public class ArrayTypeSignature extends ReferenceTypeSignature
An array type signature.
  • Method Details

    • getTypeSignatureStr

      public String getTypeSignatureStr()
      Get the raw array type signature string, e.g. "[[I".
      Returns:
      the raw array type signature string.
    • getElementTypeSignature

      public TypeSignature getElementTypeSignature()
      Get the type signature of the innermost element type of the array.
      Returns:
      The type signature of the innermost element type.
    • getNumDimensions

      public int getNumDimensions()
      Get the number of dimensions of the array.
      Returns:
      The number of dimensions of the array.
    • getNestedType

      public TypeSignature getNestedType()
      Get the nested type, which is another ArrayTypeSignature with one dimension fewer, if this array has 2 or more dimensions, otherwise this returns the element type.
      Returns:
      The nested type.
    • getTypeAnnotationInfo

      public AnnotationInfoList getTypeAnnotationInfo()
      Get a list of AnnotationInfo objects for the type annotations on this array type, or null if none.
      Overrides:
      getTypeAnnotationInfo in class TypeSignature
      Returns:
      a list of AnnotationInfo objects for the type annotations of on this array type, or null if none.

      the ArrayClassInfo instance.
    • loadElementClass

      public Class<?> loadElementClass(boolean ignoreExceptions)
      Get a Class<?> reference for the innermost array element type. Causes the ClassLoader to load the class, if it is not already loaded.
      Parameters:
      ignoreExceptions - Whether or not to ignore exceptions.
      Returns:
      a Class<?> reference for the innermost array element type. Also works for arrays of primitive element type.

      Parameters:
      ignoreExceptions - Whether or not to ignore exceptions.
      Returns:
      The class reference, or null, if ignoreExceptions is true and there was an exception or error loading the class.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if ignoreExceptions is false and there were problems loading the class.
    • loadClass

      public Class<?> loadClass()
      Obtain a Class<?> reference for the array class named by this ArrayClassInfo object. Causes the ClassLoader to load the element class, if it is not already loaded.
      Returns:
      The class reference.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if there were problems loading the class.
