ArrayList contains case sensitivity

Question

I am currently using the contains method belonging to the ArrayList class for making a search. Is there a way to make this search case insensitive in java? I found that in C

Answer 1

Assuming you have an ArrayList

About the only way I can think of to do this would be to create a very light wrapper class around a String and override equals and hashcode to ignore case, leveraging equalsIgnoreCase() where possible. Then you would have an ArrayList. It's kinda an ugly idea though.
