Count of of characters matched in sequence of two string

I want to match two string and get how many chars matched in sequence. Like :

String one="ABCDEFGHIJK";
String two="ZANDEFGHOPQ";

like you can see that it must return 5 chars in sequence matched because DEFGH are exist on both sequence.

Thanks

I know it is a rather old question, but perhaps someone will find this "if-less" answer a nice one. One can shorten it a bit further by replacing len in the loop by its definition.

public class TestClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String one = "ABCDEFGHIJK";
        String two = "ZANDEFGHOPQ";
        int len = Math.min(one.length(), two.length());
        int counter = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            counter += (one.charAt(i) == two.charAt(i)) ? 1 : 0;
        }
        System.out.println(counter);
    }
}

Maybe something like this will do it.

String one="ABCDEFGHIJK";
String two="ZANDEFGHOPQ";
int counter = 0;

// Iterate over the string character by character - stop when reaching the
// end of the shortest string
for( int i=0; i<one.length() && i<two.length(); i++ ) {
    // Compare the strings character at the current position/index
    if(one.charAt(i) == two.charAt(i)) {
        // The characters matched so increment the counter
        counter++;
    } 
}

try this

String one="ABCDEFGHIJK";
String two="ZANDEFGHOPQ";
int cnt=0;
   for (int i=0;i<one.length();i++){
       for (int j=0;j<two.length();j++){
            if(one.charAt(i) == two.charAt(j) ){
                cnt++;
            }
        }
    }

Toast.makeText(this, "count"+cnt, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String one="ABCDEFGHIJK";
    String two="ZANDEFGHOPQ";
    int size1 = one.length();
    int size2 = two.length();
    int i = 0;
    int j = (size1 >= size2 ? size2 : size1);
    char[] oneTab = one.toCharArray();
    char[] twoTab = two.toCharArray();
    int k = 0;
    for(i = 0; i< j; i++){
        if((String.valueOf(oneTab[i])).equals(String.valueOf(twoTab[i]))){
            k = k+1;
        };
    };
    System.out.println(k);
