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

在使用Boolean.valueOf(string)或Boolean.parseBoolean(string)时必须小心。这样做的原因是，如果String不等于“true”，方法总是返回false(这种情况会被忽略)。

例如:

Boolean.valueOf("YES") -> false

由于这种行为，我建议添加一些机制来确保应该转换为布尔值的字符串遵循指定的格式。

例如:

if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("true") || string.equalsIgnoreCase("false")) {
    Boolean.valueOf(string)
    // do something   
} else {
    // throw some exception
}

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");

使用Apache Commons库中的BooleanUtils类:

for(String booleanStr : values){
    System.out.println("Str ="+ booleanStr +": boolean =" +BooleanUtils.toBoolean(booleanStr));
}

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

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。

要获得String的布尔值，请尝试以下方法:

public boolean toBoolean(String s) {
    try {
        return Boolean.parseBoolean(s); // Successfully converted String to boolean
    } catch(Exception e) {
        return null; // There was some error, so return null.
    }
}

如果有错误，它将返回null。 例子:

toBoolean("true"); // Returns true
toBoolean("tr.u;e"); // Returns null
