Given an ArrayList, and we have to find/search an element from the list using Java program.
ArrayList.contains()
Method is used to check whether an element is exists in the ArrayList or not, this method return "false" if element is not found, and returns "true" if element exists in the ArrayList.
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class SearchAnElement {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//ArrayList object
ArrayList arrList = new ArrayList();
//adding elements in the list
arrList.add("100");
arrList.add("200");
arrList.add("300");
arrList.add("400");
arrList.add("500");
//searching element "300"
boolean isFound = arrList.contains("300");
if (isFound == false)
System.out.println("Element is not found in the list");
else
System.out.println("Element is found in the list");
}
}
