I want to pass a static list through an interface.
So that I can execute the following code.
updateSingleItem(new InformationListModule(getNameByUUID(uid), value));
I am looking for the cleanest way to create a static list where I can output the name based on an ID. I want to pass this list to different classes.
How can I create a static list with which I can execute the command "getNameByUUID(uid)".
Maybe someone can tell me what is the cleanest solution and give a small example.
would be glad.
Vielen Lieben dank.
I have now implemented it this way.
public abstract class BluetoothUUIDs {
/* UUID SERVICES */
public static final HashMap<String, String> BLE_SERVICE_UUID_NAME;
public static final HashMap <String, String> BLE_SERVICE_UUID_TYPE;
/* UUID ATTRIBUTES */
...
{
/* UUID SERVICES TO NAME */
BLE_SERVICE_UUID_NAME = new HashMap<>();
.....
BLE_SERVICE_UUID_TYPE.put("1800","org.bluetooth.service.generic_access");
...
I don't know if it's the best, but it's a way.
You could consider using an EnumMap.
import java.util.EnumMap;
public enum UUIDs {
UUID_1("1800", "org.bluetooth.service.generic_access"),
// additional UUID‘s..
private final String uuid;
private final String name;
UUIDs(String uuid, String name) {
this.uuid = uuid;
this.name = name;
}
public String getUuid() {
return uuid;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
private static final EnumMap<UUIDs, String> uuidToName = new EnumMap<>(UUIDs.class);
private static final EnumMap<UUIDs, String> uuidToType = new EnumMap<>(UUIDs.class);
static {
for (UUIDs uuid : UUIDs.values()) {
uuidToName.put(uuid, uuid.getName());
uuidToType.put(uuid, uuid.getUuid());
}
}
public static String getNameByUuid(String uuid) {
for (UUIDs u : UUIDs.values()) {
if (u.getUuid().equals(uuid)) {
return u.getName();
}
}
return null;
}
public static String getUuidByName(String name) {
for (UUIDs u : UUIDs.values()) {
if (u.getName().equals(name)) {
return u.getUuid();
}
}
return null;
}
}
You can access the EnumMap in other classes by calling the methods getNameByUuid and getUuidByName.
String name = UUIDs.getNameByUuid("1800");
String uuid = UUIDs.getUuidByName("org.bluetooth.service.generic_access");
This is a suggestion you could try/use.
I have non-generic parent class.
public class FilterCondition {
private String key;
private String value;
private String condition;
}
And I have a generic subclass.
public class FilterJoinCondition<P,S> extends FilterCondition {
public FilterJoinCondition(String key, String value, String condition) {
super(key, value, condition);
}
private Class primaryEntity;
private Class secondaryEntity;
private String mappedBy;
}
I store all the FilterCondition in a List and pass to a method where I need the types passed to the FilterJoinCondition
if (condition instanceof FilterJoinCondition) {
FilterJoinCondition<P,S> joinCondition = (FilterJoinCondition) condition;
}
I know this is not correct (above code).
How could I cast FilterCondition without knowing the types (P,S) ?
You can just use the ? placeholder. Obviously you won't be able to do things with the new joinCondition, that requires knowledge of the specific Types. But all the general stuff you can do just fine.
public class FilterJoinCondition<P,S> extends FilterCondition {
private Class primaryEntity;
private Class secondaryEntity;
private String mappedBy;
public FilterJoinCondition(String key, String value, String condition) {
super(key, value, condition);
}
public void doStuff(P param) {
System.out.println(param.getClass());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
FilterCondition condition = new FilterJoinCondition<>("foo", "bar", "baz");
if (condition instanceof FilterJoinCondition) {
FilterJoinCondition<?,?> joinCondition = (FilterJoinCondition) condition;
joinCondition.doStuff(new String()); //illegal, you do not know P!
}
}
}
I'm trying to retrieving a value depending on the enum value.
