OR operator in switch-case?

Question

Let's take a simple switch-case that looks like:

@Override public void onClick(View v) {     switch (v.getId()) {         case R.id.someValue :         case R.id.someOtherValue:             // do stuff             break;     } } 

I wonder why it is not allowed to use the || operator? Like

switch (v.getId()) {     case R.id.someValue || R.id.someOtherValue:         // do stuff         break; } 

The switch-case construct is pretty similar to an if-else statement, you can use the OR operator in an if however. What are the backgrounds for a switch-case to not accept this operator?

Answer 1

dude do like this

    case R.id.someValue :     case R.id.someOtherValue :        //do stuff 

This is same as using OR operator between two values Because of this case operator isn't there in switch case
