Speaking of CharSequence: the TextUtils helper class has a lot of useful methods of working with CharSequence objects. You can basically do anything that you with String objects, such as equals(), contact(), indexOf(), etc. indexOf() is a replacement with startsWith(). Which is why I said you can use CharSequence 99% of the time in Android.
The only common methods I haven't found a replacement for are toLower() and toUpper().
