Java using enum with switch statement
- by MisterSquonk
I've looked at various Q&As on SO similar to this question but haven't found a solution.
What I have is an enum which represents different ways to view a TV Guide...
static enum guideView {
GUIDE_VIEW_SEVEN_DAY,
GUIDE_VIEW_NOW_SHOWING,
GUIDE_VIEW_ALL_TIMESLOTS
}
...when the user changes the view an event handler receives an int from 0-2 and I'd like to do something like this...
// 'which' is an int from 0-2
switch (which) {
case NDroid.guideView.GUIDE_VIEW_SEVEN_DAY:
...
break;
}
I'm used to C# enums and select/case statements which would allow something like the above and I know Java does things differently but I just can't make sense of what I need to do.
Am I going to have to resort to if statements? There will likely only ever be 3 choices so I could do it but I wondered how it could be done with switch-case in Java.
