  • Uses of Type in java.lang

    Classes in java.lang that implement Type 
    Modifier and Type Class Description
    class  Class<T>

    Methods in java.lang that return Type 
    Modifier and Type Method Description
    Type[] Class.getGenericInterfaces()
    Returns the Types representing the interfaces directly implemented by the class or interface represented by this object.
    Type Class.getGenericSuperclass()
    Returns the Type representing the direct superclass of the entity (class, interface, primitive type or void) represented by this Class.
  • Uses of Type in java.lang.reflect

    Subinterfaces of Type in java.lang.reflect 
    Modifier and Type Interface Description
    interface  GenericArrayType
    GenericArrayType represents an array type whose component type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
    interface  ParameterizedType
    ParameterizedType represents a parameterized type such as Collection<String>.
    interface  TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration>
    TypeVariable is the common superinterface for type variables of kinds.
    interface  WildcardType
    WildcardType represents a wildcard type expression, such as ?, ? extends Number, or ? super Integer.
