You can achieve this using NumberForamtter and ParsePosition. Check out this solution

        String temp = "a"; // "1"
        NumberFormat numberFormatter = NumberFormat.getInstance();
        ParsePosition parsePosition = new ParsePosition(0);
        numberFormatter.parse(temp, parsePosition);
        if(temp.length() == parsePosition.getIndex()) {
            System.out.println("It is a number");
        } else {
            System.out.println("It is a not number");
        }
    }
}
