You can change @Alessio's code like this. It also works on your cases.

public List getIntervals(String[] parent, String[] child) {
    List intervals = new ArrayList();
    Interval interval = new Interval();

    for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < parent.length; i++) {
        if (child[j].equals(parent[i])) {
            j++;
            if (j == 1) {
                interval.start = i;
            }
            if (j == child.length) {
                interval.end = i;
                intervals.add(interval);
                interval = new Interval();
                j = 0;
            }
        } else {
            j = 0;
        }
    }

    return intervals;
}
