Lookup Java enum by string value
Say I have an enum which is just
public enum Blah {
A, B, C, D
}
and I would like to find the enum value of a string, for example "A"
which would be Blah.A
. How would it be possible to do this?
Is the Enum.valueOf()
the method I need? If so, how would I use this?
Yes, Blah.valueOf("A")
will give you Blah.A
.
Note that the name must be an exact match, including case: Blah.valueOf("a")
and Blah.valueOf("A ")
both throw an IllegalArgumentException
.
The static methods valueOf()
and values()
are created at compile time and do not appear in source code. They do appear in Javadoc, though; for example, Dialog.ModalityType
shows both methods.
如果文本与枚举值不相同,则为另一种解决方案:
public enum Blah {
A("text1"),
B("text2"),
C("text3"),
D("text4");
private String text;
Blah(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public String getText() {
return this.text;
}
public static Blah fromString(String text) {
for (Blah b : Blah.values()) {
if (b.text.equalsIgnoreCase(text)) {
return b;
}
}
return null;
}
}
Here's a nifty utility I use:
/**
* A common method for all enums since they can't have another base class
* @param <T> Enum type
* @param c enum type. All enums must be all caps.
* @param string case insensitive
* @return corresponding enum, or null
*/
public static <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnumFromString(Class<T> c, String string) {
if( c != null && string != null ) {
try {
return Enum.valueOf(c, string.trim().toUpperCase());
} catch(IllegalArgumentException ex) {
}
}
return null;
}
Then in my enum class I usually have this to save some typing:
public static MyEnum fromString(String name) {
return getEnumFromString(MyEnum.class, name);
}
If your enums are not all caps, just change the Enum.valueOf
line.
Too bad I can't use T.class
for Enum.valueOf
as T
is erased.
