Method Detail

getQualifiedName

public static Name getQualifiedName(DeclaredType type)

Gets the fully qualified name for a provided type. It returns an empty name if type is an anonymous type.

Parameters:

type - the declared type

Returns:

the name corresponding to that type

isObject

public static boolean isObject(TypeMirror type)

Checks if the type represents a java.lang.Object declared type.

Parameters:

type - the type

Returns:

true iff type represents java.lang.Object

isClass

public static boolean isClass(TypeMirror type)

Checks if the type represents a java.lang.Class declared type.

Parameters:

type - the type

Returns:

true iff type represents java.lang.Class

isString

public static boolean isString(TypeMirror type)

Checks if the type represents a java.lang.String declared type. TODO: it would be cleaner to use String.class.getCanonicalName(), but the two existing methods above don't do that, I guess for performance reasons.

Parameters:

type - the type

Returns:

true iff type represents java.lang.String

isBooleanType

public static boolean isBooleanType(TypeMirror type)

Checks if the type represents a boolean type, that is either boolean (primitive type) or java.lang.Boolean.

Parameters:

type - the type to test

Returns:

true iff type represents a boolean type

isDeclaredOfName

public static boolean isDeclaredOfName(TypeMirror type,
                       CharSequence qualifiedName)

Check if the type represent a declared type of the given qualified name

Parameters:

type - the type

Returns:

type iff type represents a declared type of the qualified name

isBoxedPrimitive

public static boolean isBoxedPrimitive(TypeMirror type)

isThrowable

public static boolean isThrowable(TypeMirror type)

Returns:

type represents a Throwable type (e.g. Exception, Error)

isPrimitive

public static boolean isPrimitive(TypeMirror type)

Returns true iff the argument is a primitive type.

Returns:

whether the argument is a primitive type

areSamePrimitiveTypes

public static boolean areSamePrimitiveTypes(TypeMirror left,
                            TypeMirror right)

Returns true iff the arguments are both the same primitive types.

Returns:

whether the arguments are the same primitive types

isNumeric

public static boolean isNumeric(TypeMirror type)

Returns true iff the argument is a primitive numeric type.

Returns:

whether the argument is a primitive numeric type

isIntegral

public static boolean isIntegral(TypeMirror type)

Returns true iff the argument is an integral type.

Returns:

whether the argument is an integral type

isFloating

public static boolean isFloating(TypeMirror type)

Returns true iff the argument is a floating point type.

Returns:

whether the argument is a floating point type

widenedNumericType

public static TypeKind widenedNumericType(TypeMirror left,
                          TypeMirror right)

Returns the widened numeric type for an arithmetic operation performed on a value of the left type and the right type. Defined in JLS 5.6.2. We return a TypeKind because creating a TypeMirror requires a Types object from the ProcessingEnvironment.

Returns:

the result of widening numeric conversion, or NONE when the conversion cannot be performed

upperBound

public static TypeMirror upperBound(TypeMirror type)

If the argument is a bounded TypeVariable or WildcardType, return its non-variable, non-wildcard upper bound. Otherwise, return the type itself.

Parameters:

type - a type

Returns:

the non-variable, non-wildcard upper bound of a type, if it has one, or itself if it has no bounds

typeFromClass

public static TypeMirror typeFromClass(Types types,
                       Elements elements,
                       Class<?> clazz)

Returns the TypeMirror for a given Class.

createArrayType

public static ArrayType createArrayType(Types types,
                        TypeMirror componentType)

Returns an ArrayType with elements of type componentType.
