Switch Statement with Strings in Java

I am trying to use switch statement on String but it gives compilation error. If any one suggest me how to use String in switch-case statement , it will be helpful to me.

Answer 1

There is a way if you really really want to use switch statements.
Create an enum class which includes the switch statement cases

public enum MustUseSwitch{
    value1,
    value2,
    value3;
}

and then use the enum to switch to statements.

switch(MustUseSwitch.valueOf(stringVariable)){
    case value1:
        System.out.println("Value1!");
        break;
    case value2:
        System.out.println("Value2!");
        break;
    case value3:
        System.out.println("Value3!");
       break;
}
