Java enum : Refactoring switch statements 'constant expression required' compile error?

Question

I have a class declaring constants for my app

public class GroupConstants {
    ..
    public static final int INTEGER_VALUE = 1;
    public static final int         


        

Answer 1

Try getting rid of the GroupConstants. prefix in your case statements. For reasons completely unclear to me, it doesn't accept the same constant if it's prefixed with class name.

So instead of

 case GroupConstants.STRING_VALUE:

please try:

 case STRING_VALUE:

You might need a static import to make it compile.
