Java: Check if enum contains a given string?

Question

Here\'s my problem - I\'m looking for (if it even exists) the enum equivalent of ArrayList.contains();.

Here\'s a sample of my code problem:

<         


        

Answer 1

I would just write,

Arrays.stream(Choice.values()).map(Enum::name).collect(Collectors.toList()).contains("a1");

Enum#equals only works with object compare.
