How can I get a RobotState of my robot?

Question

Do you know, how can I get a RobotState of my robot in Robocode? I would like to get an information for example, if my robot is active, alive, dead etc. In debug mode is it possible to see that information, but how can I get this in my code?

Post your code? You can use the methods listed in the link you gave. You can just call isAlive() to see if it's alive and so on... if rossRobot.isAlive() { doSomethingHere } — RossC, Sep 04 '13 at 09:38

The enum RobotState is only used in the core of RoboCode. There is no getState() method for your robot. (i digged through the source code)

However: you can get all theses state in other ways:

If your robot is hitting a wall, a HitWall event is fired. you can handle those events by overriding a method in your robot class:

@Override
public void onHitWall(HitWallEvent e)
{
    //your code
}

same with hitting a robot:

@Override
public void onHitRobot(HitRobotEvent e)
{
    //your code
}

if your robot dies:

@Override
public void onRobotDeath(RobotDeathEvent event) 
{
    //salute your warrior
    //your code
}

and if it's alive it should still loop in your runs method:

@Override
public void run() {
    do {
         //here you do the normal stuff a robot does
    } while(true);
}

You can look at even more event methods in this interfaces:
