Method Detail

component

public Type component()

Returns the component type of the array. As an example, String[] has a component type of String

Returns:

the component type

name

public DotName name()

Description copied from class: Type

Returns the raw name of this type. Primitives and void are returned as the Java reserved word (void, boolean, byte, short, char, int, long, float, double). Arrays are returned using the Java reflection array syntax (e.g. "[[[Ljava.lang.String;") Classes are returned as a normal DotName.

Generic values are returned as the underlying raw value. For example, a wildcard such as ? extends Number, has a raw type of Number

Overrides:

name in class Type

Returns:

the name of this type

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Type

Returns a string representation for this type. It is similar, yet not equivalent to a Java source code representation.

Overrides:

toString in class Type

Returns:

the string representation.

dimensions

public int dimensions()

The number of dimensions this array type has. For example, String[][], would return a value of 2.

Returns:

the number of dimensions of this array type

kind

public Type.Kind kind()

Description copied from class: Type

Returns the kind of Type this is.

Specified by:

kind in class Type

Returns:

the kind

asArrayType

public ArrayType asArrayType()

Description copied from class: Type

Casts this type to an ArrayType and returns it if the kind is Type.Kind.ARRAY Throws an exception otherwise.

Overrides:

asArrayType in class Type

Returns:

a ClassType

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Description copied from class: Type

Compares this Type with another type, and returns true if they are equivalent. A type is equivalent to another type if it is the same kind, and all of its fields are equal. This includes annotations, which must be equal as well.

Overrides:

equals in class Type

Parameters:

o - the type to compare to

Returns:

true if equal

Object.equals(Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Type

Computes a hash code representing this type.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Type

Returns:

the hash code
