除了KLE这个优秀的答案，我们还可以做一些更灵活的事情:

boolean b = string.equalsIgnoreCase("true") || string.equalsIgnoreCase("t") || 
        string.equalsIgnoreCase("yes") || string.equalsIgnoreCase("y") || 
        string.equalsIgnoreCase("sure") || string.equalsIgnoreCase("aye") || 
        string.equalsIgnoreCase("oui") || string.equalsIgnoreCase("vrai");

(受到zlajo的回答启发……: -))

您可以直接设置布尔值等价于任何字符串的系统类 并访问它的任何地方..

System.setProperty("n","false");
System.setProperty("y","true");

System.setProperty("yes","true");     
System.setProperty("no","false");

System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("n"));   //false
System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("y"));   //true   
 System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("no"));  //false
System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("yes"));  //true

boolean status=false;
if (variable.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
   status=true;  
   }

仅当字符串为'true'(不区分大小写)时才支持。稍后您可以使用状态变量。

Boolean b = Boolean.valueOf(string);

如果字符串不是空值并且等于true(忽略大小写)，则b的值为true。

boolean b = string.equalsIgnoreCase("true");

使用Apache Commons库中的BooleanUtils类:

String[] values= new String[]{"y","Y","n","N","Yes","YES","yes","no","No","NO","true","false","True","False","TRUE","FALSE",null};
for(String booleanStr : values){
    System.out.println("Str ="+ booleanStr +": boolean =" +BooleanUtils.toBoolean(booleanStr));
}

结果:

Str =N: boolean =false
Str =Yes: boolean =true
Str =YES: boolean =true
Str =yes: boolean =true
Str =no: boolean =false
Str =No: boolean =false
Str =NO: boolean =false
Str =true: boolean =true
Str =false: boolean =false
Str =True: boolean =true
Str =False: boolean =false
Str =TRUE: boolean =true
Str =FALSE: boolean =false
Str =null: boolean =false
