Java create enum from String

I have enum class

public enum PaymentType {

    /**
     * This notify type we receive when user make first subscription payment.
     */

    SUBSCRIPTION_NEW("subscr_signup"),

    /**
     * This notify type we receive when user make subscription payment for next
     * month.
     */
    SUBSCRIPTION_PAYMENT("subscr_payment"),

    /**
     * This notify type we receive when user cancel subscription from his paypal

     * personal account.
     */
    SUBSCRIPTION_CANCEL("subscr_cancel"),

    /**
     * In this case the user cannot change the amount or length of the
     * subscription, they can however change the funding source or address
     * associated with their account. Those actions will generate the
     * subscr_modify IPN that we are receiving.
     */

    SUBSCRIPTION_MODIFY("subscr_modify"),

    /**
     * Means that the subscription has expired, either because the subscriber
     * cancelled it or it has a fixed term (implying a fixed number of payments)
     * and it has now expired with no further payments being due. It is sent at
     * the end of the term, instead of any payment that would otherwise have
     * been due on that date.
     */
    SUBSCRIPTION_EXPIRED("subscr_eot"),


    /** User have no money on card, CVV error, another negative errors. */
    SUBSCRIPTION_FAILED("subscr_failed");

    private String type;

    PaymentType(String type) {
        this.type = type;
    }


    String getType() {
        return type;
    }
}

When I try to create enum :

PaymentType type = PaymentType.valueOf("subscr_signup");

Java throws to me error :

IllegalArgumentException occured : No enum constant models.PaymentType.subscr_signup

How I can fix this?

Answer

add and use this method

public static PaymentType parse(String type) {
    for (PaymentType paymentType : PaymentType.values()) {
        if (paymentType.getType().equals(type)) {
            return paymentType;
        }
    }
    return null; //or you can throw exception
}
