Class Constant

java.lang.Object
  com.android.dx.rop.cst.Constant

All Implemented Interfaces:

ToHuman, Comparable<Constant>

Direct Known Subclasses:

CstAnnotation, CstArray, CstNat, TypedConstant

public abstract class Constant
extends Object
implements ToHuman, Comparable<Constant>

Base class for constants of all sorts.

Constructor Summary

Constant()

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Constant other) This compares in class-major and value-minor order.
protected abstract int	compareTo0(Constant other) Compare the values of this and another instance, which are guaranteed to be of the same class.
abstract boolean	isCategory2() Returns true if this instance is a category-2 constant, meaning it takes up two slots in the constant pool, or false if this instance is category-1.
abstract String	typeName() Returns the human name for the particular type of constant this instance is.

public Constant()

Method Detail

isCategory2

public abstract boolean isCategory2()

Returns true if this instance is a category-2 constant, meaning it takes up two slots in the constant pool, or false if this instance is category-1.

Returns:

true iff this instance is category-2

typeName

public abstract String typeName()

Returns the human name for the particular type of constant this instance is.

Returns:

non-null; the name

compareTo

public final int compareTo(Constant other)

This compares in class-major and value-minor order.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Constant>

compareTo0

protected abstract int compareTo0(Constant other)

Compare the values of this and another instance, which are guaranteed to be of the same class. Subclasses must implement this.

Parameters:

other - non-null; the instance to compare to

Returns:

-1, 0, or 1, as usual for a comparison
