Modify the regex as:

String myString = "343DFDFD"; // "FDFS343434"
System.out.println(myString.matches("^.*[^a-zA-Z0-9 ].*$")); //  false coming

Use it:

public boolean isAlphanumeric(String str) {
        for (int i=0; i<str.length(); i++) {
            char c = str.charAt(i);
            if (!Character.isDigit(c) && !Character.isLetter(c))
                return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
