public interface DeclaredType extends ReferenceType
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 implicit in 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.
TypeElement
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
Element |
asElement()
Returns the element corresponding to this type.
|
TypeMirror |
getEnclosingType()
Returns the type of the innermost enclosing instance or a
NoType of kind NONE if there is no enclosing
instance. |
List<? extends TypeMirror> |
getTypeArguments()
Returns the actual type arguments of this type.

Element asElement()
TypeMirror getEnclosingType()
NoType
of kind NONE
if there is no enclosing
instance. Only types corresponding to inner classes have an
enclosing instance.List<? extends TypeMirror> getTypeArguments()
Outer<String>.Inner<Number>
), only the type
arguments of the innermost type are included. Submit a bug or feature
