Class TypeEvaluator

java.lang.Object

com.android.tools.lint.detector.api.TypeEvaluator

public class TypeEvaluator
extends java.lang.Object

Evaluates the types of nodes. It analyzes the flow and for example figures out that if you ask for the type of var in this code snippet:

     Object o = new StringBuilder();
     Object var = o;
 

it will return "java.lang.StringBuilder".

NOTE: This type evaluator does not (yet) compute the correct types when involving implicit type conversions, so be careful if using this for primitives; e.g. for "int * long" it might return the type "int".

Evaluates the given node and returns the likely type of the instance. Convenience wrapper which creates a new TypeEvaluator, evaluates the node and returns the result.

Parameters:

context - the context to use to resolve field references, if any

node - the node to compute the type for

Returns:

the corresponding type descriptor, if found
