public interface DeclaredType extends ReferenceType
Represents a declared type, either a class type or an interface type.
This includes parameterized types such as
java.util.Set<String>
as well as raw types.
While a TypeElement
represents a class or interface
element, a DeclaredType
represents a class
or interface type, the latter being a use
(or invocation) of the former.
See TypeElement
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.

Method Details
-
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 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
