java枚举字符串吗,Java：检查枚举是否包含给定的字符串？

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:

enum choices {a1, a2, b1, b2};

if(choices.???(a1)}{

//do this

}

Now, I realize that an ArrayList of Strings would be the better route here but I have to run my enum contents through a switch/case elsewhere. Hence my problem.

Assuming something like this doesn't exist, how could I go about doing it?

Thanks!

This should do it:

public static boolean contains(String test) {

for (Choice c : Choice.values()) {

if (c.name().equals(test)) {

return true;

}

}

return false;

}

This way means you do not have to worry about adding additional enum values later, they are all checked.

Edit: If the enum is very large you could stick the values in a HashSet:

public static HashSet getEnums() {

HashSet values = new HashSet();

for (Choice c : Choice.values()) {

values.add(c.name());

}

return values;

}

Then you can just do: values.contains("your string") which returns true or false.
