isPrivate
boolean isPrivate()
Determines if this object mirrors a private item. ForArrayType
, the return value depends on the array component type. For primitive arrays the return value is always false. For object arrays, the return value is the same as would be returned for the component type. For primitive classes, such asInteger.TYPE
, the return value is always false.- Returns:
true
for items with private access;false
otherwise.
-
isPackagePrivate
boolean isPackagePrivate()
Determines if this object mirrors a package private item. A package private item is declared with no access specifier. ForArrayType
, the return value depends on the array component type. For primitive arrays the return value is always false. For object arrays, the return value is the same as would be returned for the component type. For primitive classes, such asInteger.TYPE
, the return value is always false.- Returns:
true
for items with package private access;false
otherwise.
-
isProtected
boolean isProtected()
Determines if this object mirrors a protected item. ForArrayType
, the return value depends on the array component type. For primitive arrays the return value is always false. For object arrays, the return value is the same as would be returned for the component type. For primitive classes, such asInteger.TYPE
, the return value is always false.- Returns:
true
for items with private access;false
otherwise.
-
isPublic
boolean isPublic()
Determines if this object mirrors a public item. ForArrayType
, the return value depends on the array component type. For primitive arrays the return value is always true. For object arrays, the return value is the same as would be returned for the component type. For primitive classes, such asInteger.TYPE
, the return value is always true.- Returns:
true
for items with public access;false
otherwise.
