Returns the Types representing the interfaces
directly implemented by the class or interface represented by
this object.
If a superinterface is a parameterized type, the
Type object returned for it must accurately reflect
the actual type parameters used in the source code. The
parameterized type representing each superinterface is created
if it had not been created before. See the declaration of
ParameterizedType
for the semantics of the creation process for parameterized
types.
If this object represents a class, the return value is an array
containing objects representing all interfaces directly implemented by
the class. The order of the interface objects in the array corresponds
to the order of the interface names in the implements clause of
the declaration of the class represented by this object.
If this object represents an interface, the array contains objects
representing all interfaces directly extended by the interface. The
order of the interface objects in the array corresponds to the order of
the interface names in the extends clause of the declaration of
the interface represented by this object.
If this object represents a class or interface that implements no interfaces, the method returns an array of length 0.
If this object represents a primitive type or void, the method returns an array of length 0.
If this Class object represents an array type, the
interfaces Cloneable and java.io.Serializable are
returned in that order.
java.lang.reflect.GenericSignatureFormatError
| if the generic class signature does not conform to the format specified in The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification | |
TypeNotPresentException | if any of the generic superinterfaces refers to a non-existent type declaration | |
java.lang.reflect.MalformedParameterizedTypeException
| if any of the generic superinterfaces refer to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason |
