字符串首字母大写的更短/更快的版本代码是:

String name  = "stackoverflow"; 
name = name.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + name.substring(1).toLowerCase();

name的值为Stackoverflow

您可以使用以下代码:

public static String capitalizeString(String string) {

    if (string == null || string.trim().isEmpty()) {
        return string;
    }
    char c[] = string.trim().toLowerCase().toCharArray();
    c[0] = Character.toUpperCase(c[0]);

    return new String(c);

}

使用JUnit的示例测试:

@Test
public void capitalizeStringUpperCaseTest() {

    String string = "HELLO WORLD  ";

    string = capitalizeString(string);

    assertThat(string, is("Hello world"));
}

@Test
public void capitalizeStringLowerCaseTest() {

    String string = "hello world  ";

    string = capitalizeString(string);

    assertThat(string, is("Hello world"));
}

当前的答案要么是不正确的，要么是把这个简单的任务过于复杂了。在做了一些研究之后，我想到了以下两种方法:

1. 字符串的substring()方法

public static String capitalize(String str) {
    if(str== null || str.isEmpty()) {
        return str;
    }

    return str.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.substring(1);
}

例子:

System.out.println(capitalize("java")); // Java
System.out.println(capitalize("beTa")); // BeTa
System.out.println(capitalize(null)); // null

2. Apache Commons Lang

Apache Commons Lang库为此目的提供了StringUtils类:

System.out.println(StringUtils.capitalize("apache commons")); // Apache commons
System.out.println(StringUtils.capitalize("heLLO")); // HeLLO
System.out.println(StringUtils.uncapitalize(null)); // null

不要忘记在pom.xml文件中添加以下依赖项:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
    <version>3.9</version>
</dependency>

只是重做了Jorgesys代码，并添加了一些检查，因为很少有与字符串长度相关的情况。不要做空参考检查在我的情况下。

 public static String capitalizeFirstLetter(@NonNull String customText){
        int count = customText.length();
        if (count == 0) {
            return customText;
        }
        if (count == 1) {
            return customText.toUpperCase();
        }
        return customText.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + customText.substring(1).toLowerCase();
    }

你可以试试这个

/**
 * capitilizeFirst(null)  -> ""
 * capitilizeFirst("")    -> ""
 * capitilizeFirst("   ") -> ""
 * capitilizeFirst(" df") -> "Df"
 * capitilizeFirst("AS")  -> "As"
 *
 * @param str input string
 * @return String with the first letter capitalized
 */
public String capitilizeFirst(String str)
{
    // assumptions that input parameter is not null is legal, as we use this function in map chain
    Function<String, String> capFirst = (String s) -> {
        String result = ""; // <-- accumulator

        try { result += s.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase(); }
        catch (Throwable e) {}
        try { result += s.substring(1).toLowerCase(); }
        catch (Throwable e) {}

        return result;
    };

    return Optional.ofNullable(str)
            .map(String::trim)
            .map(capFirst)
            .orElse("");
}

试试这个

这个方法做的是，考虑单词“hello world”这个方法把它变成“hello world”每个单词的开头大写。

 private String capitalizer(String word){

        String[] words = word.split(" ");
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        if (words[0].length() > 0) {
            sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(words[0].charAt(0)) + words[0].subSequence(1, words[0].length()).toString().toLowerCase());
            for (int i = 1; i < words.length; i++) {
                sb.append(" ");
                sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(words[i].charAt(0)) + words[i].subSequence(1, words[i].length()).toString().toLowerCase());
            }
        }
        return  sb.toString();

    }
