public Interface DeclaredType

extends ReferenceType
Known Direct Subinterfaces
javax.lang.model.type.ErrorType
Imports
java.util.List, javax.lang.model.element.Element, .TypeElement, javax.lang.model.util.Types
Represents a declared type, either a class type or an interface type. This includes parameterized types such as java.util.Set<String> as well as raw types.

While a TypeElement represents a class or interface element, a DeclaredType represents a class or interface type, the latter being a use (or invocation) of the former. See TypeElement for 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.
