Constructor Details

TypeReference

public 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;
