now i want to set values of ? as i set it in sql prepared statement st.setStingValue(1,"akshay"); // do we have something like this? St.setStringValue(2,"anjaaa");

Answer 1

You can use String.format

String st = "akkk %s la,ala %s "; 
String result = String.format(st, "First Val", "Second Val");

Alternatively, you can use numeric positions

String st = "akkk %1$s la,ala %2$s "; 
String result = String.format(st, "First Val", "Second Val");
