using method in switch case statements

I was wondering if you could use methods such as 'contains()' in the case of a switch case. I am trying to make the following if statements into a switch case:

String sentence;
if(sentence.contains("abcd")){
// do command a
}
else if(sentence.contains("efgh")){
// do command b
}
else if(sentence.contains("ijkl")){
// do command c
}
else{
//do command d
}

Thank you very much for your help.