Basically, let's say I have the following enum:
private enum Auth{
KEY, PASSWORD, MAIL;
public String get(){
return "";
}
}
By doing Auth.KEY.get() it would return "mykey", while Auth.MAIL.get() would return "mymail"
I googled a bit but I couldn't find an answer, I didn't try anything before because I totally hadn't an idea on how I could start.
Just add a field and constructor, as explained in the java-docs
Example code:
enum Auth {
KEY("myKey"), PASSWORD("myPass"), MAIL("myMail");
private final String identifier;
Auth(String identifier) {
this.identifier = identifier;
}
public String get(){
return identifier;
}
}
Also note, that there is name() and toString() which may be useful: see also java-enum-why-use-tostring-instead-of-name
Although I strongly advise not to use the following mechanism for getting something simple like a hardcoded String from an enum value and rather use it for associating particular behavior like in java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit, this is how it can be achieved:
private enum Auth {
KEY {
public String get() {
return "mykey";
}
},
PASSWORD {
public String get() {
return "mypassword";
}
},
MAIL {
public String get() {
return "mymail";
}
};
public abstract String get();
}
enum Auth{
private enum Auth{
String value;
KEY("mykey"), PASSWORD("mypassword"), MAIL(mymail");
Auth(String value){
thia.value=value;
}
public String get(){
return value;
}
}
You need to have a string which holds the name of of enum and a constructor which sets it. Then get method returns the name as below.
private enum Auth{
KEY, PASSWORD, MAIL;
string name;
public Auth(string nm) {
name = nm;
}
public String get(){
return name;
}
}
I want to create an enum class, lets say:
public enum runtimeStatus {
STATUS1("passed"),
STATUS2("failed"),
STATUS3("notrun");
private String status;
private runtimeStatus(String statusCode) {
status = statusCode;
}
public String getStatus() {
return status;
}
}
Okay, I'm accesing those properties with runtimeStatus.STATUS1.getStatus();
But how can I accomplish to pass a boolean to that call, so I get a different output. Lets say for STATUS1 if passed boolean is TRUE to return "passed" if its FALSE to return "passed-type2"
Check the below way. We can define as many number of fields in enum and have logics in enum methods.
public enum runtimeStatus
{
STATUS1("passed", "passedType2"),
STATUS2("failed", "failedType2"),
STATUS3("notrun", "notRunType2");
private String statusTrue;
private String statusFalse;
private runtimeStatus(String statusTrueCode, String statusFalseCode)
{
this.statusTrue = statusTrueCode;
this.statusFalse = statusFalseCode;
}
public String getStatus(boolean value)
{
return (value == true) ? statusTrue : statusFalse;
}
}
Overload your getStatus method.
public String getStatus(boolean statusType) {
if (statusType) {
return getStatus();
}
return "passed-type2";
}
public String getStatus() {
return status;
}
Add following method to Your existing enum :
public String getStatus(boolean passed) {
if(passed) {
return STATUS1.getStatus();
}else {
return STATUS2.getStatus();
}
}
When working with variables/parameters that can only take a finite number of values, I try to always use Java's enum, as in
public enum BonusType {
MONTHLY, YEARLY, ONE_OFF
}
As long as I stay inside my code, that works fine. However, I often need to interface with other code that uses plain int (or String) values for the same purpose, or I need to read/write from/to a database where the data is stored as a number or string.
In that case, I'd like to have a convenient way to associate each enum value with a an integer, such that I can convert both ways (in other words, I need a "reversible enum").
Going from enum to int is easy:
public enum BonusType {
public final int id;
BonusType(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
MONTHLY(1), YEARLY(2), ONE_OFF(3);
}
Then I can access the int value as BonusType x = MONTHLY; int id = x.id;.
However, I can see no nice way for the reverse, i.e. going from int to enum. Ideally, something like
BonusType bt = BonusType.getById(2);
The only solutions I could come up with are:
Put a lookup method into the enum, which uses BonusType.values() to fill a map "int -> enum", then caches that and uses it for lookups. Would work, but I'd have to copy this method identically into each enum I use :-(.
Put the lookup method into a static utility class. Then I'd only need one "lookup" method, but I'd have to fiddle with reflection to get it to work for an arbitrary enum.
