Method Details
-
asType
TypeMirror asType()Returns the executable type defined by this executable element.- Specified by:
asTypein interfaceElement- Returns:
- the executable type defined by this executable element
- See Also:
-
getTypeParameters
List<? extends TypeParameterElement> getTypeParameters()Returns the formal type parameters of this executable in declaration order.- Specified by:
getTypeParametersin interfaceParameterizable- Returns:
- the formal type parameters, or an empty list if there are none
-
getReturnType
TypeMirror getReturnType()Returns the return type of this executable. Returns aNoTypewith kindVOIDif this executable is not a method, or is a method that does not return a value.- Returns:
- the return type of this executable
-
getParameters
List<? extends VariableElement> getParameters()Returns the formal parameters of this executable. They are returned in declaration order.- Returns:
- the formal parameters, or an empty list if there are none
-
getReceiverType
TypeMirror getReceiverType()Returns the receiver type of this executable, orNoTypewith kindNONEif the executable has no receiver type. An executable which is an instance method, or a constructor of an inner class, has a receiver type derived from the declaring type. An executable which is a static method, or a constructor of a non-inner class, or an initializer (static or instance), has no receiver type.- Returns:
- the receiver type of this executable

isVarArgs
boolean isVarArgs()Returnstrueif this method or constructor accepts a variable number of arguments and returnsfalseotherwise.- Returns:
trueif this method or constructor accepts a variable number of arguments and returnsfalseotherwise
-
isDefault
boolean isDefault()Returnstrueif this method is a default method and returnsfalseotherwise.- Returns:
trueif this method is a default method and returnsfalseotherwise- Since:
- 1.8
-
getThrownTypes
List<? extends TypeMirror> getThrownTypes()Returns the exceptions and other throwables listed in this method or constructor'sthrowsclause in declaration order.- Returns:
- the exceptions and other throwables listed in the
throwsclause, or an empty list if there are none
-
getDefaultValue
AnnotationValue getDefaultValue()Returns the default value if this executable is an annotation interface element. Returnsnullif this method is not an annotation interface element, or if it is an annotation interface element with no default value.- Returns:
- the default value, or
nullif none
-
getSimpleName
Name getSimpleName()Returns the simple name of a constructor, method, or initializer. For a constructor, the name"<init>"is returned, for a static initializer, the name"<clinit>"is returned, and for an anonymous class or instance initializer, an empty name is returned.- Specified by:
getSimpleNamein interfaceElement- Returns:
- the simple name of a constructor, method, or initializer
