public interface DeclaredType extends ReferenceType
Represents a declared type, either a class type or an interface type. This includes parameterized types such asjava.util.Set<String>
as well as raw types.While a
TypeElement
represents a class or interface element, aDeclaredType
represents a class or interface type, the latter being a use (or invocation) of the former. SeeTypeElement
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 aDeclaredType
withNumber
as its superclass andRunnable
as its lone superinterface.- Since:

Method Detail
-
asElement
Element asElement()
Returns the element corresponding to this type.- Returns:
- the element corresponding to this type
-
getEnclosingType
TypeMirror getEnclosingType()
Returns the type of the innermost enclosing instance or aNoType
of kindNONE
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
-
getTypeArguments
List<? extends TypeMirror> getTypeArguments()
Returns the actual type arguments of this type. For a type nested within a parameterized type (such asOuter<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
