Enum Constant Details

VOID

public static final Type.Kind VOID

The void pseudo-type, e.g. when method returns void.

PRIMITIVE

public static final Type.Kind PRIMITIVE

A primitive type, e.g. when method returns int.

CLASS

public static final Type.Kind CLASS

A class type, e.g. when method returns String.

ARRAY

public static final Type.Kind ARRAY

An array type, e.g. when method returns int[] or String[][].

PARAMETERIZED_TYPE

public static final Type.Kind PARAMETERIZED_TYPE

A parameterized type, e.g. when method returns List<String>.

TYPE_VARIABLE

public static final Type.Kind TYPE_VARIABLE

A type variable, e.g. when method returns T and T is a type parameter of the declaring class.

WILDCARD_TYPE

public static final Type.Kind WILDCARD_TYPE

A wildcard type, e.g. when method returns List<? extends Number>. The kind of such type is PARAMETERIZED_TYPE, but the first (and only) type argument is a WILDCARD_TYPE.

Method Details

values

public static Type.Kind[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Type.Kind valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
