使用Apache Commons库中的BooleanUtils类:

String[] values= new String[]{"y","Y","n","N","Yes","YES","yes","no","No","NO","true","false","True","False","TRUE","FALSE",null};
for(String booleanStr : values){
    System.out.println("Str ="+ booleanStr +": boolean =" +BooleanUtils.toBoolean(booleanStr));
}

结果:

Str =N: boolean =false
Str =Yes: boolean =true
Str =YES: boolean =true
Str =yes: boolean =true
Str =no: boolean =false
Str =No: boolean =false
Str =NO: boolean =false
Str =true: boolean =true
Str =false: boolean =false
Str =True: boolean =true
Str =False: boolean =false
Str =TRUE: boolean =true
Str =FALSE: boolean =false
Str =null: boolean =false

您可以直接设置布尔值等价于任何字符串的系统类 并访问它的任何地方..

System.setProperty("n","false");
System.setProperty("y","true");

System.setProperty("yes","true");     
System.setProperty("no","false");

System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("n"));   //false
System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("y"));   //true   
 System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("no"));  //false
System.out.println(Boolean.getBoolean("yes"));  //true

使用Apache Commons库中的BooleanUtils类:

String[] values= new String[]{"y","Y","n","N","Yes","YES","yes","no","No","NO","true","false","True","False","TRUE","FALSE",null};
for(String booleanStr : values){
    System.out.println("Str ="+ booleanStr +": boolean =" +BooleanUtils.toBoolean(booleanStr));
}

结果:

Str =N: boolean =false
Str =Yes: boolean =true
Str =YES: boolean =true
Str =yes: boolean =true
Str =no: boolean =false
Str =No: boolean =false
Str =NO: boolean =false
Str =true: boolean =true
Str =false: boolean =false
Str =True: boolean =true
Str =False: boolean =false
Str =TRUE: boolean =true
Str =FALSE: boolean =false
Str =null: boolean =false

Boolean b = Boolean.valueOf(string);

如果字符串不是空值并且等于true(忽略大小写)，则b的值为true。

为什么不用正则表达式呢?

public static boolean toBoolean( String target )
{
    if( target == null ) return false;
    return target.matches( "(?i:^(1|true|yes|oui|vrai|y)$)" );
}

如果你的目标只是将这个字符串变量与“false”或“true”字符串进行比较，而不硬编码这两个值，就像我的情况一样，并且你不想使用Boolean.valueOf()，因为它将对它认为是“true”的任何东西返回true，并将对其他所有东西返回false，就像Brandon指出的那样，你可以执行以下操作。

if (someStringVariable.equals(Boolean.TRUE.toString())) {
...
}

或类似的,

if (someStringVariable.equals(Boolean.FALSE.toString())) {
...
}
