The fromString(String name) method is used to create a UUID from the string standard representation as described in the toString() method.
Following is the declaration for java.util.UUID.fromString() method.
public static UUID fromString(String name)
name − This is a string that specifies a UUID.
The method call returns a UUID with the specified value.
IllegalArgumentException − This exception is thrown if the name does not confirm to the string representation as described in toString().
The following example shows the usage of java.util.UUID.fromString()
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.*; public class UUIDDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // creating UUID UUID uid = UUID.fromString("38400000-8cf0-11bd-b23e-10b96e4ef00d"); // checking UUID value System.out.println("UUID value is: "+uid); } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
UUID value is: 38400000-8cf0-11bd-b23e-10b96e4ef00d
