How to get Enum Value from index in Java?

Try this

Months.values()[index]

Here's three ways to do it.

public enum Months {
    JAN(1), FEB(2), MAR(3), APR(4), MAY(5), JUN(6), JUL(7), AUG(8), SEP(9), OCT(10), NOV(11), DEC(12);


    int monthOrdinal = 0;

    Months(int ord) {
        this.monthOrdinal = ord;
    }

    public static Months byOrdinal2ndWay(int ord) {
        return Months.values()[ord-1]; // less safe
    }

    public static Months byOrdinal(int ord) {
        for (Months m : Months.values()) {
            if (m.monthOrdinal == ord) {
                return m;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
    public static Months[] MONTHS_INDEXED = new Months[] { null, JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC };

}




import static junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals;

import org.junit.Test;

public class MonthsTest {

@Test
public void test_indexed_access() {
    assertEquals(Months.MONTHS_INDEXED[1], Months.JAN);
    assertEquals(Months.MONTHS_INDEXED[2], Months.FEB);

    assertEquals(Months.byOrdinal(1), Months.JAN);
    assertEquals(Months.byOrdinal(2), Months.FEB);


    assertEquals(Months.byOrdinal2ndWay(1), Months.JAN);
    assertEquals(Months.byOrdinal2ndWay(2), Months.FEB);
}

}
