A switch statement gives you the option to test for a range of values for your variables. They can be used instead of long, complex if-then-else if statements
2. Add the below code in the onCreate method. The evaluated variable can be an int, short, byte, or char. It can’t be a long or a floating-point type. Starting in JDK 7, strings are allowed to be used with a switch statement. Note: A case ends in a colon (:) not a semi-colon. A break is necessary or the code will continue to fall through the switch and run. The default clause is optional. If a case has a return, then the break is not necessary for that case.
switch(myInteger) {
case 1:
\\Enter code for value1 condition here; To test, you could Add a Toast
break;
case 2:
\\Enter code for value2 condition here; To test, you could Add a Toast
break;
case 3:
\\Enter code for value3 condition here; To test, you could Add a Toast
break;
default:
\\Enter code in the event that that no cases match. To test, you could Add a Toast
}
3. Compile and run!
