¿Existe una función integrada en Java que capitaliza el primer carácter de cada palabra en una cadena y no afecta a las demás?

Ejemplos:

• jon skeet -> Jon Skeet
• miles o'Brien-> Miles O'Brien(B sigue siendo capital, esto descarta el caso del título)
• old mcdonald-> Old Mcdonald*

* (también Old McDonaldsería encontrar, pero no espero que sea TAN inteligente).

Un vistazo rápido a la documentación de cadenas de Java solo revela toUpperCase()y toLowerCase(), por supuesto, no proporciona el comportamiento deseado. Naturalmente, los resultados de Google están dominados por esas dos funciones. Parece una rueda que ya debe haberse inventado, por lo que no estaría de más preguntar para poder usarla en el futuro.

WordUtils.capitalize(str)(de apache commons-text )

(Nota: si necesita "fOO BAr"convertirse "Foo Bar", use capitalizeFully(..)en su lugar)

Si solo le preocupa que la primera letra de la primera palabra esté en mayúscula:

private String capitalize(final String line) {
   return Character.toUpperCase(line.charAt(0)) + line.substring(1);
}

El siguiente método convierte todas las letras en mayúsculas / minúsculas, dependiendo de su posición cerca de un espacio u otros caracteres especiales.

public static String capitalizeString(String string) {
  char[] chars = string.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
  boolean found = false;
  for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
    if (!found && Character.isLetter(chars[i])) {
      chars[i] = Character.toUpperCase(chars[i]);
      found = true;
    } else if (Character.isWhitespace(chars[i]) || chars[i]=='.' || chars[i]=='\'') { // You can add other chars here
      found = false;
    }
  }
  return String.valueOf(chars);
}

Prueba esta manera muy simple

ejemplo givenString = "ram es buen chico"

public static String toTitleCase(String givenString) {
    String[] arr = givenString.split(" ");
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(arr[i].charAt(0)))
            .append(arr[i].substring(1)).append(" ");
    }          
    return sb.toString().trim();
}  

La salida será: Ram Is Good Boy

He escrito una pequeña clase para capitalizar todas las palabras en una cadena.

Opcional multiple delimiters, cada uno con su comportamiento (capitalizar antes, después o ambos, para manejar casos como O'Brian);

Opcional Locale;

No rompas con Surrogate Pairs.

Hice una solución en Java 8 que en mi humilde opinión es más legible.

public String firstLetterCapitalWithSingleSpace(final String words) {
    return Stream.of(words.trim().split("\\s"))
    .filter(word -> word.length() > 0)
    .map(word -> word.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + word.substring(1))
    .collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
}

La esencia de esta solución se puede encontrar aquí: https://gist.github.com/Hylke1982/166a792313c5e2df9d31

El uso lo org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtilshace muy simple.

capitalizeStr = StringUtils.capitalize(str);

Con este simple código :

String example="hello";

example=example.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()+example.substring(1, example.length());

System.out.println(example);

Resultado: Hola

Estoy usando la siguiente función. Creo que es más rápido en rendimiento.

public static String capitalize(String text){
    String c = (text != null)? text.trim() : "";
    String[] words = c.split(" ");
    String result = "";
    for(String w : words){
        result += (w.length() > 1? w.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase(Locale.US) + w.substring(1, w.length()).toLowerCase(Locale.US) : w) + " ";
    }
    return result.trim();
}

Desde Java 9+

puedes usar String::replaceAllasí:

public static void upperCaseAllFirstCharacter(String text) {
    String regex = "\\b(.)(.*?)\\b";
    String result = Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(text).replaceAll(
            matche -> matche.group(1).toUpperCase() + matche.group(2)
    );

    System.out.println(result);
}

Ejemplo:

upperCaseAllFirstCharacter("hello this is Just a test");

Salidas

Hello This Is Just A Test

Use el método Split para dividir su cadena en palabras, luego use las funciones de cadena incorporadas para capitalizar cada palabra, luego agregue juntas.

