java - Getting an enumerated value out of an Android Spinner -

i've written class below let me enumerated value out of android spinner.

there 2 lines in getvalue() neither of compile.

how should this?

public class enumspinnerlistener<t extends enum> implements adapterview.onitemselectedlistener {     private string mvalue = null;      public enumspinnerlistener(adapterview<?> adapterview) {         adapterview.setonitemselectedlistener(this);     }      @override     public void onitemselected(adapterview<?> adapterview, view view, int i, long l) {         mvalue = adapterview.getitematposition(i).tostring();     }      @override     public void onnothingselected(adapterview<?> adapterview) {         // nothing     }      public t getvalue() {         return enum.valueof(t.class, mvalue); // cannot select type variable         return t.valueof(mvalue); // valueof(java.lang.class<t>, string) in enum cannot applied (java.lang.string)     } } 

due type erasure, t have no meaning @ runtime, why expression t.class illegal. workaround reference class<t> instance:

public class enumspinnerlistener<t extends enum<t>> // note correction here implements adapterview.onitemselectedlistener {      private final class<t> type;      private string mvalue = null;      public enumspinnerlistener(class<t> type, adapterview<?> adapterview) {         this.type = type;         adapterview.setonitemselectedlistener(this);     }      public t getvalue() {         return enum.valueof(type, mvalue);     } }
