Android

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...

How do you replace a part of a string with another string?

To replace one string with another string using Java Regular Expressions, we need to use the replaceAll() method. The replaceAll() method returns a String replacing all the character sequence matching the regular expression and String after replacement.

How do I remove part of a string?

You can also remove a specified character or substring from a string by calling the String. Replace(String, String) method and specifying an empty string (String. Empty) as the replacement. The following example removes all commas from a string.

How do you replace a specific character in a string?

Using 'str.replace() , we can replace a specific character. If we want to remove that specific character, replace that character with an empty string. The str. replace() method will replace all occurrences of the specific character mentioned.

It is working, but it wont modify the caller object, but returning a new String.
So you just need to assign it to a new String variable, or to itself:

string = string.replace("to", "xyz");

or

String newString = string.replace("to", "xyz");
