How can I get a list of all elements of a public inner enum?

Question

Given this class:

public class Outer {

  public enum Day {
      SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
  }

}

I tried new Outer().Day.values(); and new Outer().Day.getEnumConstants(); but I'm getting Day cannot be resolved or is not a field

Any idea how I could access it?

Answer 1

You can access is as follows: Outer.Day.values(); The enum Day is publicly accessible just like a static variable would be.

Answer 2

I ran your code using IDEONE and here is my solution (adapt it to your needs):

public enum Day {
      SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
  }
    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
    {
        Day[] d = Outer.Day.values();
        for (Day dd : d){
            System.out.println(dd);
        }
    }
