class:DeclaredType [CHANGED]

  • All Superinterfaces:
    AnnotatedConstruct, ReferenceType, TypeMirror
    All Known Subinterfaces:
    ErrorType


    public interface DeclaredType
    extends ReferenceType
    
    Represents a declared type, either a class type or an interface type. This includes parameterized types such as java.util.Set<String> as well as raw types.

    While a TypeElement represents a class or interface element, a DeclaredType represents a class or interface type, the latter being a use (or invocation) of the former. See TypeElement for more on this distinction.

    The supertypes (both class and interface types) of a declared type may be found using the Types.directSupertypes(TypeMirror) method. This returns the supertypes with any type arguments substituted in. This interface is also used to represent intersection types. An intersection type is implicitin a program rather than being explictly declared. For example, the bound of the type parameter <T extends Number & Runnable> is an intersection type. It is represented by a DeclaredType with Number as its superclass and Runnable as its lone superinterface.

method:asElement-- [NONE]

  • asElement

    Element asElement()
    Returns the element corresponding to this type.
    Returns:
    the element corresponding to this type

method:getEnclosingType-- [NONE]

  • getEnclosingType

    TypeMirror getEnclosingType()
    Returns the type of the innermost enclosing instance or a NoType of kind NONE if there is no enclosing instance. Only types corresponding to inner classes have an enclosing instance.
    Returns:
    a type mirror for the enclosing type
    See The Java™ Language Specification :
    8.1.3 Inner Classes and Enclosing Instances, 15.9.2 Determining Enclosing Instances

method:getTypeArguments-- [NONE]

  • getTypeArguments

    java.util.List<? extends TypeMirror> getTypeArguments()
    Returns the actual type arguments of this type. For a type nested within a parameterized type (such as Outer<String>.Inner<Number>), only the type arguments of the innermost type are included.
    Returns:
    the actual type arguments of this type, or an empty list if none
