Find if a String is present in an array [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use Arrays.asList() to wrap the array in a List<String>, which does have a contains() method:

Arrays.asList(dan).contains(say.getText())

Answer 2

This is what you're looking for:

List<String> dan = Arrays.asList("Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Blue", "Violet", "Orange", "Blue");

boolean contains = dan.contains(say.getText());

If you have a list of not repeated values, prefer using a Set<String> which has the same contains method

Answer 3

String[] a= {"tube", "are", "fun"};
Arrays.asList(a).contains("any");
