public interface TypeReference
extends Reference, java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.CharSequence>

This class represents a reference to a type. When possible, elsewhere in the interface, a type is referenced directly as a String. A TypeReference is only used in those cases where a generic Reference is needed The type being referenced is represented as a String in the format of a TypeDescriptor, as defined by the dex file specification. This type also acts as a CharSequence wrapper around the TypeDescriptor string. As per the CharSequence contract, calling toString() on a TypeReference yields the type descriptor as a String. This is the same value returned by getType()

Method Detail

getType

@Nonnull
java.lang.String getType()

Gets the string representation of the referenced type. The returned string will be a TypeDescriptor, as defined in the dex file specification

Returns:

The string representation of the referenced type.

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for this TypeReference. This is defined to be getType().hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

The hash code value for this TypeReference

equals

boolean equals(@Nullable
               java.lang.Object o)

Compares this TypeReference to another TypeReference, or more generally to another CharSequence for equality. This TypeReference is equal to a CharSequence iff this.getType().equals(other.toString()). Equivalently, This TypeReference is equal to another TypeReference iff this.getType().equals(other.getType()).

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - The object to be compared for equality with this TypeReference

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this TypeReference

compareTo

int compareTo(@Nonnull
              java.lang.CharSequence o)

Compare this TypeReference to another TypeReference, or more generally to another CharSequence. The comparison is defined to be this.getType().compareTo(other.toString())

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.CharSequence>

Parameters:

o - The CharSequence to compare with this TypeReference

Returns:

An integer representing the result of the comparison
