This interface allows annotations to be read reflectively. All * annotations returned by methods in this interface are immutable and * serializable. The arrays returned by methods of this interface may be modified * by callers without affecting the arrays returned to other callers. * *

Android note: methods that return multiple annotations of different types such as * {@link #getAnnotations()} and {@link #getDeclaredAnnotations()} can be affected * by the explicit character-code ordering of annotations types specified by the DEX format. * Annotations of different types on a single element are not guaranteed to be returned in the order * they are declared in source. * *

The {@link #getAnnotationsByType(Class)} and {@link * #getDeclaredAnnotationsByType(Class)} methods support multiple * annotations of the same type on an element. If the argument to * either method is a repeatable annotation type (JLS 9.6), then the * method will "look through" a container annotation (JLS 9.7), if * present, and return any annotations inside the container. Container * annotations may be generated at compile-time to wrap multiple * annotations of the argument type. * *

The terms directly present, indirectly present, * present, and associated are used throughout this * interface to describe precisely which annotations are returned by * methods: * *

* *

The table below summarizes which kind of annotation presence * different methods in this interface examine. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Overview of kind of presence detected by different AnnotatedElement methods

* *

For an invocation of {@code get[Declared]AnnotationsByType( Class < * T >)}, the order of annotations which are directly or indirectly * present on an element E is computed as if indirectly present * annotations on E are directly present on E in place * of their container annotation, in the order in which they appear in * the value element of the container annotation. * *

There are several compatibility concerns to keep in mind if an * annotation type T is originally not repeatable and * later modified to be repeatable. * * The containing annotation type for T is TC. * *

* *

If an annotation returned by a method in this interface contains * (directly or indirectly) a {@link Class}-valued member referring to * a class that is not accessible in this VM, attempting to read the class * by calling the relevant Class-returning method on the returned annotation * will result in a {@link TypeNotPresentException}. * *

Similarly, attempting to read an enum-valued member will result in * a {@link EnumConstantNotPresentException} if the enum constant in the * annotation is no longer present in the enum type. * *

If an annotation type T is (meta-)annotated with an * {@code @Repeatable} annotation whose value element indicates a type * TC, but TC does not declare a {@code value()} method * with a return type of T{@code []}, then an exception of type * {@link java.lang.annotation.AnnotationFormatError} is thrown. * *

Finally, attempting to read a member whose definition has evolved * incompatibly will result in a {@link * java.lang.annotation.AnnotationTypeMismatchException} or an * {@link java.lang.annotation.IncompleteAnnotationException}. * * @see java.lang.EnumConstantNotPresentException * @see java.lang.TypeNotPresentException * @see AnnotationFormatError * @see java.lang.annotation.AnnotationTypeMismatchException * @see java.lang.annotation.IncompleteAnnotationException * @since 1.5 * @author Josh Bloch */ public interface AnnotatedElement { /** * Returns true if an annotation for the specified type * is present on this element, else false.
