Message format on giving desired output

I am trying to replace the {0} in a String with a value. The code I have written for it is:

String formattedText = MessageFormat.format("'{0}'", "1");
System.out.println(formattedText);

It is giving the output as : {0}

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Include double single quote should work:

MessageFormat.format("''{0}''", "1");

Or

You can use String.format:

String.format("'%s'", "1");

        System.out.println(formattedText);

It must be like 

String formattedText = MessageFormat.format("{0}", "'1'");

Other wise '{}' is not considered to be a format place-holder.

You need to remove the single quotes from around the {0}. The format method sees that as a literal string.
