Added in API level 34

public abstract String descriptorString ()

Returns the descriptor string for this TypeDescriptor object. If this TypeDescriptor object can be described in nominal form, then this method returns a type descriptor as specified in JVMS {@jvms 4.3}. The result descriptor string can be used to produce a java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc nominal descriptor. Otherwise, the result string is not a type descriptor. No java.lang.constant.ConstantDesc nominal descriptor can be produced from the result string.

Returns
String	the descriptor string for this TypeDescriptor object
