使用Guava的Strings实用程序类:

Strings.padStart("Apple", 8, '0');

我喜欢用零填充字符串的解决方案

String.format("%1$" + length + "s", inputString).replace(' ', '0');

with length = "8" and inputString = "Apple"

public class PaddingLeft {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input = "Apple";
        String result = "00000000" + input;
        int length = result.length();
        result = result.substring(length - 8, length);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String stringForTest = "Apple";
    int requiredLengthAfterPadding = 8;
    int inputStringLengh = stringForTest.length();
    int diff = requiredLengthAfterPadding - inputStringLengh;
    if (inputStringLengh < requiredLengthAfterPadding)
    {
        stringForTest = new String(new char[diff]).replace("\0", "0")+ stringForTest;
    }
    System.out.println(stringForTest);
}

如果你想用纯Java编写程序，你可以遵循下面的方法，或者有很多String Utils可以帮助你更好地使用更高级的功能。

使用一个简单的静态方法可以实现如下所示。

public static String addLeadingText(int length, String pad, String value) {
    String text = value;
    for (int x = 0; x < length - value.length(); x++) text = pad + text;
    return text;
}

你可以使用上面的方法addLeadingText(长度，填充文本，你的文本)

addLeadingText(8, "0", "Apple");

输出是000Apple

public static String lpad(String str, int requiredLength, char padChar) {
    if (str.length() > requiredLength) {
        return str;
    } else {
        return new String(new char[requiredLength - str.length()]).replace('\0', padChar) + str;
    }
}
