不管怎样，我一直在寻找一些可以填充的东西，然后我决定自己编写代码。它非常简洁，你可以很容易地从中推导出padLeft和padRight

    /**
     * Pads around a string, both left and right using pad as the template, aligning to the right or left as indicated.
     * @param a the string to pad on both left and right
     * @param pad the template to pad with, it can be of any size
     * @param width the fixed width to output
     * @param alignRight if true, when the input string is of odd length, adds an extra pad char to the left, so values are right aligned
     *                   otherwise add an extra pad char to the right. When the input is of even length no extra chars will be inserted
     * @return the input param a padded around.
     */
    public static String padAround(String a, String pad, int width, boolean alignRight) {
        if (pad.length() == 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Pad cannot be an empty string!");
        int delta = width - a.length();
        if (delta < 1)
            return a;
        int half = delta / 2;
        int remainder = delta % 2;
        String padding = pad.repeat(((half+remainder)/pad.length()+1)); // repeating the padding to occupy all possible space
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(width);
//        sb.append( padding.substring(0,half + (alignRight ? 0 : remainder)));
        sb.append(padding, 0, half + (alignRight ? 0 : remainder));
        sb.append(a);
//        sb.append( padding.substring(0,half + (alignRight ? remainder : 0)));
        sb.append(padding, 0, half + (alignRight ? remainder : 0));

        return sb.toString();
    }

虽然它应该是相当快的，它可能会受益于使用一些韵母在这里和那里。

概括一下Eko的答案(Java 11+):

public class StringUtils {
    public static String padLeft(String s, char fill, int padSize) {
        if (padSize < 0) {
            var err = "padSize must be >= 0 (was " + padSize + ")";
            throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(err);
        }

        int repeats = Math.max(0, padSize - s.length());
        return Character.toString(fill).repeat(repeats) + s;
    }

    public static String padRight(String s, char fill, int padSize) {
        if (padSize < 0) {
            var err = "padSize must be >= 0 (was " + padSize + ")";
            throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(err);
        }

        int repeats = Math.max(0, padSize - s.length());
        return s + Character.toString(fill).repeat(repeats);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(padLeft("", 'x', 5)); // => xxxxx
        System.out.println(padLeft("1", 'x', 5)); // => xxxx1
        System.out.println(padLeft("12", 'x', 5)); // => xxx12
        System.out.println(padLeft("123", 'x', 5)); // => xx123
        System.out.println(padLeft("1234", 'x', 5)); // => x1234
        System.out.println(padLeft("12345", 'x', 5)); // => 12345
        System.out.println(padLeft("123456", 'x', 5)); // => 123456

        System.out.println(padRight("", 'x', 5)); // => xxxxx
        System.out.println(padRight("1", 'x', 5)); // => 1xxxx
        System.out.println(padRight("12", 'x', 5)); // => 12xxx
        System.out.println(padRight("123", 'x', 5)); // => 123xx
        System.out.println(padRight("1234", 'x', 5)); // => 1234x
        System.out.println(padRight("12345", 'x', 5)); // => 12345
        System.out.println(padRight("123456", 'x', 5)); // => 123456

        System.out.println(padRight("1", 'x', -1)); // => throws
    }
}

Apache StringUtils有几个方法:leftPad, rightPad, center和repeat。

但是请注意，正如其他人在这个回答中提到和演示的那样，JDK中的String.format()和Formatter类是更好的选择。使用它们而不是公共代码。

s =字符串填充 n =期望长度 c = Char到pad

private String padStart( String s, int n, char c ){
    if( n <= 0 ) return s;
    else return String.format("%" + n + "s", s).replace(' ', c);
}

使用该函数。

private String leftPadding(String word, int length, char ch) {
   return (length > word.length()) ? leftPadding(ch + word, length, ch) : word;
}

如何使用?

leftPadding(month, 2, '0');

输出: 01 02 03 04 ..11日12

你可以通过保留填充数据来减少每次调用的开销，而不是每次都重新构建:

public class RightPadder {

    private int length;
    private String padding;

    public RightPadder(int length, String pad) {
        this.length = length;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(pad);
        while (sb.length() < length) {
            sb.append(sb);
        }
        padding = sb.toString();
   }

    public String pad(String s) {
        return (s.length() < length ? s + padding : s).substring(0, length);
    }

}

作为一种替代方法，您可以将结果长度作为pad(…)方法的参数。在这种情况下，在该方法中而不是在构造函数中调整隐藏填充。
