Testng: Is it possible to skip the method by checking the parameters

Question

Method1 has one parameter named as "Param1", if Param1 value is equal to 'True', it means execute the below method. Otherwise, skip this method and execute next method 'Method2'.

@Parameters({"Param1"})
    public void Method1(String Param1) 
    {
        //Perform Some operations
    }

//Method2 has one parameter named as "Param2"               
@Parameters({"Param2"})
    public void Method2(String Param1) 
    {
        //Perform Some operations
    }

For Example: If Param1 value will be true, it means that method Method1 will be executed. Otherwise, it will skip method Method1.

Code sample:

 @Test
 @Parameters("testStatus")
  public void testMethod1(boolean testStatus) {
     System.out.println("TestStatus: "+testStatus);
     System.out.println();
     if(testStatus == true){
         throw new SkipException("This test is being skipped...");
     }
      System.out.println("test 333333");
  }

 @Test
  public void testMethod2() {
      System.out.println("test 2222");
  }

TestNG XML:

<suite name="Suite1" verbose="1" >

<test name="Test1">
  <parameter name="testStatus" value="true"/> 
  <classes>
    <class name="packagename.ClassName"/>
  </classes>
</test>

</suite>

In the above code, if parameter is true then the testMethod1 will be skipped and otherwise it will run as it is. I hope this will fill your requirement.
