Use regex, example:

import java.util.regex.*;

class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String hello = "HelloxxxHelloxxxHello"; //String you want to 'examine'
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("Hello"); //Pattern string you want to be matched
        Matcher  matcher = pattern.matcher(hello); 

        int count = 0;
        while (matcher.find())
            count++; //count any matched pattern

        System.out.println(count);    // prints how many pattern matched
    }
}
