Utility method to convert Boolean into boolean and handle null in Java


Is there a utility method in Java which converts Boolean into boolean and automatically handles null reference to Boolean as false?


Solution

  • How about:

    boolean x = Boolean.TRUE.equals(value);
    

    ? That's a single expression, which will only evaluate to true if value is non-null and a true-representing Boolean reference.
