Answer 1

You can do this in 2 steps:

1 - Make the first letter of the string uppercase.

2 - Insert an space before an uppercase letter which is preceded by a lowercase letter.

For step 1 you can use a function and for step 2 you can use String.replaceAll method:

String str = "removeProduct";
str = capitalizeFirst(str);
str = str.replaceAll("(?<=[^A-Z])([A-Z])"," $1");

static String capitalizeFirst(String input) {
      return input.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + input.substring(1);
}
