| javax.lang.model.type.TypeMirror
| TypeMirror | | public interface TypeMirror (Code) | | Represents a type in the Java programming language.
Types include primitive types, declared types (class and interface types),
array types, type variables, and the null type.
Also represented are wildcard type arguments,
the signature and return types of executables,
and pseudo-types corresponding to packages and to the keyword
void .
Types should be compared using the utility methods in
Types . There is no guarantee that any particular type will always
be represented by the same object.
To implement operations based on the class of an
TypeMirror object, either use a
or use the result of the
TypeMirror.getKind method. Using
instanceof is not necessarily a reliable idiom for
determining the effective class of an object in this modeling
hierarchy since an implementation may choose to have a single
object implement multiple
TypeMirror subinterfaces.

| accept | | R accept(TypeVisitor<R, P> v, P p)(Code) | | Applies a visitor to this type.
<
Parameters:
R - > the return type of the visitor's methods<
Parameters:
P - > the type of the additional parameter to the visitor's methods
Parameters:
v - the visitor operating on this type
Parameters:
p - additional parameter to the visitor a visitor-specified result |
| equals | | boolean equals(Object obj)(Code) | | Obeys the general contract of
Object.equals Object.equals .
This method does not, however, indicate whether two types represent
the same type.
Semantic comparisons of type equality should instead use
Types.isSameType(TypeMirrorTypeMirror) .
The results of
t1.equals(t2) and
Types.isSameType(t1, t2) may differ.
Parameters:
obj - the object to be compared with this type true if the specified object is equal to this one |
| getKind | | TypeKind getKind()(Code) | | Returns the
kind of this type.
the kind of this type |
| toString | | String toString()(Code) | | Returns an informative string representation of this type. If
possible, the string should be of a form suitable for
representing this type in source code. Any names embedded in
the result are qualified if possible.
a string representation of this type |
