Two strings or two objects cannot be compared using ==. To compare two objects you should use isEqual.

In this case :

if([stringToBeCompared isEqualToString:@"comparestring"])
{
   //statement
}

NSString *title=[btn currentTitle];

if([title isEqualToString:@"SelectCategory"])
{
  NSLog(@"Equal");
}

Try this

UIButton *YourButton=btn;    

if([[YourButton titleForState:UIControlStateNormal] isEqualToString:@"SelectCategory"])
{
        // normal
}
else if([[YourButton titleForState:UIControlStateHighlighted] isEqualToString:@"SelectCategory"])
{
        //highlighted
}
else if([[YourButton titleForState:UIControlStateSelected] isEqualToString:@"SelectCategory"])
{
        //selected
}
else
{
        //somecode
}

Never compare two strings using '==', use isEqualToString

if ([title isEqualToString:@"SelectCategory"]){
   //alert
}else{
   //somecode
}

Never use == to compare strings, with == you're checking if the pointer of a string is the same of another string, and it's not what you want.

Try this line:

If([btn.titleLabel.text isEqualToString:@"Your text"])
{
//do this
}
else
{
//do this
}

Use

if ([title isEqualToString:@"SelectCategory"]) {}

instead of == operator.