Both methods seem terribly awkward for such a simple (?) problem.
Any other ideas/insights?
enum → int
yourEnum.ordinal()
int → enum
EnumType.values()[someInt]
String → enum
EnumType.valueOf(yourString)
enum → String
yourEnum.name()
A side-note:As you correctly point out, the ordinal() may be "unstable" from version to version. This is the exact reason why I always store constants as strings in my databases. (Actually, when using MySql, I store them as MySql enums!)
http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/Issue113.html
The solution starts out similar to yours with an int value as part of the enum definition. He then goes on to create a generics-based lookup utility:
public class ReverseEnumMap<V extends Enum<V> & EnumConverter> {
private Map<Byte, V> map = new HashMap<Byte, V>();
public ReverseEnumMap(Class<V> valueType) {
for (V v : valueType.getEnumConstants()) {
map.put(v.convert(), v);
}
}
public V get(byte num) {
return map.get(num);
}
}
This solution is nice and doesn't require 'fiddling with reflection' because it's based on the fact that all enum types implicitly inherit the Enum interface.
I found this on the web, it was very helpful and simple to implement.
This solution was NOT made by me
http://www.ajaxonomy.com/2007/java/making-the-most-of-java-50-enum-tricks
public enum Status {
WAITING(0),
READY(1),
SKIPPED(-1),
COMPLETED(5);
private static final Map<Integer,Status> lookup
= new HashMap<Integer,Status>();
static {
for(Status s : EnumSet.allOf(Status.class))
lookup.put(s.getCode(), s);
}
private int code;
private Status(int code) {
this.code = code;
}
public int getCode() { return code; }
public static Status get(int code) {
return lookup.get(code);
}
}
Seems the answer(s) to this question are outdated with the release of Java 8.
Don't use ordinal as ordinal is unstable if persisted outside the
JVM such as a database.
It is relatively easy to create a static map
with the key values.
public enum AccessLevel {
PRIVATE("private", 0),
PUBLIC("public", 1),
DEFAULT("default", 2);
AccessLevel(final String name, final int value) {
this.name = name;
this.value = value;
}
private final String name;
private final int value;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
static final Map<String, AccessLevel> names = Arrays.stream(AccessLevel.values())
.collect(Collectors.toMap(AccessLevel::getName, Function.identity()));
static final Map<Integer, AccessLevel> values = Arrays.stream(AccessLevel.values())
.collect(Collectors.toMap(AccessLevel::getValue, Function.identity()));
public static AccessLevel fromName(final String name) {
return names.get(name);
}
public static AccessLevel fromValue(final int value) {
return values.get(value);
}
}
org.apache.commons.lang.enums.ValuedEnum;
To save me writing loads of boilerplate code or duplicating code for each Enum, I used Apache Commons Lang's ValuedEnum instead.
Definition:
public class NRPEPacketType extends ValuedEnum {
public static final NRPEPacketType TYPE_QUERY = new NRPEPacketType( "TYPE_QUERY", 1);
public static final NRPEPacketType TYPE_RESPONSE = new NRPEPacketType( "TYPE_RESPONSE", 2);
protected NRPEPacketType(String name, int value) {
super(name, value);
}
}
Usage:
int -> ValuedEnum:
NRPEPacketType packetType =
(NRPEPacketType) EnumUtils.getEnum(NRPEPacketType.class, 1);
You could perhaps use something like
interface EnumWithId {
public int getId();
}
enum Foo implements EnumWithId {
...
}
That would reduce the need for reflection in your utility class.
In this code, for permanent and intense search , have memory or process for use, and I select memory, with converter array as index.
