[Android.Runtime.Register("replace", "(CC)Ljava/lang/String;", "")]
public string Replace (char oldChar, char newChar);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("replace", "(CC)Ljava/lang/String;", "")>]
member this.Replace : char * char -> string

Parameters

oldChar

Char

the old character.

newChar

Char

the new character.

Returns

String

a string derived from this string by replacing every occurrence of oldChar with newChar.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Returns a string resulting from replacing all occurrences of oldChar in this string with newChar.

If the character oldChar does not occur in the character sequence represented by this String object, then a reference to this String object is returned. Otherwise, a String object is returned that represents a character sequence identical to the character sequence represented by this String object, except that every occurrence of oldChar is replaced by an occurrence of newChar.

Examples: <blockquote>

"mesquite in your cellar".replace('e', 'o')
                    returns "mosquito in your collar"
            "the war of baronets".replace('r', 'y')
                    returns "the way of bayonets"
            "sparring with a purple porpoise".replace('p', 't')
                    returns "starring with a turtle tortoise"
            "JonL".replace('q', 'x') returns "JonL" (no change)
