Hi,

if you have static final String DRINK_TYPE you can use follow construct

if(className.DRINK_TYPE.equals("beer")){
}

or make new class just with constats
class IConstants
...
public static final String DRINK_TYPE = "type";
public static final String  BEER = "beer";
public static final String LAGER = "lager";
...


and next
if(IConstants.DRINK_TYPE.equals(IConstants.BEER)){
...
}
