Tuple Enum in Java

Question

I'm very new in Java and were wondering and didn't find anything about it.

Can you create enum tuple ?

public enum Status {OPEN : "1", CLOSED: "2", DELETED: "3"}

I will need to access both "OPEN" or "1"

Answer 1

You could always create a custom constructor for your enum..

public enum Status {


    OPEN("1"),
    CLOSED("2"),
    DELETED("3");

    private String code;

    public Status(String code) {
        this.code = code;
    }

    public String getCode() {
        return code;
    }
}

Then you can access with Status.OPEN.getCode(). This functions as an effective mapping between an enum type and a code value.
