As of now I\'m using this code to make my first letter in a string capital
String output = input.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + input.substring(1); <
String output = input.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + input.substring(1);
How about this:
String output = Character.toUpperCase(input.charAt(0)) + input.substring(1);
I can't think of anything cleaner without using external libraries, but this is definitely better than what you currently have.
