Member

public interface Member

java.lang.reflect.Member

Known indirect subclasses

Constructor<T>, Executable, Field, Method

Constructor<T>	`Constructor` provides information about, and access to, a single constructor for a class.
Executable	A shared superclass for the common functionality of `Method` and `Constructor`.
Field	A `Field` provides information about, and dynamic access to, a single field of a class or an interface.
Method	A `Method` provides information about, and access to, a single method on a class or interface.

Member is an interface that reflects identifying information about a single member (a field or a method) or a constructor.

Summary

Constants
`int`	`DECLARED` Identifies the set of declared members of a class or interface.
`int`	`PUBLIC` Identifies the set of all public members of a class or interface, including inherited members.

Public methods
`abstract Class<?>`	`getDeclaringClass()` Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.
`abstract int`	`getModifiers()` Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer.
`abstract String`	`getName()` Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.
`abstract boolean`	`isSynthetic()` Returns `true` if this member was introduced by the compiler; returns `false` otherwise.

Constants

DECLARED

Public methods

getDeclaringClass

Added in API level 1

public abstract Class<?> getDeclaringClass ()

Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.

Returns
`Class<?>`	an object representing the declaring class of the underlying member

getModifiers

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getModifiers ()

Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer. The Modifier class should be used to decode the modifiers in the integer.

Returns
`int`	the Java language modifiers for the underlying member

getName

Added in API level 1

public abstract String getName ()

Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.

Returns
`String`	the simple name of the underlying member

isSynthetic

Added in API level 1

public abstract boolean isSynthetic ()

Returns true if this member was introduced by the compiler; returns false otherwise.

Returns
`boolean`	true if and only if this member was introduced by the compiler.
