Question

I am making a bukkit plugin, and I am using an API called MCStats, to create the graph, you add Plotters like so…

mobs.addPlotter(new Metrics.Plotter("Player") {

    @Override
        public int getValue() {
            return 0;
        }

});

But I want to get the values from a HashMap, and idealy something like this…

for(String mob: mobNames) {
    mobs.addPlotter(new Metrics.Plotter(mob) {

        @Override
            public int getValue() {
                return Stats.getValue(mob);
            }

    });
}

But obviously, it can’t access the mob variable, if I set it to final, it still wont be able to change in the loop. How can I work around this problem?

Answer 1

You can, in fact, use final in an enhanced for loop:

for(final String mob: mobNames) {
    mobs.addPlotter(new Metrics.Plotter(mob) {

        @Override
            public int getValue() {
                return Stats.getValue(mob);
            }

    });
}
