Try this:

        String[] bob = { "this", "is", "a", "really", "silly", "list" };

        if (Arrays.asList(bob).contains("silly")) {
            // true
        }

"silly" is text of your EditText.

For getting text from edit text and compare according to your comment use some like:

if(yourEditText.getText().toString().trim().equalsIgnoreCase("silly"))
{
//do your work here
}

Thanks.

how can i get item info from String Array Resources ??

ViVek ViVi Over a year ago

im having all item names in StringArray resource.. either we can use String[] bob = { "this", "is", "a", "really", "silly", "list" }; like this... if am entering one item name in edittext box i should get the exact item name .. String[] bob = { "this", "is", "a", "really", "silly", "list" }; if(et1.getText().toString().equals(Arrays.asList(bob).contains("silly"))) { // true } equals() between objects of inconvertible types 'string' and 'editable' .

You can get String Array Resources as: String[] bob=getResources().getStringArray(R.array.bob);

I haven't test it but you could try this.

String[]  drugs = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Drugsinfo);

for(int index = 0; index < drugs.length;index++) {
   if(editext1.getText().toString().equals(drugs[index])) {
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "some usefull info for you  buddy        ...",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Descriptionjava.class);
    startActivity(myIntent);
} else {
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Wrong pill name !! check out the       list",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   bt1.setEnabled(true);    
  }
}
