Removing spaces from string

I'm trying to remove all the spaces from a string derived from user input, but for some reason it isn't working for me. Here is my code.

public void onClick(View src) {
    switch (src.getId()) {
        case R.id.buttonGo:
            String input = EditTextinput.getText().toString();
            input = String.replace(" ", "");
            url = ur + input + l;
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(start.this, Main.class);
            myIntent.putExtra("URL", url);
            start.this.startActivity(myIntent);
            break;
        }
}
