String Constructors in Java

Strings are almost unavoidable in any kind of application. The String class in Java provides a number of ways for creating instances of String class. This includes the overloaded constructors, de-serialization and string literals. Here we will see all the overloaded constructors which are present in the String class in Java:



String()
Initializes a newly created String object so that it represents an empty character sequence.

String(byte[] bytes)
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the platform's default charset.

String(byte[] ascii, int hibyte)
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 charset name or that use the platform's default charset.

String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified subarray of bytes using the platform's default charset.

String(byte[] ascii, int hibyte, int offset, int count)
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 charset name or that use the platform's default charset.

String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length, String charsetName)
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified subarray of bytes using the specified charset.

String(byte[] bytes, String charsetName)
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the specified charset.

String(char[] value)
Allocates a new String so that it represents the sequence of characters currently contained in the character array argument.

String(char[] value, int offset, int count)
Allocates a new String that contains characters from a subarray of the character array argument.

String(String original)
Initializes a newly created String object so that it represents the same sequence of characters as the argument; in other words, the newly created string is a copy of the argument string.

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