枚举非常有用。我一直在使用Enum为不同语言的某些字段添加描述，如以下示例：

public enum Status {

    ACT(new String[] { "Accepted", "مقبول" }),
    REJ(new String[] { "Rejected", "مرفوض" }),
    PND(new String[] { "Pending", "في الانتظار" }),
    ERR(new String[] { "Error", "خطأ" }),
    SNT(new String[] { "Sent", "أرسلت" });

    private String[] status;

    public String getDescription(String lang) {
        return lang.equals("en") ? status[0] : status[1];
    }

    Status(String[] status) {
        this.status = status;
    }
}

然后，您可以根据传递给getDescription（Stringlang）方法的语言代码动态检索描述，例如：

String statusDescription = Status.valueOf("ACT").getDescription("en");

public enum ToggleStatusUpdate {
    OFF("off", 1),
    ON("on", 2);
    
    private final String name;
    private final int position;
    
    private ToggleStatusUpdate(String name, int position) {
        this.name = name;
        this.position = position;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public int getPosition() {
        return position;
    }
    
    public static int getPositionForName(String name) {
        for(ToggleStatusUpdate toggleStatusUpdate : ToggleStatusUpdate.values()) {
            if (toggleStatusUpdate.getName().equals(name)) {
                return toggleStatusUpdate.getPosition();
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(ToggleStatusUpdate.getPositionForName("off"));
    }
}

Use:

public enum MyEnum {
    FIRST,
    SECOND,
    THIRD;

    public static Optional<MyEnum> fromString(String value) {
        try {
            return Optional.of(MyEnum.valueOf(value));
        }catch(Exception e) {
            return Optional.empty();
        }
    }
}

下面是我使用的一个漂亮的实用程序：

/**
 * A common method for all enums since they can't have another base class
 * @param <T> Enum type
 * @param c enum type. All enums must be all caps.
 * @param string case insensitive
 * @return corresponding enum, or null
 */
public static <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnumFromString(Class<T> c, String string) {
    if( c != null && string != null ) {
        try {
            return Enum.valueOf(c, string.trim().toUpperCase());
        } catch(IllegalArgumentException ex) {
        }
    }
    return null;
}

然后在我的enum类中，我通常使用这个来保存一些类型：

public static MyEnum fromString(String name) {
    return getEnumFromString(MyEnum.class, name);
}

如果枚举不是全部大写，只需更改Enum.valueOf行。

太糟糕了，因为t被删除，我不能对Enum.valueOf使用t.class。

这里有一个使用Guava库的解决方案。方法getPlanet（）不区分大小写，因此getPlanet“MerCUrY”将返回Planet.MerCUrY。

package com.universe.solarsystem.planets;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
import com.google.common.base.Enums;
import com.google.common.base.Optional;

//Pluto and Eris are dwarf planets, who cares!
public enum Planet {
   MERCURY,
   VENUS,
   EARTH,
   MARS,
   JUPITER,
   SATURN,
   URANUS,
   NEPTUNE;

   public static Planet getPlanet(String name) {
      String val = StringUtils.trimToEmpty(name).toUpperCase();
      Optional <Planet> possible = Enums.getIfPresent(Planet.class, val);
      if (!possible.isPresent()) {
         throw new IllegalArgumentException(val + "? There is no such planet!");
      }
      return possible.get();
   }
}

一种O（1）方法，灵感来自Thrift生成的代码，该代码使用哈希图。

public enum USER {
        STUDENT("jon",0),TEACHER("tom",1);

        private static final Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();

        static {
                for (USER user : EnumSet.allOf(USER.class)) {
                        map.put(user.getTypeName(), user.getIndex());
                }
        }

        public static int findIndexByTypeName(String typeName) {
                return map.get(typeName);
        }

        private USER(String typeName,int index){
                this.typeName = typeName;
                this.index = index;
        }
        private String typeName;
        private int index;
        public String getTypeName() {
                return typeName;
        }
        public void setTypeName(String typeName) {
                this.typeName = typeName;
        }
        public int getIndex() {
                return index;
        }
        public void setIndex(int index) {
                this.index = index;
        }

}
