Is it possible to search using each element in a array, to see if it
exists in another array?

I have two string arrays, one is hardcoded, the other one is parsed
from a XML file.

String[] arrayStrField = {"ClinicId","ClinicName",
"KmRangePostcode","Suburb","State","ClinicPostcode", "Doc",
"DateLastChanged", "AdditionalPostcodes", "ClinicStatus",
"ClinicURL"};

pXmlMsg.mArrField[i] = pXmlField.getElement(i).asString();

How would i search element by element in the mArrField to see if each
element exists as one of the elements in the arrayStrField?

ie ..

boolean activeField = checkFieldArray(arrayStrField,
xmlMess.mArrField);

private boolean checkFieldArray(String[] arrayStrCheck, String[]
arrayStrVar)
        {
                boolean b = false;
                
                // if (all arrStrVar[i] do exist in arrayStrCheck[]
                    {
                    b = true;
                    }
                
                
                return b;
        }

how would i go about doing this?