I hope it's helpful
public enum Test{
VALUE_ONE(101, "Im value one"),
VALUE_TWO(215, "Im value two");
private final int number;
private final byte[] desc;
private final static int[] converter = new int[216];
static{
Test[] st = values();
for(int i=0;i<st.length;i++){
cv[st[i].number]=i;
}
}
Test(int value, byte[] description) {
this.number = value;
this.desc = description;
}
public int value() {
return this.number;
}
public byte[] description(){
return this.desc;
}
public static String description(int value) {
return values()[converter[rps]].desc;
}
public static Test fromValue(int value){
return values()[converter[rps]];
}
}
Use an interface to show it who's boss.
public interface SleskeEnum {
int id();
SleskeEnum[] getValues();
}
public enum BonusType implements SleskeEnum {
MONTHLY(1), YEARLY(2), ONE_OFF(3);
public final int id;
BonusType(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public SleskeEnum[] getValues() {
return values();
}
public int id() { return id; }
}
public class Utils {
public static SleskeEnum getById(SleskeEnum type, int id) {
for(SleskeEnum t : type.getValues())
if(t.id() == id) return t;
throw new IllegalArgumentException("BonusType does not accept id " + id);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
BonusType shouldBeMonthly = (BonusType)getById(BonusType.MONTHLY,1);
System.out.println(shouldBeMonthly == BonusType.MONTHLY);
BonusType shouldBeMonthly2 = (BonusType)getById(BonusType.MONTHLY,1);
System.out.println(shouldBeMonthly2 == BonusType.YEARLY);
BonusType shouldBeYearly = (BonusType)getById(BonusType.MONTHLY,2);
System.out.println(shouldBeYearly == BonusType.YEARLY);
BonusType shouldBeOneOff = (BonusType)getById(BonusType.MONTHLY,3);
System.out.println(shouldBeOneOff == BonusType.ONE_OFF);
BonusType shouldException = (BonusType)getById(BonusType.MONTHLY,4);
}
}
And the result:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents>java Utils
true
false
true
true
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: BonusType does not accept id 4
at Utils.getById(Utils.java:6)
at Utils.main(Utils.java:23)
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents>
Both the .ordinal() and values()[i] are unstable since they are dependent to the order of enums. Thus if you change the order of enums or add/delete some your program would break.
Here is a simple yet effective method to map between enum and int.
public enum Action {
ROTATE_RIGHT(0), ROTATE_LEFT(1), RIGHT(2), LEFT(3), UP(4), DOWN(5);
public final int id;
Action(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public static Action get(int id){
for (Action a: Action.values()) {
if (a.id == id)
return a;
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid id");
}
}
Applying it for strings shouldn't be difficult.
A very clean usage example of reverse Enum
Step 1
Define an interface EnumConverter
public interface EnumConverter <E extends Enum<E> & EnumConverter<E>> {
public String convert();
E convert(String pKey);
}
Step 2
Create a class name ReverseEnumMap
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class ReverseEnumMap<V extends Enum<V> & EnumConverter<V>> {
private Map<String, V> map = new HashMap<String, V>();
public ReverseEnumMap(Class<V> valueType) {
for (V v : valueType.getEnumConstants()) {
map.put(v.convert(), v);
}
}
public V get(String pKey) {
return map.get(pKey);
}
}
Step 3
Go to you Enum class and implement it with EnumConverter<ContentType> and of course override interface methods. You also need to initialize a static ReverseEnumMap.
public enum ContentType implements EnumConverter<ContentType> {
VIDEO("Video"), GAME("Game"), TEST("Test"), IMAGE("Image");
private static ReverseEnumMap<ContentType> map = new ReverseEnumMap<ContentType>(ContentType.class);
private final String mName;
ContentType(String pName) {
this.mName = pName;
}
String value() {
return this.mName;
}
#Override
public String convert() {
return this.mName;
}
#Override
public ContentType convert(String pKey) {
return map.get(pKey);
}
}
Step 4
Now create a Communication class file and call it's new method to convert an Enum to String and String to Enum. I have just put main method for explanation purpose.
public class Communication<E extends Enum<E> & EnumConverter<E>> {
private final E enumSample;
public Communication(E enumSample) {
this.enumSample = enumSample;
}
public String resolveEnumToStringValue(E e) {
return e.convert();
}
public E resolveStringEnumConstant(String pName) {
return enumSample.convert(pName);
}
//Should not put main method here... just for explanation purpose.
public static void main(String... are) {
Communication<ContentType> comm = new Communication<ContentType>(ContentType.GAME);
comm.resolveEnumToStringValue(ContentType.GAME); //return Game
comm.resolveStringEnumConstant("Game"); //return GAME (Enum)
}
}

I'm not sure if it's the same in Java, but enum types in C are automatically mapped to integers as well so you can use either the type or integer to access it. Have you tried simply accessing it with integer yet?
