Method Details

getComponentType

CtTypeReference<?> getComponentType()

Gets the type of the elements contained in this array. e.g., if you have the array int[][][], this method returns a type reference for int[][].

getArrayType

CtTypeReference<?> getArrayType()

Gets the type of the array elements at the finest grain. e.g., if you have the array int[][][], this method returns a type reference to "int".

setComponentType

<C extends CtArrayTypeReference<T>> C setComponentType(CtTypeReference<?> componentType)

Sets the type of the elements contained in this array.

getDimensionCount

int getDimensionCount()

Returns the number of dimensions of this array type. This corresponds to the number of array types recursively embedded into the current one (see getComponentType()).

getSimpleName

String getSimpleName()

Returns the simple name of the array type core component type (with no []s). Use toString() to get the full array type including []s.

Specified by:

getSimpleName in interface CtReference

Specified by:

getSimpleName in interface CtTypeReference<T>

setSimpleName

<T extends CtReference> T setSimpleName(String simpleName)

The simple name of an ArrayTypeReference is unsettable as it's retrieved from its component type.

Specified by:

setSimpleName in interface CtReference

clone

CtArrayTypeReference<T> clone()

Description copied from interface: CtElement

Clone the element which calls this method in a new object. Note that that references are kept as is, and thus, so if you clone whole classes or methods, some parts of the cloned element (eg executable references) may still point to the initial element. In this case, consider using methods Refactoring.copyType(CtType) and Refactoring.copyMethod(CtMethod) instead which does additional work beyond cloning.

Specified by:

clone in interface CtElement

Specified by:

clone in interface CtReference

Specified by:

clone in interface CtTypeReference<T>

Returns:

a clone of this element. All children are cloned, but the parent of the returned clone is set to null.
