Java方法命名约定

Question

I have a boolean field called showLabels in a Bean class, and I want to provide getter and setter methods for it. The setter will be setShowLabels , but should the getter be isShowingLabels , isShowLabels (that's really weird sounding), or setShowLabels ?

Answer 1

It should be isShowLabels weird as that may sound, that's the convention . You could always rename the boolean to showingLabels .
