android - Use NFC "payload" variable in "if" statement

Question

I'm attempting to use the "payload" value from an external record that I've written to an NFC tag. I know that the record has been written successfully to the NFC tag. I'm having problems using that "payload" value in an "if" statement. My code follows:

protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    // read nfc tag...IS THIS WHAT WILL "READ" THE PAYLOAD VALUE THAT HAS BEEN WRITTIEN?

    if (getIntent().hasExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG)) {

        NdefMessage ndefMessage =       this.getNdefMessageFromIntent(getIntent());
        if(ndefMessage.getRecords().length > 0){
            NdefRecord ndefRecord = ndefMessage.getRecords()[0];
            String payload = new String(ndefRecord.getPayload());
            Toast.makeText(this, payload, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
    enableForegroundDispatchSystem();
}

Once I'm able to "read" the payload value, I want to specify what block of code to run. For example:

protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);


    ///IF Payload Value = 1...Then run this code block:

    if (intent.hasExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG))
    {
        Toast.makeText(this, "NFC Scan", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Tag tag = intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);

        String url = "http://www.google.com";
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
        startActivity(i);
    }

    ///IF Payload = 2, then run this code block: 

 if (intent.hasExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG))
    {
        Toast.makeText(this, "NFC Scan", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        Tag tag = intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);

        String url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
        startActivity(i);
    }

}

I hope this makes sense, I'm only trying to run a simple "if/else" statement based on the value of the Payload that has been written to the tag. Thanks for any help!!

Assuming that you refer to the String variable payload in OnResume, then you can write:

if (payload.equals("1")) {...}
