String tgt="THIS IS A TEST";
StringBuffer s=new StringBuffer(tgt.toLowerCase());
boolean raise=true;
for(int i=0; i<s.length(); ++i)
{ if(raise && !Character.isSpace(s.charAt(i)))
{ s.setCharAt(i,Character.toUpperCase(s.charAt(i)));
raise=false;
}
else if(!raise && Character.isSpace(s.charAt(i)))
{ raise=true;
}
}
String ns=new String(s);

That was from https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/10235434/Converting-Strings-to-Title-case.html

There is also a class in the Apache Commons libraries to do this... TextUtils class I think (but I can't be 100% sure)
