 public interface DeclaredType extends ReferenceType Represents a declared type, either a class type or an interface type. This includes parameterized types such asjava.util.Set<String>as well as raw types.While a TypeElementrepresents a class or interface element, aDeclaredTyperepresents a class or interface type, the latter being a use (or invocation) of the former. SeeTypeElementfor 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.- Since:

Method Detail- 
asElementElement asElement() Returns the element corresponding to this type.- Returns:
- the element corresponding to this type
 
 - 
getEnclosingTypeTypeMirror getEnclosingType() Returns the type of the innermost enclosing instance or aNoTypeof kindNONEif there is no enclosing instance. Only types corresponding to inner classes have an enclosing instance.- Returns:
- a type mirror for the enclosing type
- See The Java™ Language Specification:
- 8.1.3 Inner Classes and Enclosing Instances, 15.9.2 Determining Enclosing Instances
 
 - 
getTypeArgumentsList<? 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
