How to check a string starts with a substring or not in java?

Question

I want to check a string which starts with http:// or not. How can I do that without loop? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

use public boolean startsWith(String prefix) in String API

eg : boolean isStartsWith = YOUR_STRING.startsWith("http://");

String tst = "http://web.com";
System.out.print(tst.startsWith("http://")); //prints true
