This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

java.lang.reflect
interface ParameterizedType

All Superinterfaces:
Type
Most common way to construct:

Field field = …;

ParameterizedType type = (ParameterizedType)field.getGenericType();

Based on 14 examples 

public interface ParameterizedType
extends Type

ParameterizedType represents a parameterized type such as Collection<String>.

A parameterized type is created the first time it is needed by a reflective method, as specified in this package. When a parameterized type p is created, the generic type declaration that p instantiates is resolved, and all type arguments of p are created recursively. See {@link java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable TypeVariable} for details on the creation process for type variables. Repeated creation of a parameterized type has no effect.

Instances of classes that implement this interface must implement an equals() method that equates any two instances that share the same generic type declaration and have equal type parameters.

Method Summary
 Type[]
getActualTypeArguments()

          Returns an array of Type objects representing the actual type arguments to this type.
 Type
getOwnerType()

          Returns a Type object representing the type that this type is a member of.
 Type
getRawType()

          Returns the Type object representing the class or interface that declared this type.
 

Method Detail

getActualTypeArguments

public Type[] getActualTypeArguments()
Returns an array of Type objects representing the actual type arguments to this type.

Note that in some cases, the returned array be empty. This can occur if this type represents a non-parameterized type nested within a parameterized type.

Returns:
an array of Type objects representing the actual type arguments to this type

getOwnerType

public Type getOwnerType()
Returns a Type object representing the type that this type is a member of. For example, if this type is {@code O.I}, return a representation of {@code O}.

If this type is a top-level type, null is returned.

Returns:
a Type object representing the type that this type is a member of. If this type is a top-level type, null is returned

getRawType

public Type getRawType()
Returns the Type object representing the class or interface that declared this type.

Returns:
the Type object representing the class or interface that declared this type
