makeParameterizedType	back to summary
public ParameterizedType makeParameterizedType(Type declaration, Type[] typeArgs, Type owner) Returns an instance of the `ParameterizedType` interface that corresponds to a generic type instantiation of the generic declaration `declaration` with actual type arguments `typeArgs`. If `owner` is `null`, the declaring class of `declaration` is used as the owner of this parameterized type. This method throws a MalformedParameterizedTypeException under the following circumstances: If the type declaration does not represent a generic declaration (i.e., it is not an instance of `GenericDeclaration`). If the number of actual type arguments (i.e., the size of the array `typeArgs`) does not correspond to the number of formal type arguments. If any of the actual type arguments is not an instance of the bounds on the corresponding formal. Parameters declaration:Type - the generic type declaration that is to be instantiated typeArgs:Type[] - the list of actual type arguments Returns:ParameterizedType - a parameterized type representing the instantiation of the declaration with the actual type arguments Exceptions MalformedParameterizedTypeException: if the instantiation is invalid NullPointerException: if any of `declaration`, `typeArgs` or any of the elements of `typeArgs` are `null`

public ParameterizedType makeParameterizedType(Type declaration, Type[] typeArgs, Type owner)

Returns an instance of the ParameterizedType interface that corresponds to a generic type instantiation of the generic declaration declaration with actual type arguments typeArgs. If owner is null, the declaring class of declaration is used as the owner of this parameterized type.

This method throws a MalformedParameterizedTypeException under the following circumstances: If the type declaration does not represent a generic declaration (i.e., it is not an instance of GenericDeclaration). If the number of actual type arguments (i.e., the size of the array typeArgs) does not correspond to the number of formal type arguments. If any of the actual type arguments is not an instance of the bounds on the corresponding formal.

Parameters

declaration:Type: - the generic type declaration that is to be instantiated
