Good day!
I have an interface which only implements one single method. I dont feel like making several class which all implement this one single method therefore I decided to use anonymous classes instead.
I use enums for certain static items, these enums have instances of my interface. However, when I try to make an anonymous class inside my enum constants my IDE (eclipse) literally tells me nothing (as if it is outside a code block).
My question is as follows: Can I use anonymous classes inside my enum constants?
If my text was unclear (Sorry im not english) please see the example below.
Code example
/**
* My Interface
*/
public interface IPotato {
public void eatPotato();
}
/**
* My enum class
*/
public enum PotatoEnum {
I_WANT_TO_EAT_POTATO(new IPotato() {
@Override
public void eatPotato() {
// Cant put code here.
} });
private IPotato _myAnonymousClass;
private PotatoEnum(IPotato anonymousClass){
this._myAnonymousClass = anonymousClass;
}
public IPotato getPotato(){
return _myAnonymousClass;
}
}
You could do that, it is a perfectly valid solution.
As a recommendation, make your enum implement your interface to make the code more readable:
public enum PotatoEnum implements IPotato{
I_WANT_TO_EAT_POTATO(){
@Override
public void eatPotato() {
// Cant put code here.
}},//more ENUMS ;
}
