Helper class dealing with strings.
Author:Gunnar Morling
/** * Helper class dealing with strings. * * @author Gunnar Morling */

Joins the elements of the given array to a string, separated by the given separator string.
Params:
  • array – the array to join
  • separator – the separator string
Returns:a string made up of the string representations of the given array's members, separated by the given separator string

Joins the elements of the given iterable to a string, separated by the given separator string.
Params:
  • iterable – the iterable to join
  • separator – the separator string
Returns:a string made up of the string representations of the given iterable members, separated by the given separator string

Returns the given string, with its first letter changed to lower-case unless the string starts with more than one upper-case letter, in which case the string will be returned unaltered.

Provided to avoid a dependency on the Introspector API which is not available on the Android platform (HV-779).

Params:
  • string – the string to decapitalize

Returns:the given string, decapitalized. null is returned if null is passed as input; An empty string is returned if an empty string is passed as input
