Answer 2

you can also simply do the following...

let say this is your current Stringbuffer

StringBuffer myStr = new StringBuffer( "Some texts" );
.........
//when you decide you want to empty it, simply type
myStr = new StringBuffer( );
// this will reconstruct the stringbuffer with no characters in it

Answer 3

Use the 'delete(int start, int end)' method like such.

yourStringBuffer = yourStringBuffer.delete(0, yourStringBuffer.length());

Answer 4

Can't you just set it to "null"?

Answer 5

sb.clear();
