I had tried java standard API but that is not working can please try following senario
–> System.out.println(replace(“this%s is the problem” , “%” , “\%”));

public static String replace(String str, String sub, String rep) {
        int s, p, q;
        int slen = sub.length();
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

        s = 0;
        p = str.indexOf(sub);
        q = p + slen;
        while (p != -1) {
            sb.append(str.substring(s, p));
            sb.append(rep);
            s = q;
            p = str.indexOf(sub, s);
            if (p != -1) {
                q = p + slen;
            }
        }
        sb.append(str.substring(s));
        return sb.toString();
    }

You can use the replaceAll method. You just need to be careful escaping the \ and % (although I don’t fully understand why you need four ‘\’s)!

String myString = "this%s is the problem";
myString = myString.replaceAll("%","\\\\%);
