In Java 8, you don't need to convert the array at all; just turn it into a stream via Arrays#stream, then use the anyMatch predicate to see if the value you want is contained in the array.
int[] array = {3, 2, 5, 4};
if (Arrays.stream(array).anyMatch(x -> x == 3)) {
System.out.println("The array contains 3");
}
