How to capitalize the first letter of text in a TextView in an Android Application

I'm not referring to textInput, either. I mean that once you have static text in a TextView (populated from a Database call to user inputted data (that may not be Capitalized)), how can I make sure they are capitalized?

Thanks!

Solution

  • I should be able to accomplish this through standard java string manipulation, nothing Android or TextView specific.

    Something like:

    String upperString = myString.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + myString.substring(1).toLowerCase();

    Although there are probably a million ways to accomplish this. See String documentation.

    EDITED I added the .toLowerCase()
