I want to check for null or empty specifically in my code. Does empty and null are same for StringBuilder in Java?
For example:
StringBuilder state = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder err= new StringBuilder();
success = executeCommand(cmd, state, err);
/* here executeCommand() returns empty or null in state, I cant make changes in
executeCommand() so can I check it in my code somehow for state, if its null or empty? */
if (state == null) { //do blabla1 }
if (state.tostring().equals("")) { //do blabla2 }
Does above code make sense or how should I change it?

No, null and empty are different for StringBuilder.
StringBuilder nullBuilder = null;
if(nullBuilder == null) {
System.out.println("Builder is null");
}
&
StringBuilder emptyBuilder = new StringBuilder("");
if(emptyBuilder == null || emptyBuilder.toString().equals("")) {
System.out.println("Builder is empty");
}
