How This API Document Is Organized
This API (Application Programming Interface) document has pages corresponding to the items in the navigation bar, described as follows.
Overview
The Overview page is the front page of this API document and provides a list of all packages with a summary for each. This page can also contain an overall description of the set of packages.
Package
Each package has a page that contains a list of its classes and interfaces, with a summary for each. This page can contain four categories:
- Interfaces (italic)
- Classes
- Enums
- Exceptions
- Errors
- Annotation Types
Class/Interface
Each class, interface, nested class and nested interface has its own separate page. Each of these pages has three sections consisting of a class/interface description, summary tables, and detailed member descriptions:
- Class inheritance diagram
- Direct Subclasses
- All Known Subinterfaces
- All Known Implementing Classes
- Class/interface declaration
- Class/interface description
- Nested Class Summary
- Field Summary
- Constructor Summary
- Method Summary
- Field Detail
- Constructor Detail
- Method Detail
Each summary entry contains the first sentence from the detailed description for that item. The summary entries are alphabetical, while the detailed descriptions are in the order they appear in the source code. This preserves the logical groupings established by the programmer.
