JavaSE--枚举类
参考:http://www.cnblogs.com/hyl8218/p/5088287.html
枚举类声明定义的类型是一个类,因此尽量不要构造新对象。
所有枚举类型都是 java.lang.Enum 类的子类,他们继承了这个类的许多方法。
枚举类型的每一个值都将映射到 protected Enum(String name, int ordinal)
构造函数中,在这里,每个值的名称都被转换成一个字符串,并且序数设置表示了此设置被创建的顺序。
1 /** 2 * Sole constructor. Programmers cannot invoke this constructor. 3 * It is for use by code emitted by the compiler in response to 4 * enum type declarations. 5 * 6 * @param name - The name of this enum constant, which is the identifier 7 * used to declare it. 8 * @param ordinal - The ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position 9 * in the enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned 10 * an ordinal of zero). 11 */ 12 protected Enum(String name, int ordinal) { 13 this.name = name; 14 this.ordinal = ordinal; 15 }
toString 方法能够返回枚举常量名。
1 /** 2 * Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the 3 * declaration. This method may be overridden, though it typically 4 * isn't necessary or desirable. An enum type should override this 5 * method when a more "programmer-friendly" string form exists. 6 * 7 * @return the name of this enum constant 8 */ 9 public String toString() { 10 return name; 11 }
在比较两个枚举类型的值时,永远不需要调用 equals,而直接使用 ==。

toString 的逆方法是静态方法 valueOf
1 public class Size2 { 2 3 public static void main(String[] args) { 4 A1Size enumEntity = Enum.valueOf(A1Size.class, "SMALL"); 5 } 6 7 } 8 9 enum A1Size { 10 11 SMALL("S"), MEDIM("M"), LARGER("L"), EXTRA_LARGE("XL"); 12 13 private String abbreviation; 14 15 private A1Size(String abbreviation) { 16 this.abbreviation = abbreviation; 17 } 18 19 public String getAbbreviation() { 20 return abbreviation; 21 } 22 23 }
每个枚举类型都有一个静态的 values 方法,他讲返回一个包含全部枚举值得数组。
ordinal 方法返回 enum 声明中枚举常量的位置,位置从 0 开始计数。
