# Java Examples - Find an object in Array

## Problem Description:

How to find an object or a string in an Array?

## Solution:

Following example uses Contains method to search a String in the Array.

    import java.util.ArrayList;

    public class Main {
       public static void main(String[] args)  {
          ArrayList objArray = new ArrayList();
          ArrayList objArray2 = new ArrayList();
          objArray2.add(0,"common1");
          objArray2.add(1,"common2");
          objArray2.add(2,"notcommon");
          objArray2.add(3,"notcommon1");
          objArray.add(0,"common1");
          objArray.add(1,"common2");
          System.out.println("Array elements of array1"+objArray);
          System.out.println("Array elements of array2"+objArray2);
          System.out.println("Array 1 contains String common2?? "
          +objArray.contains("common1"));
          System.out.println("Array 2 contains Array1?? "
          +objArray2.contains(objArray) );
       }
    }

## Result:

The above code sample will produce the following result.

    Array elements of array1[common1, common2]
    Array elements of array2[common1, common2, notcommon, notcommon1]
    Array 1 contains String common2?? true
    Array 2 contains Array1?? false
