Implement a case insensitive contains() method for Java String class

Writing by shivdev on Friday, 12 of November , 2010 at 12:57 pm

One simple solution is to convert both strings to lower case and then use the contains() method.

public boolean containsIgnoreCase(String longString, String shortString) {
    return (longString.toLowerCase().contains(shortString.toLowerCase()));
}
