How to use the goto statement in Android

Question

How can I use goto in Android?

"goto" who told you it is supported...if you know java then you might be knowing that it is not supported in java itself....;-)..... — N-JOY, Feb 23 '11 at 06:15
I don't see how this is "not a real question". How to use a goto statements in Android might be asking the wrong question, but there still is an answer, and it's potentially useful for other people who mix up Android and Java. — Brendan Long, Feb 24 '11 at 02:41

Tha language used in Android is Java, and there isn't any goto by itself in Java.

You can use a labeled break or other alternatives as described in an answer to Stack Overflow question Alternative to a goto statement in Java, but these constructs should be avoided as long as possible, as they produce really ugly and hard-to-maintain code.

Just figure out how to design your code correctly, and you will never need goto and such stuff ;-)

If you are using the Android SDK in Java you cannot use a goto statement. Java does not provide a goto statement in its grammar.
