Parse whitespaces from String value to HTTP url standard

Question

How can I get a parse String of city name without whitespaces (on the start and at the end) and with "%20" instead of " " (which contains some city names) in android.

For example I would like to parse:

" Oklahoma " -> "Oklahoma"

or

"    Oklahoma    City" -> "Oklahoma%20City"

"Oklahoma [space][space]City" Output: Oklahoma%20%20City ... should be " Oklahoma City".replaceAll("\\s+", " ").trim()

For me Leonid's code works fine. I get from geocode API what I need! But thanks you too.
