| <DL> |
| <DD>Converts all of the characters in this <code>String</code> to lower |
| case using the rules of the default locale. This is equivalent to calling |
| <code>toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault())</code>. |
| <p> |
| <b>Note:</b> This method is locale sensitive, and may produce unexpected |
| results if used for strings that are intended to be interpreted locale |
| independently. |
| Examples are programming language identifiers, protocol keys, and HTML |
| tags. |
| For instance, <code>"TITLE".toLowerCase()</code> in a Turkish locale |
| returns <code>"t?tle"</code>, where '?' is the LATIN SMALL |
| LETTER DOTLESS I character. |
| To obtain correct results for locale insensitive strings, use |
| <code>toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH)</code>. |
