For example: String

Answer 1

I purpose to you a very simple method who use String.contains:

public static boolean containWhitespace(String value) {
    return value.contains(" ");
}

A little usage example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(containWhitespace("i love potatoes"));
    System.out.println(containWhitespace("butihatewhitespaces"));
}

Output:

true
false
