Method Detail

values

public static AttributeType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AttributeType c : AttributeType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AttributeType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getAttributeType

public static AttributeType getAttributeType(java.lang.String theType)

Returns the AttributeType corresponding to the String parameter. If the corresponding AttributeType can not be found, the default AttributeType NOMINAL is returned. This method is case insensitive.

Parameters:

theType - the String corresponding to an AtrtibuteType.

Returns:

the AttributeType corresponding to the String parameter, or AttributeType NOMINAL if no corresponding AttributeType is found.

isValidBinaryTrueValue

public static boolean isValidBinaryTrueValue(java.lang.String theBooleanValue)

Returns whether the String parameter is considered to represent a valid boolean value of true. This method is case insensitive.

Parameters:

theBooleanValue - String to check.

Returns:

true if the String parameter is considered to represent a valid boolean value of true, false otherwise.

isValidBinaryFalseValue

public static boolean isValidBinaryFalseValue(java.lang.String theBooleanValue)

Returns whether the String parameter is considered to represent a valid boolean value of false. This method is case insensitive.

Parameters:

theBooleanValue - String to check.

Returns:

true if the String parameter is considered to represent a valid boolean value of false, false otherwise.

getDefault

public static AttributeType getDefault()

Returns the default AttributeType.

Returns:

the default AttributeType.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from interface: EnumInterface

Returns a friendly String to show in the GUI.

Specified by:

toString in interface EnumInterface

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Enum<AttributeType>

Returns:

the text String presented to the end user.
