Pra quem duvida, eis a implementação dos métodos contains e indexOf:
/**
* Returns true if and only if this string contains the specified
* sequence of char values.
*
* @param s the sequence to search for
* @return true if this string contains <code>s</code>, false otherwise
* @throws NullPointerException if <code>s</code> is <code>null</code>
* @since 1.5
*/

}
/**
* Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the
* specified substring. The integer returned is the smallest value
* <i>k</i> such that:
* <blockquote><pre>
* this.startsWith(str, <i>k</i>)
* </pre></blockquote>
* is <code>true</code>.
*
* @param str any string.
* @return if the string argument occurs as a substring within this
* object, then the index of the first character of the first
* such substring is returned; if it does not occur as a
* substring, <code>-1</code> is returned.
*/

Finalmente, aqui está o for escondido:
