我在Java 8中编写了一个更具可读性的解决方案。

public String firstLetterCapitalWithSingleSpace(final String words) {
    return Stream.of(words.trim().split("\\s"))
    .filter(word -> word.length() > 0)
    .map(word -> word.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + word.substring(1))
    .collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
}

这个解决方案的要点可以在这里找到:https://gist.github.com/Hylke1982/166a792313c5e2df9d31

有很多方法可以转换第一个大写单词的第一个字母。我有个主意。这很简单:

public String capitalize(String str){

     /* The first thing we do is remove whitespace from string */
     String c = str.replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
     String s = c.trim();
     String l = "";

     for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
          if(i == 0){                              /* Uppercase the first letter in strings */
              l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i);
              i++;                                 /* To i = i + 1 because we don't need to add               
                                                    value i = 0 into string l */
          }

          l += s.charAt(i);

          if(s.charAt(i) == 32){                   /* If we meet whitespace (32 in ASCII Code is whitespace) */
              l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i+1);    /* Uppercase the letter after whitespace */
              i++;                                 /* Yo i = i + 1 because we don't need to add
                                                   value whitespace into string l */
          }        
     }
     return l;
}

如果你只担心第一个单词的首字母大写:

private String capitalize(final String line) {
   return Character.toUpperCase(line.charAt(0)) + line.substring(1);
}

Use:

    String text = "jon skeet, miles o'brien, old mcdonald";

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\b([a-z])([\\w]*)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
    StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
    while (matcher.find()) {
        matcher.appendReplacement(buffer, matcher.group(1).toUpperCase() + matcher.group(2));
    }
    String capitalized = matcher.appendTail(buffer).toString();
    System.out.println(capitalized);

最基本和最简单的理解方法(我认为):

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ToUpperCase {
    static Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);

    public static String capitalize(String str){
        /* Changes 1st letter of every word 
           in a string to upper case
         */
        String[] ss = str.split(" ");
        StringBuilder[] sb = new StringBuilder[ss.length];
        StringBuilder capped = new StringBuilder("");
        str = "";

        // Capitalise letters
        for (int i = 0; i < ss.length; i++){
            sb[i] = new StringBuilder(ss[i]); // Construct and assign
            str += Character.toUpperCase(ss[i].charAt(0)); // Only caps
            //======================================================//

            // Replace 1st letters with cap letters
            sb[i].setCharAt(0, str.charAt(i)); 
            capped.append(sb[i].toString() + " ");  // Formatting
        }
        return capped.toString();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println(capitalize(kb.nextLine()));
    }
}

如果你需要大写标题，这可能很有用。它将每个由" "分隔的子字符串大写，除了"a"或"the"之类的指定字符串。我还没有运行它，因为已经晚了，不过应该没问题。一次使用Apache Commons StringUtils.join()。如果你愿意，你可以用一个简单的循环来代替它。

private static String capitalize(String string) {
    if (string == null) return null;
    String[] wordArray = string.split(" "); // Split string to analyze word by word.
    int i = 0;
lowercase:
    for (String word : wordArray) {
        if (word != wordArray[0]) { // First word always in capital
            String [] lowercaseWords = {"a", "an", "as", "and", "although", "at", "because", "but", "by", "for", "in", "nor", "of", "on", "or", "so", "the", "to", "up", "yet"};
            for (String word2 : lowercaseWords) {
                if (word.equals(word2)) {
                    wordArray[i] = word;
                    i++;
                    continue lowercase;
                }
            }
        }
        char[] characterArray = word.toCharArray();
        characterArray[0] = Character.toTitleCase(characterArray[0]);
        wordArray[i] = new String(characterArray);
        i++;
    }
    return StringUtils.join(wordArray, " "); // Re-join string
}
