Constructor Summary
String()
          Initializes a newly created String object so that it represents an empty character sequence.
String(byte[] bytes)
          Construct a new String by converting the specified array of bytes using the platform's default character encoding.
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 character-encoding name or that use the platform's default encoding.
String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)
          Construct a new String by converting the specified subarray of bytes using the platform's default character encoding.
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 character-encoding name or that use the platform's default encoding.
String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length, String enc)
          Construct a new String by converting the specified subarray of bytes using the specified character encoding.
String(byte[] bytes, String enc)
          Construct a new String by converting the specified array of bytes using the specified character encoding.
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.

String Method:

          Concatenates the specified string to the end of this string.
static String copyValueOf(char[] data)
          Returns a String that is equivalent to the specified character array.
