Is there any predefined method stating whether a string contains HTML tags or characters in it?
486
test. bind(/(<([^>]+)>)/i); It will basically return true for strings containing a < followed by ANYTHING followed by > .
Use String contains() Method to Check if a String Contains Character. Java String's contains() method checks for a particular sequence of characters present within a string. This method returns true if the specified character sequence is present within the string, otherwise, it returns false .
Unlike most HTML parsers which generate tree structures, HTMLString generates a string of characters each with its own set of tags. This flat structure makes it easy to manipulate ranges (for example - text selected by a user) as each character is independent and doesn't rely on a hierarchical tag structure.
Either Use regular expression to search or identify the HTML tags in String.
boolean containsHTMLTag = stringHtml.matches(".*\\<[^>]+>.*");
Or as Tim suggested use Jsoup like below:-
String textOfHtmlString = Jsoup.parse(htmlString).text();
boolean containedHTMLTag = !textOfHtmlString.equals(htmlString);
