Native

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• The @Native annotation indicates that a constant field can be accessed from native code.

• It serves as a hint for tools generating native header files, guiding the necessity and content of these files.

• @Native inherits methods from the java.lang.annotation.Annotation interface, such as annotationType(), equals(), hashCode(), and toString(), providing standard annotation functionalities.

public abstract @interface Native implements Annotation

Indicates that a field defining a constant value may be referenced from native code. The annotation may be used as a hint by tools that generate native header files to determine whether a header file is required, and if so, what declarations it should contain.

Inherited Method Summary

From interface java.lang.annotation.Annotation

abstract Class<? extends Annotation>	annotationType() Returns the annotation type of this annotation.
abstract boolean	equals(Object obj) Returns true if the specified object represents an annotation that is logically equivalent to this one.
abstract int	hashCode() Returns the hash code of this annotation, as defined below: The hash code of an annotation is the sum of the hash codes of its members (including those with default values), as defined below: The hash code of an annotation member is (127 times the hash code of the member-name as computed by String.hashCode()) XOR the hash code of the member-value, as defined below: The hash code of a member-value depends on its type: The hash code of a primitive value v is equal to WrapperType.valueOf(v).hashCode(), where WrapperType is the wrapper type corresponding to the primitive type of v (Byte, Character, Double, Float, Integer, Long, Short, or Boolean).
abstract String	toString() Returns a string representation of this annotation.
