In your case answer1 is generic integer type You're probably confusing it with EditText or TextView as there is no getText() method for it.

You can either convert answer to string: Integer.toString(answer1) and then compare it to string from EditText

Or either by parsing EditText string value to integer (which would I do)

int userAnswer = Integer.parseInt(editText.getText().toString());
int realAnswer = snum + fnum;

if ( realAnswer == userAnswer ) {
 // hey Tim, he can do math
}

or something like that

Instead of casting answer1 to a String have you tried parsing the user input to a numerical value(int, or float depending on your implementation) and then using a numerical comparison? That way you arent trying to compare a string value(which could have extra white-space etc)
