I've had a look at the API, and I can't see another way to do it. I made a small mistake above - you can't tack .equals on the end of a char. Instead, get the first char using charAt and add it to a string, then return the result of the comparison.

This is very simple, so I have no qualms in giving you the code, but when you get to more complex things I'll just give you a push in the right direction.

Code:

public class CheckCharCase {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("" + getFirst("Hello"));	//true
		System.out.println("" + getFirst("hello"));	//false
		System.out.println("" + getSecond("Hello"));	//true
		System.out.println("" + getSecond("HEllo"));	//false
	}

	private static boolean getFirst(String s) {
		String str = "" + s.charAt(0);
			//get the first char of the string, put into a string
		return(str.equals(str.toUpperCase()));
			//compare and return
	}
	
	private static boolean getSecond(String s) {
		String str = "" + s.charAt(1);
		return(str.equals(str.toLowerCase()));		
	}
}
