Question

I am using this code, to get the index of a String in an Array.

int n = Arrays.asList(Names).indexOf(textBox.getText());

The problem here is, if the String in textBox is different in case to its similar String in the Array. It returns -1. How can make it something like equalsIgnoreCase in case of String comparision.

Thank You

A different approach where internally make sure ignore case.

public static int indexOfIgnoreCase(String[] strs, String text){

   int n = strs.length;
   for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
       if(strs[i].equalsIgnoreCase(text))
         return i;
   }
   return -1;
}
int n = indexOfIgnoreCase(Names,textBox.getText());
