Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages

Syntax 1
public String()
Description
Allocates a new String containing no characters.



Syntax 2
public String( String value )
Parameters
value
a String.
Description
Allocates a new string that contains the same sequence of characters as the string argument.



Syntax 3
public String( char value[] )
Parameters
value
the initial value of the string.
Description
Allocates a new String so that it represents the sequence of characters currently contained in the character array argument.



Syntax 4
public String( char value[], int offset, int count )
Parameters
value
array that is the source of characters.
offset
the initial offset.
count
the length.
Description
Allocates a new String that contains characters from a subarray of the character array argument. The offset argument is the index of the first character of the subarray and the count argument specifies the length of the subarray.

Exceptions
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if the offset and count arguments index characters outside the bounds of the value array.



Syntax 5
public String( byte ascii[], int hibyte, int offset, int count )
Parameters
ascii
the bytes to be converted to characters.
hibyte
the top 8 bits of each 16-bit Unicode character.
offset
the initial offset.
count
the length.
Description
Note: String() is deprecated. This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String constructors that take a character-encoding name or that use the platform's default encoding.

Allocates a new String constructed from a subarray of an array of 8-bit integer values.

The offset argument is the index of the first byte of the subarray, and the count argument specifies the length of the subarray.

Each byte in the subarray is converted to a char as specified in the method above.

Exceptions
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if the offset or count argument is invalid.

Syntax 6
public String( byte ascii[], int hibyte )
Parameters
ascii
the bytes to be converted to characters.
hibyte
the top 8 bits of each 16-bit Unicode character.
Description
Note: String() is deprecated. This method does not properly convert bytes into characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the String constructors that take a character-encoding name or that use the platform's default encoding.

Allocates a new String containing characters constructed from an array of 8-bit integer values. Each character cin the resulting string is constructed from the corresponding component b in the byte array such that: 

     c == (char)(((hibyte & 0xff) << 8)
                         | (b & 0xff))

Syntax 7
public String( byte bytes[], int offset, int length, String enc ) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
Parameters
bytes
The bytes to be converted into characters
offset
Index of the first byte to convert
length
Number of bytes to convert
enc
The name of a character encoding
Description
Construct a new String by converting the specified subarray of bytes using the specified character encoding. The length of the new String is a function of the encoding, and hence may not be equal to the length of the subarray.

Exceptions
UnsupportedEncodingException If the named encoding is not supported



Syntax 8
public String( byte bytes[], String enc ) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
Parameters
bytes
The bytes to be converted into characters
enc
A character-encoding name
Description
Construct a new String by converting the specified array of bytes using the specified character encoding. The length of the new String is a function of the encoding, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.

Exceptions
UnsupportedEncodingException If the named encoding is not supported



Syntax 9
public String( byte bytes[], int offset, int length )
Parameters
bytes
The bytes to be converted into characters
offset
Index of the first byte to convert
length
Number of bytes to convert
Description
Construct a new String by converting the specified subarray of bytes using the platform's default character encoding. The length of the new String is a function of the encoding, and hence may not be equal to the length of the subarray.



Syntax 10
public String( byte bytes[] )
Parameters
bytes
The bytes to be converted into characters
Description
Construct a new String by converting the specified array of bytes using the platform's default character encoding. The length of the new String is a function of the encoding, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.



Syntax 11
public String( StringBuffer buffer )
Parameters
buffer
a StringBuffer.
Description
Allocates a new string that contains the sequence of characters currently contained in the string buffer argument.
