Perhaps, take a look at this. Its working for me.
The purpose of this is to lookup 'RED' with '/red_color'.
Declaring a static map and loading the enums into it only once would bring some performance benefits if the enums are many.
public class Mapper {
public enum Maps {
COLOR_RED("/red_color", "RED");
private final String code;
private final String description;
private static Map<String, String> mMap;
private Maps(String code, String description) {
this.code = code;
this.description = description;
}
public String getCode() {
return name();
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
public String getName() {
return name();
}
public static String getColorName(String uri) {
if (mMap == null) {
initializeMapping();
}
if (mMap.containsKey(uri)) {
return mMap.get(uri);
}
return null;
}
private static void initializeMapping() {
mMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
for (Maps s : Maps.values()) {
mMap.put(s.code, s.description);
}
}
}
}
Please put in your opinons.
