Answer 1

You are not comparing the full String in the list but rather a substring of one of strings in the list.

You will have to loop through the list and check with each String individually.

String temp = abc.substring(0,3);
boolean flag = true;
for(String value: lstValues.subList(0, 3))
 if(value.contains(temp)) // or if(value.indexOf(temp) != -1)
  {
    System.out.println("**** Match Found ****");
    flag = false;
    break;
  }
if(flag)
  System.out.println("**** No Match Found ****");
