Checking whether a String contains a number value in Java [closed]

by 
if(str.matches(".*\\d.*")){
   // contains a number
} else{
   // does not contain a number
}

Previous suggested solution, which does not work, but brought back because of @Eng.Fouad’s request/suggestion.

Not working suggested solution

String strWithNumber = "This string has a 1 number";
String strWithoutNumber = "This string does not have a number";

System.out.println(strWithNumber.contains("\d"));
System.out.println(strWithoutNumber.contains("\d"));

Working solution

String strWithNumber = "This string has a 1 number";
if(strWithNumber.matches(".*\\d.*")){
    System.out.println("'"+strWithNumber+"' contains digit");
} else{
    System.out.println("'"+strWithNumber+"' does not contain a digit");
}

String strWithoutNumber = "This string does not have a number";
if(strWithoutNumber.matches(".*\\d.*")){
    System.out.println("'"+strWithoutNumber+"' contains digit");
} else{
    System.out.println("'"+strWithoutNumber+"' does not contain a digit");
}

Output

'This string has a 1 number' contains digit
'This string does not have a number' does not contain a digit
