foo"}; 

Also, your serialEvent function appends \n to the string. Even if you receive string jane, you will compare jane from array with jane\n from serial

char inChar = (char)Serial.read();
if( inChar == '\n')
   stringComplete = true;
else
   inputString += inChar