Pseudocódigo (ish)

string = "the sentence you want to apply caps to";
words = string.split(" ") 
string = ""
for(String w: words)

//This line is an easy way to capitalize a word
    word = word.toUpperCase().replace(word.substring(1), word.substring(1).toLowerCase())

    string += word

Al final, la cadena se parece a "La oración a la que desea aplicar mayúsculas"

Esto puede ser útil si necesita capitalizar títulos. Capitaliza cada subcadena delimitada por " ", excepto las cadenas especificadas como "a"o "the". No lo he ejecutado todavía porque es tarde, aunque debería estar bien. Utiliza Apache Commons StringUtils.join()en un punto. Puede sustituirlo con un bucle simple si lo desea.

private static String capitalize(String string) {
    if (string == null) return null;
    String[] wordArray = string.split(" "); // Split string to analyze word by word.
    int i = 0;
lowercase:
    for (String word : wordArray) {
        if (word != wordArray[0]) { // First word always in capital
            String [] lowercaseWords = {"a", "an", "as", "and", "although", "at", "because", "but", "by", "for", "in", "nor", "of", "on", "or", "so", "the", "to", "up", "yet"};
            for (String word2 : lowercaseWords) {
                if (word.equals(word2)) {
                    wordArray[i] = word;
                    i++;
                    continue lowercase;
                }
            }
        }
        char[] characterArray = word.toCharArray();
        characterArray[0] = Character.toTitleCase(characterArray[0]);
        wordArray[i] = new String(characterArray);
        i++;
    }
    return StringUtils.join(wordArray, " "); // Re-join string
}

public static String toTitleCase(String word){
    return Character.toUpperCase(word.charAt(0)) + word.substring(1);
}

public static void main(String[] args){
    String phrase = "this is to be title cased";
    String[] splitPhrase = phrase.split(" ");
    String result = "";

    for(String word: splitPhrase){
        result += toTitleCase(word) + " ";
    }
    System.out.println(result.trim());
}

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

System.out.println("Enter the sentence : ");

try
{
    String str = br.readLine();
    char[] str1 = new char[str.length()];

    for(int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
    {
        str1[i] = Character.toLowerCase(str.charAt(i));
    }

    str1[0] = Character.toUpperCase(str1[0]);
    for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
    {
        if(str1[i] == ' ')
        {                   
            str1[i+1] =  Character.toUpperCase(str1[i+1]);
        }
        System.out.print(str1[i]);
    }
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

Decidí agregar una solución más para poner en mayúscula las palabras en una cadena:

• las palabras se definen aquí como caracteres adyacentes de letras o dígitos;
• también se proporcionan pares sustitutos;
• el código ha sido optimizado para el rendimiento; y
• Todavía es compacto.

Función:

public static String capitalize(String string) {
  final int sl = string.length();
  final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(sl);
  boolean lod = false;
  for(int s = 0; s < sl; s++) {
    final int cp = string.codePointAt(s);
    sb.appendCodePoint(lod ? Character.toLowerCase(cp) : Character.toUpperCase(cp));
    lod = Character.isLetterOrDigit(cp);
    if(!Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp)) s++;
  }
  return sb.toString();
}

Llamada de ejemplo:

System.out.println(capitalize("An à la carte StRiNg. Surrogate pairs: 𐐪𐐪."));

Resultado:

An À La Carte String. Surrogate Pairs: 𐐂𐐪.

