I want to standardize what the user typed in edittext, placing the first letter of each word in upper case and the rest of the letter lower case. How do I do this?
The part that directs the variables in the model class
Contato c = new Contato();
c.setNome(etNome.getText().toString());
You can use a combination of toUpperCase() for the first letter and toLowerCase() so that the rest of the word is all tiny. Excluding this in one method, it looks like this:
public String toTitledCase(String str){
String[] words = str.split("\s");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++){
sb.append(words[i].substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + words[i].substring(1).toLowerCase());
sb.append(" ");
}
return sb.toString();
}
