Searching in a ArrayList with custom objects for certain strings

Question

I have a ArrayList with custom objects. I want to search inside this ArrayList for Strings.

The class for the objects look like this:

public class Da         


        

Answer 1

contains() method just calls equals() on ArrayList elements, so you can overload your class's equals() based on the name class variable. Return true from equals() if name is equal to the matching String. Hope this helps.
