[<Android.Runtime.Register("valueOf", "(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Enum;", "")>]

Attributes

Remarks

Returns the enum constant of the specified enum class with the specified name. The name must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Note that for a particular enum class T, the implicitly declared public static T valueOf(String) method on that enum may be used instead of this method to map from a name to the corresponding enum constant. All the constants of an enum class can be obtained by calling the implicit public static T[] values() method of that class.
