I use this. Maybe not the most optimal way, but it works :)
     public static String capString(String inp)
      byte[] buf = inp.getBytes();
      // first character is between 'a' and 'z', substract 32 from it to capitalize the character
      if(buf[0] >= 97 && buf[0] <= 122)
       buf[0] -= 32;
      return new String(buf);
     }
