Method

Stringtruncate(String source, int maxLength, String cutoffReplacement)
Makes a best efford to truncate a string into the desired length. 
if (source == null || source.length() <= maxLength)
    return source;
int cutoffLength = maxLength;
if (cutoffReplacement != null)
    cutoffLength -= cutoffReplacement.length();
if (cutoffLength <= 0) {
    if (cutoffReplacement != null)
        return cutoffReplacement;
...
Stringtruncate(String src, int maxChars, boolean addEllipses)
truncate 
if (src != null) {
    if (src.length() > maxChars) {
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(src.substring(0, maxChars));
        if (addEllipses && maxChars < src.length()) {
            result.append("...");
        return result.toString();
return src;
Stringtruncate(String str)
Shortens the given string if its length exceeds a fixed limit. 
if (str.length() > 32)
    return str.substring(0, 32) + "..."; 
return str;
Stringtruncate(String str, int byteLength)
truncate 
if (str == null) {
    return null;
if (str.length() == 0) {
    return str;
if (byteLength < 0) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Parameter byteLength must be great than 0");
...
Stringtruncate(String str, int chars)
truncate 
if (str == null)
    return str;
if (str.length() > chars) {
    return str.substring(0, chars - 3) + "...";

if (str.length() > length) {
    return str.substring(0, length);
return str;
Stringtruncate(String str, int length)
Truncate a String to a specified length 
if (str == null || length < 0)
    return str;
else
    return str.length() > length + 1 ? str.substring(0, length) : str;
Stringtruncate(String str, int length)
truncate 
if (length > str.length())
    return str;
char c;
int index = length;
while ((Character.isWhitespace(c = str.charAt(index)) == false) && (index > 0)) {
    index--;
if (index == 0)
...
Stringtruncate(String str, int length)
Truncates the given string so it is no longer than the given length, which must be at least three. 
assert length >= 3 : length;
length = length - 3;
if (str.length() <= length)
    return str;
else
    return str.substring(0, length) + "...";