Utilizar:

    String text = "jon skeet, miles o'brien, old mcdonald";

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\b([a-z])([\\w]*)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
    StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
    while (matcher.find()) {
        matcher.appendReplacement(buffer, matcher.group(1).toUpperCase() + matcher.group(2));
    }
    String capitalized = matcher.appendTail(buffer).toString();
    System.out.println(capitalized);

Hay muchas maneras de convertir la primera letra de la primera palabra en mayúscula. Tengo una idea. Es muy simple:

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;
}

    }
    return result.trim();

Esta es solo otra forma de hacerlo:

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);
}

Método reutilizable para intiCap:

    public class YarlagaddaSireeshTest{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String FinalStringIs = "";
        String testNames = "sireesh yarlagadda test";

            char[] charArray = param.toCharArray(); 
            charArray[0] = Character.toUpperCase(charArray[0]); 
            return new String(charArray); 
        }
        else {
            return "";
        }
    }
}

Aquí está mi solución.

Me encontré con este problema esta noche y decidí buscarlo. Encontré una respuesta de Neelam Singh que casi estaba allí, así que decidí solucionar el problema (se rompió en cadenas vacías) y causé un bloqueo del sistema.

El método que está buscando se nombra a capString(String s)continuación. Convierte "Son solo las 5 am aquí" en "Son solo las 5 am aquí".

El código está bastante bien comentado, así que disfrútalo.

package com.lincolnwdaniel.interactivestory.model;

    public class StringS {

    /**
     * @param s is a string of any length, ideally only one word
     * @return a capitalized string.
     * only the first letter of the string is made to uppercase
     */
    public static String capSingleWord(String s) {
        if(s.isEmpty() || s.length()<2) {
            return Character.toUpperCase(s.charAt(0))+"";
        } 
        else {
            return Character.toUpperCase(s.charAt(0)) + s.substring(1);
        }
    }

    /**
     *
     * @param s is a string of any length
     * @return a title cased string.
     * All first letter of each word is made to uppercase
     */
    public static String capString(String s) {
        // Check if the string is empty, if it is, return it immediately
        if(s.isEmpty()){
            return s;
        }

        // Split string on space and create array of words
        String[] arr = s.split(" ");
        // Create a string buffer to hold the new capitalized string
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

        // Check if the array is empty (would be caused by the passage of s as an empty string [i.g "" or " "],
        // If it is, return the original string immediately
        if( arr.length < 1 ){
            return s;
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(arr[i].charAt(0)))
                    .append(arr[i].substring(1)).append(" ");
        }

        return str;
    }

    return Arrays.stream(str.split("\\s+"))
            .map(t -> t.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + t.substring(1))
            .collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
}

Ejemplos:

System.out.println(capitalizeAll("jon skeet")); // Jon Skeet
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("miles o'Brien")); // Miles O'Brien
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("old mcdonald")); // Old Mcdonald
System.out.println(capitalizeAll(null)); // null

Para foo bARque Foo Bar, reemplace el map()método con la siguiente:

.map(t -> t.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + t.substring(1).toLowerCase())

2. String.replaceAll()(Java 9+)

ublic static String capitalizeAll(String str) {
    if (str == null || str.isEmpty()) {
        return str;
    }

    return Pattern.compile("\\b(.)(.*?)\\b")
            .matcher(str)
            .replaceAll(match -> match.group(1).toUpperCase() + match.group(2));
}

Ejemplos:

System.out.println(capitalizeAll("12 ways to learn java")); // 12 Ways To Learn Java
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("i am atta")); // I Am Atta
System.out.println(capitalizeAll(null)); // null

3. Texto de Apache Commons

System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalize("love is everywhere")); // Love Is Everywhere
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalize("sky, sky, blue sky!")); // Sky, Sky, Blue Sky!
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalize(null)); // null

Por titulo:

System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalizeFully("fOO bAR")); // Foo Bar
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalizeFully("sKy is BLUE!")); // Sky Is Blue!

Para aquellos de ustedes que usan Velocity en su MVC, pueden usar el capitalizeFirstLetter()método de la clase StringUtils .

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);

La forma corta y precisa es la siguiente:

String name = "test";

name = (name.length() != 0) ?name.toString().toLowerCase().substring(0,1).toUpperCase().concat(name.substring(1)): name;

--------------------
Output
--------------------
Test
T 
empty
--------------------
