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"

这并不漂亮，但很有效。如果你有apache commons，我建议你使用它

if (val.length() < 8) {
  for (int i = 0; i < val - 8; i++) {
    val = "0" + val;
  }
}

使用Apache Commons StringUtils。leftPad(或者查看代码来创建自己的函数)。

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);
}

有人尝试过这个纯Java解决方案吗(没有SpringUtils):

//decimal to hex string 1=> 01, 10=>0A,..
String.format("%1$2s", Integer.toString(1,16) ).replace(" ","0");
//reply to original question, string with leading zeros. 
//first generates a 10 char long string with leading spaces, and then spaces are
//replaced by a zero string. 
String.format("%1$10s", "mystring" ).replace(" ","0");

不幸的是，这个解决方案只有在字符串中没有空格时才有效。

public class LeadingZerosExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       int number = 1500;

       // String format below will add leading zeros (the %0 syntax) 
       // to the number above. 
       // The length of the formatted string will be 7 characters.

       String formatted = String.format("%07d", number);

       System.out.println("Number with leading zeros: " + formatted);
    }
}
