In this article, we will understand with a Java program on how to check whether a String is empty or not in Java 1.8 version
Already in one of the previous article, we discussed how to check whether a String is empty or not using earlier versions of Java like 5 or 7, etc.
Check String is Empty:
- isEmpty() method of String
- Checks whether invoking String is empty or not
- Returns true, if invoking String is empty otherwise false
- If invoking string is null, then java.lang.NullPointerException is thrown
CheckStringIsEmpty.java
package in.bench.resources.java8.string.methods;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class CheckStringIsEmpty {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 1. string
String str1 = "Habibi, Come to Dubai";
// 1.1 checking string is empty
boolean bool1 = Stream.of(str1).anyMatch(s -> s.isEmpty());
System.out.println("Whether (" + str1 + ") is Empty = " + bool1);
// 2. Empty string
String str2 = "";
// 2.1 checking string is empty
boolean bool2 = Stream.of(str2).anyMatch(s -> s.isEmpty());
System.out.println("Whether (" + str2 + ") is Empty = " + bool2 + "\n\n");
// 3. null string
String str3 = null;
// 3.1 checking empty on null string
boolean bool3 = Stream.of(str3).anyMatch(s -> s.isEmpty());
System.out.println("Whether (" + str3 + ") is Empty = " + bool3);
}
}
Output:
Whether (Habibi, Come to Dubai) is Empty = false
Whether () is Empty = true
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke
"String.isEmpty()" because "s" is null
