getName

public final String getName()

Gets the name of this field or method.

Returns:

the name of this field or method

getFullyQualifiedName

public final String getFullyQualifiedName()

Gets the fully qualified name of this field or method.

the fully qualified name of this field or method

getOffset

public final int getOffset()

Gets the offset for the member. The semantics of the offset is different for each category of member:

Category	Meaning
static method	The index into the static method table of this class at which the implementation of the static method is located.
virtual method	The index into the vtable of this class at which the implementation of the virtual method is located.
static field	The offset (in words) from the address of the class's static field state at which the value of the static field is located.
instance field	The type-related offset from the address of an instance of this class at which the value of the instance field is located. For byte or boolean fields, the offset is in terms of bytes, for char or short fields, the offset is in terms of half-words and for all other fields, the offset is in terms of words (double and long fields are expressed as a pair of words).

Returns:

the offset for the member.

getDefiningClass

public final Klass getDefiningClass()

Gets the class that defined this field or method.

Returns:

the member's type

getModifiers

public final int getModifiers()

Gets the mask of access flags describing the access permissions and other properties of this member. The returned value will be a mask of constants defined in Modifier.

Returns:

the access flags for this member

toString

public final String toString()

Gets a String representation of this field or method.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.

isAccessibleFrom

public final boolean isAccessibleFrom(Klass klass)

Parameters:

klass - the class to test for accessibility

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Gets the hash code.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.
