    Use Boolean.valueOf(String string) to archieve your goal.

    boolean boolFlag = Boolean.valueOf(strFlag);

    Returns a Boolean with a value represented by the specified String. The Boolean returned represents the value true if the string argument is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string “true”.

    Example: Boolean.valueOf("True") returns true.

    Example: Boolean.valueOf("yes") returns false.

    As of java 1.5 there’s also Boolean.parseBoolean(String s) which returns the primitive type boolean instead of the boxed type Boolean to spare some CPU cycles in most cases.
