有很多方法可以转换第一个大写单词的第一个字母。我有个主意。这很简单:

public String capitalize(String str){

     /* The first thing we do is remove whitespace from string */
     String c = str.replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
     String s = c.trim();
     String l = "";

     for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
          if(i == 0){                              /* Uppercase the first letter in strings */
              l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i);
              i++;                                 /* To i = i + 1 because we don't need to add               
                                                    value i = 0 into string l */
          }

          l += s.charAt(i);

          if(s.charAt(i) == 32){                   /* If we meet whitespace (32 in ASCII Code is whitespace) */
              l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i+1);    /* Uppercase the letter after whitespace */
              i++;                                 /* Yo i = i + 1 because we don't need to add
                                                   value whitespace into string l */
          }        
     }
     return l;
}

  package com.test;

 /**

   * @description : Below is the test class details
   * 
   * inputs a String from a user. Expect the String to contain spaces and    alphanumeric     characters only.
   * capitalizes all first letters of the words in the given String.
   * preserves all other characters (including spaces) in the String.
   * displays the result to the user.
   * 
   * Approach : I have followed a simple approach. However there are many string    utilities available 
   * for the same purpose. Example : WordUtils.capitalize(str) (from apache commons-lang)

  import java.io.BufferedReader;

    InputStreamReader converter = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(converter);

    int length = inputString.length();
    StringBuffer newStr = new StringBuffer(0);
    int i = 0;
    int k = 0;
    /* This is a simple approach

     */

    while( i < length){
        if (Character.isLetter(inputString.charAt(i))){
            if ( k == 0){
            newStr = newStr.append(Character.toUpperCase(inputString.charAt(i)));
            k = 2;
            }//this else loop is to avoid repeatation of the first letter in output string 
            else {
            newStr = newStr.append(inputString.charAt(i));
            }
        } // for the letters which are not first letter, simply append to the output string. 
        else {
            newStr = newStr.append(inputString.charAt(i));
            k=0;
        }
        i+=1;           
    }
    System.out.println("new String ->"+newStr);
    }
}

对于那些在MVC中使用Velocity的人，你可以使用StringUtils类中的capitalizeFirstLetter()方法。

下面是这个问题的Kotlin版本:

fun capitalizeFirstLetterOfEveryWord(text: String): String
{
    if (text.isEmpty() || text.isBlank())
    {
        return ""
    }

    if (text.length == 1)
    {
        return Character.toUpperCase(text[0]).toString()
    }

    val textArray = text.split(" ")
    val stringBuilder = StringBuilder()

    for ((index, item) in textArray.withIndex())
    {
        // If item is empty string, continue to next item
        if (item.isEmpty())
        {
            continue
        }

        stringBuilder
            .append(Character.toUpperCase(item[0]))

        // If the item has only one character then continue to next item because we have already capitalized it.
        if (item.length == 1)
        {
            continue
        }

        for (i in 1 until item.length)
        {
            stringBuilder
                .append(Character.toLowerCase(item[i]))
        }

        if (index < textArray.lastIndex)
        {
            stringBuilder
                .append(" ")
        }
    }

    return stringBuilder.toString()
}

这是另一种表达方式:

private String capitalize(String line)
{
    StringTokenizer token =new StringTokenizer(line);
    String CapLine="";
    while(token.hasMoreTokens())
    {
        String tok = token.nextToken().toString();
        CapLine += Character.toUpperCase(tok.charAt(0))+ tok.substring(1)+" ";        
    }
    return CapLine.substring(0,CapLine.length()-1);
}

String s="hi dude i                                 want apple";
    s = s.replaceAll("\\s+"," ");
    String[] split = s.split(" ");
    s="";
    for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
        split[i]=Character.toUpperCase(split[i].charAt(0))+split[i].substring(1);
        s+=split[i]+" ";
        System.out.println(split[i]);
    }
    System.out.println(s);
