Method

Stringindent(String string, int indentSize, boolean initialLine)
indent Indent a String with line-breaks. 
String indent;
if (indentSize == 0) {
    indent = "\t";
} else {
    StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = 0; i < indentSize; i++) {
        s.append(' ');
    indent = s.toString();
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
if (initialLine) {
    result.append(indent);
for (int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) {
    char c = string.charAt(i);
    result.append(c);
    if (c == '\n') {
        result.append(indent);
return result.toString();
Stringindent(String string, int level, boolean indentFirst, int tabSize)
Split the given string on each newline or line return, then indent all lines by tabSize for each level. 
String indention = indention(level, tabSize);
String[] lines = string.split("\\r?\\n");
String answer = "";
for (int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
    String l = lines[i];
    if (i == 0) {
        if (indentFirst) {
            answer += indention + l;
...
voidindent(String symbol, StringBuffer res, int indent, boolean comma)
indent 
if (symbol.isEmpty()) {
    return;
for (int i = 0; i < indent; i++) {
    res.append("\t");
res.append(symbol);
if (comma) {

Stringindent(String text, String indentation, char indentationChar, int indentationLevel, int indentationSize, boolean requiresExtraIndentationOnFirstLine)
indent 
String result = text;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String[] lines = text.split("\n");
String theoricalIndentationText = lines[0].substring(0, indentationSize * indentationLevel);
if (requiresExtraIndentationOnFirstLine) {
    for (int i = 0; i < indentationSize; i++) {
        sb.append(indentationChar);
sb.append(lines[0].substring(indentationSize * indentationLevel));
for (int i = 1; i < lines.length; i++) {
    String line = lines[i];
    if (indentation.length() > 0) {
        line = line.replaceFirst(theoricalIndentationText, indentation);
    sb.append('\n').append(line);
if (text.endsWith("\n")) {
    sb.append('\n');
result = sb.toString();
return result;
Stringindent(String value, int spaces)
Indents all lines of the argument string by the specified number of spaces. 
if (spaces < 0)
    spaces = 0;
String indent = "";
for (int i = 0; i < spaces; i++) {
    indent += " ";

String output = "";
...
StringBufferindent(StringBuffer buffer, int depth)
indent 
if (depth <= 0) {
    return buffer;
for (int i = 0; i < depth; i++) {
    buffer.append("  ");
return buffer;
voidindent(StringBuffer sb, int indentLevel)
indent 
for (int i = 0; i < indentLevel; i++) {
    sb.append(INDENT_STRING);
voidindent(StringBuilder b, int i)
indent 
while (i-- > 0)
    b.append(" ");
StringBuilderindent(StringBuilder buffer, int d)
Appends the specified number of space charcter to a string buffer and returns it. 
for (int i = 0; i < d; i++) {
    buffer.append(' ');
return buffer;
StringBuilderindent(StringBuilder builder, int indent)
Adds indent to builder. 
while (0 < indent) {
    builder.append(INDENT);
    indent--;
return builder;
