int largeNum = 0;
for(int i =0; i < your_array.length; i++){
   if(your_array[i] > largeNum){
      largeNum = your_array[i];
   }
}
//  At the end of this loop the variable
//  largeNum will hold the largest number in your_array.

You could also use 
largeNum = Math.max(your_array[i], largeNum);
instead of the if block.

In the if block solution proposed above, if all the numbers are less than 0, the program will output zero, which is not the desired answer.

Good point. Instantiate largeNum at the beginning to
Integer.MIN_VALUE;

int largeNum = Integer.MIN_VALUE;

Actually even better off, instantiate it to the first
Index in the array.
int largeNum = your_array[0];
//  Then the mentioned loop will take care of
//  the swaping...
