ImageView conditionals alternatives (Android Studio)
I am a basic beginner at android studio and I am developing a weather app. I want to put conditionals for icon images to weather condition.
For example:
sun = sun image
rain = rain image
snow = snow image
I understand a switch case might be useful:
switch (id) {
case "Raining":
icon = "rainIcon";
break;
case "Snowing":
icon = "snowIcon";
break;
case "Drizzling":
icon = "drizzlingIcon";
break;
case "Foggy":
icon = "fogIcon";
break;
case "Thunderstorm":
icon = "thunderIcon;";
break;
case "Sunny":
icon = "sunIcon";
break;
}
However, I am confused how to implement it into my code as I am retrieving my data from my AsyncTask and need to implement the image change in that class but there is no proper method to change my ImageView variable there.
I understand there are ways to implement this on the onCreateView method but this is the way my code is implemented right now

I suggest to create an enum of type Weathers.
public enum Weathers {
RAINING(R.drawable.ic_raining),
SNOWING(R.drawable.ic_snowing);
private int iconResId;
private Weathers(int iconResId) {
this.iconResId = iconResId;
}
public int getIconResId() {
return iconResId;
}
}
This might lessen the conditionals (The switch case above). To display into imageview, get an instance of the Weather instance by using Weathers.valuesOf(String) where String is upper-cased.
Weathers snowing = Weathers.valueOf("Snowing".toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH));
imageViewIcon.setImageResource(snowing.getIconResId());
