For a non-regular expression approach  you can check Character isWhitespace for each character   boolean containsWhitespace String s        for  int i   0  i  lt  s length      i            if  Character isWhitespace s charAt i                 return true                      return false           Which are the white spaces in Java    The documentation specifies what Java considers to be whitespace      public static boolean isWhitespace char ch       Determines if the specified character is white space according to Java  A character is a Java whitespace character if and only if it satisfies one of the following criteria          It is a Unicode space character  SPACE SEPARATOR  LINE SEPARATOR  or    PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR  but is not also a non-breaking space      u00A0        u2007     u202F      It is   u0009   HORIZONTAL TABULATION    It is   u000A   LINE FEED    It is   u000B   VERTICAL TABULATION    It is   u000C   FORM FEED    It is   u000D   CARRIAGE RETURN    It is   u001C   FILE SEPARATOR    It is   u001D   GROUP SEPARATOR    It is   u001E   RECORD SEPARATOR    It is   u001F   UNIT SEPARATOR

If you can use apache commons lang in your project  the easiest way would be just to use the method provided there   public static boolean containsWhitespace CharSequence seq    Check whether the given CharSequence contains any whitespace characters      Parameters   seq - the CharSequence to check  may be null         Returns   true if the CharSequence is not empty and contains at least 1 whitespace character    It handles empty and null parameters and provides the functionality at a central place
