I have strings with some numbers and english words and I need to translate them to my mother tongue by finding them and replacing them by locallized version of this word. Do you know how to easily achieve replacing words in a string?
Thanks
Edit:
I have tried (part of a string "to" should be replaced by "xyz"):
string.replace("to", "xyz")
But it is not working...
You're doing only one mistake.
use replaceAll()
function over there.
e.g.
String str = "Hi";
String str1 = "hello";
str.replaceAll( str, str1 );

I noticed that you commented in 2011 but i thought i should post this answer anyway, in case anyone needs to "replace the original string" and runs into this answer ..
Im using a EditText as an example
// GIVE TARGET TEXT BOX A NAME
EditText textbox = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.your_textboxID);
// STRING TO REPLACE
String oldText = "hello"
String newText = "Hi";
String textBoxText = textbox.getText().toString();
// REPLACE STRINGS WITH RETURNED STRINGS
String returnedString = textBoxText.replace( oldText, newText );
// USE RETURNED STRINGS TO REPLACE NEW STRING INSIDE TEXTBOX
textbox.setText(returnedString);
This is untested, but it's just an example of using the returned string to replace the original layouts string with setText() !
Obviously this example requires that you have a EditText with the ID set to your_textboxID
MAY BE INTERESTING TO YOU:
In java, string objects are immutable. Immutable simply means unmodifiable or unchangeable.
Once string object is created its data or state can't be changed but a new string object is created.
In kotlin there is no replaceAll, so I created this loop to replace repeated values ??in a string or any variable.
var someValue = "https://www.google.com.br/"
while (someValue.contains(".")) {
someValue = someValue.replace(".", "")
}
Log.d("newValue :", someValue)
// in that case the stitches have been removed
//https://wwwgooglecombr/
String str = "to";
str.replace("to", "xyz");
Just try it :)
