# Accessing C++ Enums In Java
[TOC]
## Introduction
Accessing C++ enums in Java is implemented via a Python script which analyzes
the C++ enum and spits out the corresponding Java class. The enum needs to be
annotated in a particular way. By default, the generated class name will be the
same as the name of the enum. If all the names of the enum values are prefixed
with the MACRO\_CASED\_ name of the enum those prefixes will be stripped from
the Java version.
## Features
* Customize the package name of the generated class using the
`GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE` directive (required)
* Customize the class name using the `GENERATED_JAVA_CLASS_NAME_OVERRIDE`
directive (optional)
* Strip enum entry prefixes to make the generated classes less verbose using
the `GENERATED_JAVA_PREFIX_TO_STRIP` directive (optional)
* Supports
[`@IntDef`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/annotation/IntDef.html)
* Copies comments that directly precede enum entries into the generated Java
class
## Usage
1. Add directives to your C++ enum
```cpp
// GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE: org.chromium.chrome
// GENERATED_JAVA_CLASS_NAME_OVERRIDE: FooBar
// GENERATED_JAVA_PREFIX_TO_STRIP: BAR_
enum SomeEnum {
BAR_A,
BAR_B,
BAR_C = BAR_B,
};
```
2. Add a new build target
```
import("//build/config/android/rules.gni")
java_cpp_enum("foo_generated_enum") {
sources = [
"base/android/native_foo_header.h",
]
}
```
3. Add the new target to the desired android_library targets srcjar_deps:
```
android_library("base_java") {
srcjar_deps = [
":foo_generated_enum",
]
}
```
4. The generated file `org/chromium/chrome/FooBar.java` would contain:
```java
package org.chromium.chrome;
import android.support.annotation.IntDef;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
public class FooBar {
@IntDef({
A, B, C
})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)
public @interface FooBarEnum {}
public static final int A = 0;
public static final int B = 1;
public static final int C = 1;
}
```
## Formatting Notes
* Handling long package names:
```
// GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE: (
// org.chromium.chrome.this.package.is.too.long.to.fit.on.a.single.line)
```
* Enum entries
* Single line enums should look like this:
// GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE: org.foo
enum NotificationActionType { BUTTON, TEXT };
* Multi-line enums should have one enum entry per line, like this:
// GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE: org.foo
enum NotificationActionType {
BUTTON,
TEXT
};
* Multi-line enum entries are allowed but should be formatted like this:
// GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE: org.foo
enum NotificationActionType {
LongKeyNumberOne,
LongKeyNumberTwo,
...
LongKeyNumberThree =
LongKeyNumberOne | LongKeyNumberTwo | ...
};
* Preserving comments
```cpp
// GENERATED_JAVA_ENUM_PACKAGE: org.chromium
enum CommentEnum {
// This comment will be preserved.
ONE,
TWO, // This comment will NOT be preserved.
THREE
}
```
```java
...
public class CommentEnum {
...
/**
* This comment will be preserved.
*/
public static final int ONE = 0;
public static final int TWO = 1;
public static final int THREE = 2;
}
```
