Solved Interface that will create an enum

Hello, I am wanting to use an interface that will create an enum in the class that implements the interface. I am just looking for a push into the right direction on how I would accomplish this.

 

Need a little bit more detail or an example.

From the first read, it sounds like you should use an Abstract class which you can extend to other classes.

Code:

public abstract class EnumeratedSuper{
    public enum SomeEnumerator{
        First, Second, Third
    }
}

public class SomeClass extends EnumeratedSuper{
  
    private SomeEnumerator enumSelected;
  
    public SomeClass(){
        enumSelected = SomeEnumerator.First;
    }
}

On my third read, sounds like you need something like an Animal super class that contains an enumerator of all Animal subclasses?

 

@Lorinthio
Here is what I am trying to achieve.

Code:

    public interface interfaceClass {
        //Stuck here
    }
   
    public class someClass implements interfaceClass {

        //Wanting to generate an empty enum with some methods
        public enum enumName {
           
            public getName() {
                return this.name();
            }
           
        }

Don't think I have enough knowledge with how you are trying to structure it to help.

I guess another question would be what are you trying to accomplish with this? Might be a different way to approach it that I could help with

 

@Lorinthio Im using the enums for each database. Each database will have different actions depending on what data is going to be stored within the database. I am wanting to use the enums so that I will be able to use these database actions elsewhere in the plugin.

 

So i assume you are trying to use enums to declare which saving action should be used to store an object into a database, probably with serialization. But how is it related to interfaces? I dont understand what u are trying to achieve, plz explain more.

 

Sounds like the XY problem.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this enum/interface thing?
