static ElementValue.Type |
LONG
Indicates the type of the value is a long (64 bit signed integer).
|
static ElementValue.Type |
STRING
Indicates the type of the value is a string (a variable length sequence of
characters).
|
static ElementValue.Type |
STRING_LIST
Indicates the type of the value is a list of strings.

element.

Additional instances might exist at runtime, for example to represent a
new constant added to this enumeration class in subsequent version of the
API. Such new constant is represented as instance of Type
but is not pre-defined.

.public static ElementValue.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)
If the name matches exactly the identifier used to declare an enumeration constant from this enumeration class, the constant in question will be returned.
Otherwise, a new instance of Type
will be returned for the
specified name, which will not be one of the pre-defined constant
instances. Such new instance maps to the ElementValue.Type.Values._UNKNOWN
enum
constant from the native Java enum
.

enum
constant representing this enumeration
constant. The result is useful for usual handling of Java enum
,
for example it can be used in switch
statements.
If this enumeration constant is unknown, then ElementValue.Type.Values._UNKNOWN
enum
constant is returned.
