Look at `String`'s methods. Your question has the correct keyword. — Stefan Warminski, May 17 '17 at 11:30

The String java API has a method that does what you want. This method is contains(). Here is how to use it :

String str1 = "I love dogs and cats";
String str2 = "love dogs";

boolean isIn = str1.contains(str2); // isIn = true.
boolean isIn = str1.contains("love cats"); // isIn = false