Really great question :-) I used solution similar to Mr.Ferguson`s sometime ago. Our decompiled enum looks like this:
final class BonusType extends Enum
{
private BonusType(String s, int i, int id)
{
super(s, i);
this.id = id;
}
public static BonusType[] values()
{
BonusType abonustype[];
int i;
BonusType abonustype1[];
System.arraycopy(abonustype = ENUM$VALUES, 0, abonustype1 = new BonusType[i = abonustype.length], 0, i);
return abonustype1;
}
public static BonusType valueOf(String s)
{
return (BonusType)Enum.valueOf(BonusType, s);
}
public static final BonusType MONTHLY;
public static final BonusType YEARLY;
public static final BonusType ONE_OFF;
public final int id;
private static final BonusType ENUM$VALUES[];
static
{
MONTHLY = new BonusType("MONTHLY", 0, 1);
YEARLY = new BonusType("YEARLY", 1, 2);
ONE_OFF = new BonusType("ONE_OFF", 2, 3);
ENUM$VALUES = (new BonusType[] {
MONTHLY, YEARLY, ONE_OFF
});
}
}
Seeing this is apparent why ordinal() is unstable. It is the i in super(s, i);. I'm also pessimistic that you can think of a more elegant solution than these you already enumerated. After all enums are classes as any final classes.
For the sake of completeness, here is a generic approach to retrieve enum values by index from any enum type. My intention was to make the method look and feel like Enum.valueOf(Class, String). Fyi, i copied this method from here.
Index related issues (already discussed in depth here) still apply.
/**
* Returns the {#link Enum} instance for a given ordinal.
* This method is the index based alternative
* to {#link Enum#valueOf(Class, String)}, which
* requires the name of an instance.
*
* #param <E> the enum type
* #param type the enum class object
* #param ordinal the index of the enum instance
* #throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if ordinal < 0 || ordinal >= enums.length
* #return the enum instance with the given ordinal
*/
public static <E extends Enum<E>> E valueOf(Class<E> type, int ordinal) {
Preconditions.checkNotNull(type, "Type");
final E[] enums = type.getEnumConstants();
Preconditions.checkElementIndex(ordinal, enums.length, "ordinal");
return enums[ordinal];
}
Int -->String :
public enum Country {
US("US",0),
UK("UK",2),
DE("DE",1);
private static Map<Integer, String> domainToCountryMapping;
private String country;
private int domain;
private Country(String country,int domain){
this.country=country.toUpperCase();
this.domain=domain;
}
public String getCountry(){
return country;
}
public static String getCountry(String domain) {
if (domainToCountryMapping == null) {
initMapping();
}
if(domainToCountryMapping.get(domain)!=null){
return domainToCountryMapping.get(domain);
}else{
return "US";
}
}
private static void initMapping() {
domainToCountryMapping = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
for (Country s : values()) {
domainToCountryMapping.put(s.domain, s.country);
}
}
I needed something different because I wanted to use a generic approach. I'm reading the enum to and from byte arrays. This is where I come up with:
public interface EnumConverter {
public Number convert();
}
public class ByteArrayConverter {
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static Enum<?> convertToEnum(byte[] values, Class<?> fieldType, NumberSystem numberSystem) throws InvalidDataException {
if (values == null || values.length == 0) {
final String message = "The values parameter must contain the value";
throw new IllegalArgumentException(message);
}
if (!dtoFieldType.isEnum()) {
final String message = "dtoFieldType must be an Enum.";
throw new IllegalArgumentException(message);
}
if (!EnumConverter.class.isAssignableFrom(fieldType)) {
final String message = "fieldType must implement the EnumConverter interface.";
throw new IllegalArgumentException(message);
}
Enum<?> result = null;
Integer enumValue = (Integer) convertToType(values, Integer.class, numberSystem); // Our enum's use Integer or Byte for the value field.
