public class LeadingZerosExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       int number = 1500;

       // String format below will add leading zeros (the %0 syntax) 
       // to the number above. 
       // The length of the formatted string will be 7 characters.

       String formatted = String.format("%07d", number);

       System.out.println("Number with leading zeros: " + formatted);
    }
}

你可能得处理edgecase。这是一个泛型方法。

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println(padCharacter("0",8,"hello"));
    }
    public static String padCharacter(String c, int num, String str){
        for(int i=0;i<=num-str.length()+1;i++){str = c+str;}
        return str;
    }
}

public class PaddingLeft {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input = "Apple";
        String result = "00000000" + input;
        int length = result.length();
        result = result.substring(length - 8, length);
        System.out.println(result);
    }
}

这是快速的，适用于任何长度。

public static String prefixZeros(String value, int len) {
    char[] t = new char[len];
    int l = value.length();
    int k = len-l;
    for(int i=0;i<k;i++) { t[i]='0'; }
    value.getChars(0, l, t, k);
    return new String(t);
}

public static String lpad(String str, int requiredLength, char padChar) {
    if (str.length() > requiredLength) {
        return str;
    } else {
        return new String(new char[requiredLength - str.length()]).replace('\0', padChar) + str;
    }
}

下面是我用于预填充字符串的简单的无api“可读脚本”版本。(简单，可读，可调)。

while(str.length() < desired_length)
  str = '0'+str;
