如何将解析的字符串转换为枚举类型作为 java 中的参数

Question

I am new to java and practicing parsing csv file. Now, I've successfully parsed the file into columns, but I need to convert the string into the enum type as an argument.

The file is like this:

Profession //the header
boxer
nurse
doctor
 .
 .
 .

I have an enum type Profession :

enum {BOXER,NURSE,DOCTOR,UNKNOWN,...,...,...}

And I've parsed the data like this:

ArrayList<String> csvContents = new ArrayList<String>();

try (BufferedReader csvReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(csvFile));) {
        String headerLine = csvReader.readLine(); //get rid of the header

        while ((line = csvReader.readLine()) != null) { 
            csvContents.add(line);   
        }

        for (String csvLine : csvContents) {
            String[] data = csvLine.split("\\s*,\\s*"); // split by comma and remove redundant spaces
            String profession = data[0].toUpperCase(); // String type
            Person(Profession data[0], otherArgument); // need to be Profession enum type

    }

I've already known that I can get the value by doing this:

Profession.valueOf(data[0].toUpperCase);

But how can I convert this value into Profession enum type? Any help or hint is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Profession professionEnum = Profession.valueOf(data[0].toUpperCase);  

this will give you enum type which you pass to your method as below:

Person(professionEnum, otherArgument);
