Convert integer value to matching Java Enum

Question

I\'ve an enum like this:

public enum PcapLinkType {
  DLT_NULL(0)
  DLT_EN10MB(1)
  DLT_EN3MB(2),
  DLT_AX25(3),
  /*snip, 200 more enums, not always consecu         


        

Answer 1

As @MeBigFatGuy says, except you can make your static {...} block use a loop over the values() collection:

static {
    for (PcapLinkType type : PcapLinkType.values()) {
        intToTypeMap.put(type.getValue(), type);
    }
}
