[Java.Interop.JavaTypeParameters(new System.String[] { "T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation" })]
public virtual Java.Lang.Object[]? GetDeclaredAnnotationsByType (Java.Lang.Class annotationClass);

override this.GetDeclaredAnnotationsByType : Java.Lang.Class -> Java.Lang.Object[]

Parameters

annotationClass
Class

the Class object corresponding to the annotation type

Returns

Object[]

all this element's annotations for the specified annotation type if directly or indirectly present on this element, else an array of length zero

Attributes

Remarks

Returns this element's annotation(s) for the specified type if such annotations are either <em>directly present</em> or <em>indirectly present</em>. This method ignores inherited annotations.

If there are no specified annotations directly or indirectly present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0.

The difference between this method and #getDeclaredAnnotation(Class) is that this method detects if its argument is a <em>repeatable annotation type</em> (JLS 9.6), and if so, attempts to find one or more annotations of that type by "looking through" a container annotation if one is present.

The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.
