Method Details- 
constantAnnotationConstantValueEntry constant()Returns the constant pool entry backing this constant element.- API Note:
- Different types of constant values may share the same type of entry
 because they have the same computational type.
 For example, AnnotationValue.OfIntandAnnotationValue.OfCharare both backed byIntegerEntry. UseresolvedValue()for a value of accurate type.
- Returns:
- the constant pool entry backing this constant element
 
- 
resolvedValueConstable resolvedValue()Returns the resolved live constant value, as an object. The type of the returned value may be a wrapper class orString.- API Note:
- The returned object, despite being Constable, may not describe the right constant for encoding the annotation value in a class file. For example,Characterreturned byAnnotationValue.OfChardescribes itself as aDynamicConstantPoolEntry, but it is actually backed byIntegerEntryin annotation format. Useconstant()for a correct constant pool representation.
- Returns:
- the resolved live constant value, as an object
