This line:

if ("1".equals(answer.getText()))

should be:

if ("1".equals(answer.getText().toString()))

getText returns a CharSequence, not a string. From the documentation on String:

public boolean equals(Object anObject)

Compares this string to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as this object.
