What am i doing wrong in this code?

[Alexz003]

I am having problems with a very basic menu program and can't seem to figure out why i not getting the proper return:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class WellnessMenu
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        String choice;
        
        System.out.println("Please select one of the following options from the menu for more information.");
        System.out.println("\nSelect a letter corresponding to a menu option.");
        System.out.println("[A] BMI");
        // provide menu item for BMR
        System.out.println("[B] BMR");
        // provide menu item for Healthy Eating
        System.out.println("[C] Healthy Eating");
        // provide menu item for Food Pyramid
        System.out.println("[D] Food Pyramid");
        // provide menu item for Fitness Training
        System.out.println("[E] Fitness Training");
        // prompt user to enter A, B, C, D, or E: ");
        choice = in.nextLine();
        // accept user choice with a Scanner class method
       
        
        if(choice == "A" || choice == "a") //condition for choice A goes in the parentheses
        {
            System.out.println("Testing: You chose A for BMI");
        }
        else if(choice == "B" || choice == "b") //condition for choice B goes in the parentheses
        {
            // provide print statement to indicate menu item B was chosen
        	System.out.println("Testing: You chose B for BMR");
        }
        else if (choice == "C" || choice == "c") //condition for choice C goes in the parentheses
        {
            // provide print statement to indicate menu item C was chosen
        	System.out.println("Testing: You chose C for Healthy Eating");
        }
        else if (choice == "D" || choice == "d") //condition for choice D goes in the parentheses
        {
            // provide print statement to indicate menu item D was chosen
        	System.out.println("Testing: You chose D for Food Pyramid");
        }
        else if (choice == "E" || choice == "e") //condition for choice E goes in the parentheses
        {
            // provide print statement to indicate menu item E was chosen
        	System.out.println("Testing: You chose E for Fitness Training");
        }
        else //default choice for an invalid entry
        {
            // provide print statement to indicate invalid entry
        	System.out.println("Testing: You chose an invalid option.");
        }
    }
}

If i type in "a" or "A" it doesn't work. Same with all the other possible letters

P.S. simple java not advanced.

Do not use == to compare Strings, use the equals or equalsIgnoreCase methods instead.
