Method Details
-
asType
TypeMirror asType()Returns the type variable corresponding to this type parameter element.- Specified by:
asType
in interfaceElement
- Returns:
- the type variable corresponding to this type parameter element
- See Also:
TypeVariable
-
getGenericElement
Element getGenericElement()Returns the generic class, interface, method, or constructor that is parameterized by this type parameter.- Returns:
- the generic class, interface, method, or constructor that is parameterized by this type parameter
-
getBounds
List<? extends TypeMirror> getBounds()Returns the bounds of this type parameter. These are the types given by theextends
clause used to declare this type parameter. If no explicitextends
clause was used, thenjava.lang.Object
is considered to be the sole bound.- Returns:
- the bounds of this type parameter, or an empty list if there are none
-
getEnclosingElement
Element getEnclosingElement()Returns the generic element of this type parameter.- Specified by:
getEnclosingElement
in interfaceElement
- Returns:
- the generic element of this type parameter
