Constructors

TypeReference()

Creates a new instance of TypeReference<T>. This class implements Super Type Tokens (Gafter's Gadget) as a way to get a reference to generic types in spite of type erasure since, sadly, Foo.class is not valid Java. To get the Type of Class Foo, use the following syntax: Type fooBarType = (new TypeReference>() { }).getType(); To get the Type of class Foo, use a regular Type Token: Type fooType = Foo.class;

Methods

getType()

Gets the referenced type.
