So I'm trying to load an Image
as part of the constants in an inner enum. Something like the following:
public enum State {
HAPPY, SAD;
private final Image image;
}
Currently, I have it loading from an external constant and a static initializer like so:
private static final Image HAPPY_IMAGE;
static {
Image happyImage = null;
try {
happyImage = ImageIO.read(new File("path/to/file.gif"));
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
LOGGER.fatal("Failed to load image.");
}
HAPPY_IMAGE = happyImage;
}
public enum State {
HAPPY (HAPPY_IMAGE);
private final Image image;
private State(Image image) {
this.image = image;
}
}
I don't want to use this approach, though, for two reasons. First, it's a bit more verbose than seems necessary. But more importantly, it creates a redundant constant. There's no reason to have HAPPY_IMAGE
when the image should be accessed via State.HAPPY.getImage()
.
The following is valid, but I can't assign a different value for each enum value.
public enum State {
HAPPY;
private final Image image;
{
Image image = null;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(new File("path/to/file.gif"));
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
LOGGER.fatal("Failed to load image.");
}
this.image = image;
}
}
So is there any way I can accomplish this loading of the enum's final
value?
An enum can have a constructor. So you can do the loading there.
public enum State {
HAPPY("path/image.gif");
private final Image image;
private State(String path)
{
this.image = ...
}
public Image getImage()
{
return image;
}
}