for (Object enumConstant : fieldType.getEnumConstants()) {
Number ev = ((EnumConverter) enumConstant).convert();
if (enumValue.equals(ev)) {
result = (Enum<?>) enumConstant;
break;
}
}
if (result == null) {
throw new EnumConstantNotPresentException((Class<? extends Enum>) fieldType, enumValue.toString());
}
return result;
}
public static byte[] convertEnumToBytes(Enum<?> value, int requiredLength, NumberSystem numberSystem) throws InvalidDataException {
if (!(value instanceof EnumConverter)) {
final String message = "dtoFieldType must implement the EnumConverter interface.";
throw new IllegalArgumentException(message);
}
Number enumValue = ((EnumConverter) value).convert();
byte[] result = convertToBytes(enumValue, requiredLength, numberSystem);
return result;
}
public static Object convertToType(byte[] values, Class<?> type, NumberSystem numberSystem) throws InvalidDataException {
// some logic to convert the byte array supplied by the values param to an Object.
}
public static byte[] convertToBytes(Object value, int requiredLength, NumberSystem numberSystem) throws InvalidDataException {
// some logic to convert the Object supplied by the'value' param to a byte array.
}
}
Example of enum's:
public enum EnumIntegerMock implements EnumConverter {
VALUE0(0), VALUE1(1), VALUE2(2);
private final int value;
private EnumIntegerMock(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
public Integer convert() {
return value;
}
}
public enum EnumByteMock implements EnumConverter {
VALUE0(0), VALUE1(1), VALUE2(2);
private final byte value;
private EnumByteMock(int value) {
this.value = (byte) value;
}
public Byte convert() {
return value;
}
}
Just because the accepted answer is not self contained:
Support code:
public interface EnumWithCode<E extends Enum<E> & EnumWithCode<E>> {
public Integer getCode();
E fromCode(Integer code);
}
public class EnumWithCodeMap<V extends Enum<V> & EnumWithCode<V>> {
private final HashMap<Integer, V> _map = new HashMap<Integer, V>();
public EnumWithCodeMap(Class<V> valueType) {
for( V v : valueType.getEnumConstants() )
_map.put(v.getCode(), v);
}
public V get(Integer num) {
return _map.get(num);
}
}
Example of use:
public enum State implements EnumWithCode<State> {
NOT_STARTED(0), STARTED(1), ENDED(2);
private static final EnumWithCodeMap<State> map = new EnumWithCodeMap<State>(
State.class);
private final int code;
private State(int code) {
this.code = code;
}
#Override
public Integer getCode() {
return code;
}
#Override
public State fromCode(Integer code) {
return map.get(code);
}
}
given:
public enum BonusType {
MONTHLY(0), YEARLY(1), ONE_OFF(2)
}
BonusType bonus = YEARLY;
System.out.println(bonus.Ordinal() + ":" + bonus)
Output:
1:YEARLY
If you have a class Car
public class Car {
private Color externalColor;
}
And the property Color is a class
#Data
public class Color {
private Integer id;
private String name;
}
And you want to convert Color to an Enum
public class CarDTO {
private ColorEnum externalColor;
}
Simply add a method in Color class to convert Color in ColorEnum
#Data
public class Color {
private Integer id;
private String name;
public ColorEnum getEnum(){
ColorEnum.getById(id);
}
}
and inside ColorEnum implements the method getById()
public enum ColorEnum {
...
public static ColorEnum getById(int id) {
for(ColorEnum e : values()) {
if(e.id==id)
return e;
}
}
}
Now you can use a classMap
private MapperFactory factory = new DefaultMapperFactory.Builder().build();
...
factory.classMap(Car.class, CarDTO.class)
.fieldAToB("externalColor.enum","externalColor")
.byDefault()
.register();
...
CarDTO dto = mapper.map(car, CarDTO.class);
