Method Detail

values

public static Visibility[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Visibility c : Visibility.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Visibility valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

ofElement

public static Visibility ofElement(Element element)

Returns the visibility of the given Element. While package elements don't technically have a visibility associated with them, this method returns PUBLIC for PackageElement instances.

effectiveVisibilityOfElement

public static Visibility effectiveVisibilityOfElement(Element element)

Returns effective visibility of the given element meaning that it takes into account the visibility of its enclosing elements.
