Is there other method

Yes, probably hundreds. You method is a bit more than is needed.
It could depend on your app's requirements

String[] input = {"a", "-1", "3"};

      for (int i=0; i < input.length; i++) {
         try{
           int val = Integer.parseInt(input[i]);
           if (val < 1)
             System.out.println("not positive integer: " + input[i]);
           else
             System.out.println("postive integer: " + input[i]);
         }catch(Exception x) {
           System.out.println("invalid integer:" + input[i]);
         }
      } // end for(i) thru input strings
