Answer 1

Try using Java 8 predicate test method

Here is a full example of it.

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.function.Predicate;
public class Test {
 public static final List VALUES = Arrays.asList("AA", "AB", "BC", "CD", "AE");

 public static void main(String args[]) {
  Predicate containsLetterA = VALUES -> VALUES.contains("AB");
  for (String i : VALUES) {

   System.out.println(containsLetterA.test(i));
  } 
 }
}
