Java EnumMap Example

EnumMap is specialized Map implementation designed and optimized for using Java Enum as key.

EnumMap Class Examples

Example 1: Simple Days Enum Example

In this example, we will use Days enum with all predefined days as keys in EnumMap:

import java.util.EnumMap;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

/**

public class EnumMapExample {
     enum Days {
         SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY;
     }

     public static void main(final String[] args) {
         final EnumMap<Days, String> enumMap = new EnumMap<>(Days.class);
         enumMap.put(Days.SUNDAY, "Its Sunday!!");
         enumMap.put(Days.MONDAY, "Its Monday!!");
         enumMap.put(Days.TUESDAY, "Its Tuesday!!");
         enumMap.put(Days.WEDNESDAY, "Its Wednesday!!");
         enumMap.put(Days.THURSDAY, "Its Thursday!!");
         enumMap.put(Days.FRIDAY, "Its Friday!!");
         enumMap.put(Days.SATURDAY, "Its Saturday!!");
  
         for(final Entry<Days, String> entry : enumMap.entrySet()){
             System.out.println(" Key -> " + entry.getKey().SUNDAY);
             System.out.println("Value - >" + entry.getValue());
         }
     }
}

Output:

 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Sunday!!
 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Monday!!
 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Tuesday!!
 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Wednesday!!
 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Thursday!!
 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Friday!!
 Key -> SUNDAY
Value - >Its Saturday!!

Example 2: Real-world Example

As we know that every project has list status as a project is active, inactive, close, start etc. Let's create a ProjectStatus Enum which acts as a key against each project. Let's demonstrate this with an example:

import java.util.EnumMap;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

/**
 * EnumMap Demonstration Example
 * @author Ramesh Fadatare
 *
 */
public class EnumMapExample2 {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        final EnumMap<ProjectStatus, Project> enumMap = new EnumMap<>(ProjectStatus.class);
        enumMap.put(ProjectStatus.ACTIVE, new Project(100, "Customer Management System", "Customer Management System"));
        enumMap.put(ProjectStatus.INACTIVE,
        new Project(200, "Employee Management System", "Employee Management System"));

        for (final Entry<ProjectStatus, Project> entry : enumMap.entrySet()) {
            final ProjectStatus projectStatus = entry.getKey();
            System.out.println(" Key -> " + projectStatus.name());
            final Project project = entry.getValue();
            System.out.println("Value - >" + project.toString());
       }
 }

   enum ProjectStatus {
      ACTIVE, INACTIVE
   }
}

class Project {
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private String desc;

    public Project(final int id, final String name, final String desc) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.desc = desc;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(final int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(final String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getDesc() {
       return desc;
    }

    public void setDesc(final String desc) {
        this.desc = desc;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return "[project id : " + this.id + ", project name : "
                + this.name + ", project desc : " + this.desc + " ]";
    }
}

Output:

 Key -> ACTIVE
Value - >[project id : 100, project name : Customer Management System, project desc : Customer Management System ]
 Key -> INACTIVE
Value - >[project id : 200, project name : Employee Management System, project desc : Employee Management System ]
