Java enum lets you pass arguments to the constructor, but I can't seem to pass an array. For instance, the following code compiles with out error:
enum Color {
RED(255,0,0),
GREEN(0,255,0),
BLUE(0,0,255);
int[] rgb;
Color(int r, int g, int b) {
rgb[0] = r;
rgb[1] = g;
rgb[2] = b;
}
}
But if this same data is passed in as an array constant, the code will not compile:
enum Color {
RED({255,0,0}),
GREEN({0,255,0}),
BLUE({0,0,255});
int[] rgb;
Color(int[] rgb) {
this.rgb = rgb;
}
}
I have also tried variations of creating a new int[] array, like:
...
RED(new int[]{255,0,0}),
...
with no luck. I think the problem lies in passing an array constant. I'm not sure if it is a simple syntax that needs to be corrected or if there is an underlying problem with passing this type of data. Thanks in advance.
