Java - Libgdx : Issue with the condition Else

Question

I'm trying to write a condition but the else structure always show me an error:

Skin skin;
        skin = new Skin(Gdx.files.internal("default/skin/uiskin.json"));
        réponse = new TextField("", skin);
        réponse.setPosition(stage.getWidth() / 2 - 445, stage.getHeight() / 1 - 1600);
        réponse.setSize(900, 120);
        stage.addActor(réponse);

        if (réponse.getText().equals("riviere")){
            game.setScreen(new Stage1(game));
            music.stop();
        }
        else (!réponse.equals("riviere")){
            ecrireLeTexte = true;
        }

Code explanation: I want to make a condtion as if the user enter the good word (riviere) it will lead it to the next screen if not it will verify the boolean of ecrireLeTexte which is drawing the text "not the good word, retry"

Answer 1

You're missing the 'if' keyword in front of the 'else' keyword:

else if(!réponse.equals("riviere")){

That indicates that if the first condition was not passed, it delegates to the second one. There can be multiple 'else if's:

if(false){
    // Nope...
} else if(false){
    // Nope...
} else if(true){
    // Success!
}
