• android - how replace part of string string? 5 answers

i'm using pattern string this

url = "http://mywebsite.com:1700/[lang]/service/?customerid=[customerid]"; 

i'm using code replace parameters.

url.replace("[lang]", languagename); 

also tryied :

url.replace("\\[lang\\]", languagename); 

but not worked.

java strings immutable. replace() returns new string , need capture it:

url = url.replace("[lang]", languagename);
