Initialize a new object from class in Enum

Question

I have an Enum called Plugins:

public enum Plugins {

    ROTATING_LINE (plugin.rotatingline.RotatingLine.class),
    SNOW_SYSTEM (plugin.snow.SnowSystem.cla         


        

Answer 1

There are 2 ways:

1. use Enum.valueOf() static function, then cast it into your enum type.

   Enum v = Enum.valueOf(TheEnumClass, valueInString);
   

2. Use class.getEnumConstants() function to get the list of the enum constants, and loop this list and get.

   Plugins[] plugins = Plugins.class.getEnumConstants();
   for (Plugins plugin: plugins) {
       // use plugin.name() to get name and compare
   }
