What is wrong with the boolean method?

public class GameActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Game game;
    private ImageView gameImageView;
    private TextView gameTextView;
    private Button submitButton;
    private EditText gameEditText;
    private Answer gameAnswer;
    private int points;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_game);

        gameImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gameImageView);
        gameTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.gameTextView);
        submitButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submitButton);
        gameEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.gameSquare);
        game = new Game();
        loadPage(0);
    }

    private void loadPage(int pageNumber) {
        final String convertedEditText = gameEditText.getText().toString();
        final Page page = game.getPage(pageNumber);
        final String correctAnswer = page.getAnswer().getCorrectAnswer();


        Drawable image = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, page.getImageId());
        gameImageView.setImageDrawable(image);

        String pageText = getString(page.getTextId());
        gameTextView.setText(pageText);

        public boolean verifyAnswer() {
        boolean gotItRight = false;
        if (convertedEditText == correctAnswer) {
            gotItRight = true;
            int nextPage = page.getAnswer().getNextPage();
            loadPage(nextPage);
        } else if (convertedEditText != correctAnswer || convertedEditText == null) {
            startSubmit();
        }
        return gotItRight;
    }

        submitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick (View view){
        verifyAnswer();
    }
    });
}


    private void startSubmit() {
     Intent submitIntent = new Intent(this, SubmitActivity.class);
        startActivity(submitIntent);
    }


}
