Class Type

public class Type extends Object

This class represents the GLib Runtime type identification and management system. It provides the facilities for registering and managing all fundamental data types. It should be for internal use only and not be exposed outside of the library.

Constructor Summary
	Type(int handle) Construct a new Type from a integer that represents the type.
	Type(String name) Construct a Type by its' name.

Method Summary
static Type	BOOLEAN() Return a Type instance initialized as BOOLEAN.
static Type	BOXED() Return a Type instance initialized as BOXED.
static Type	CHAR() Return a Type instance initialized as CHAR.
static Type	DOUBLE() Return a Type instance initialized as DOUBLE.
static Type	FLAGS() Return a Type instance initialized as FLAGS.
static Type	FLOAT() Return a Type instance initialized as FLOAT.
int	getTypeHandle() Returns the unique identifyer used to identify a type in the native libraries.
static Type	INT() Return a Type instance initialized as INT.
static Type	INTERFACE() Return a Type instance initialized as INTERFACE.
static Type	INVALID() Return a Type instance initialized as INVALID.
static Type	JAVA_OBJECT() Return a Type instance initialized as JAVA_OBJECT.
static Type	LONG() Return a Type instance initialized as LONG.
static Type	NONE() Return a Type instance initialized as NONE.
static Type	OBJECT() Return a Type instance initialized as OBJECT.
static Type	PARAM() Return a Type instance initialized as PARAM.
static Type	PIXBUF() Return a Type instance initialized as PIXBUF.
static Type	STRING() Return a Type instance initialized as STRING.
boolean	typeEquals(Type aType) Compares a Type with the current object.
boolean	typeIsA(Type aType) Determine if the `Type` parameter is a derivable type, checking whether this `Type` object is a descendant of the `Type` parameter.

PIXBUF

public static final Type PIXBUF()

Deprecated: As of libgtk-java 2.8.5, this method has been replaced by getType. Future major version releases will have this method removed, please use with caution.

Return a Type instance initialized as PIXBUF.

STRING

public static final Type STRING()

Return a Type instance initialized as STRING.

typeEquals

public boolean typeEquals(Type aType)

Compares a Type with the current object.

typeIsA

public boolean typeIsA(Type aType)

Determine if the Type parameter is a derivable type, checking whether this Type object is a descendant of the Type parameter. If the Type parameter is an interface, check whether this Type object conforms to it.

Parameters: aType the Type to compare this Type with.

Returns: true if this type is equal or descendant of aType, false otherwise.
