Android: Count number of cases in switch statement, know when last case
I am busy working on an app with multiple switch statement that each have a different number of cases.
switch(variable){
case: 0
//do something
case: 1
//do something
case: 3
//do something
I can iterate through the cases by using variable = variable +1. That works fine. My problem is being able to tell when the last case in the switch statement has been reached so that I can perform a different action.
How do I know when the count is at the last case? What is the code for that?
I appreciate your time.

@tm13 when i say last case i mean, using the example above, case: 3. it could be another number in another switch statement.

@josh_gom3z in the last case a button will show that will offer the user the option to do something else. I could add it to the last case but I would have to go through each switch statement and there are a lot so I am trying to find a way to count the cases in a given switch statement in order to be able to tell when the last case for a particular switch statement has been reached.

You can use default case for your problem.
switch(variable){
case: 0
//do something
break;
case: 1
//do something
break;
case: 3
//do something
break;
default:
// Here you can run your different action
break;
}
You have to also define the max value for your variable so that when your variable value reaches to that max value it stops incrementing the variable value.

In that case you can restart the variable when it reaches the last value inside your switch
.

.
switch(variable){
case 0:
//do something
case 1:
//do something
case 2: //this is the last
.
.
.
//do something
.
.
.
variable = 0;
}//End of switch
.
