title: Enum State pattern for android
body: <p>I'm trying to create a Enum STATE pattern so I can set the current state of my operations.
  In C# (i think) I used this pattern:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Enum State { STARTED, STOPPED, PAUSED };
  State _s;
  
  public foo() {
     _s = State.STARTED;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did read somewhere that you shouldn't or couldn't use Enum in Android. How can I replicate this design pattern in Android?</p>
