java.lang.Object
- com.google.common.reflect.Invokable<T,R>

Type Parameters:

T - the type that owns this method or constructor.

R - the return type of (or supertype thereof) the method or the declaring type of the constructor.

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement, java.lang.reflect.Member
```
public abstract class Invokable<T,R>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement, java.lang.reflect.Member
```
Wrapper around either a Method or a Constructor. Convenience API is provided to make common reflective operation easier to deal with, such as isPublic(), getParameters() etc.
In addition to convenience methods, TypeToken.method(java.lang.reflect.Method) and TypeToken.constructor(java.lang.reflect.Constructor<?>) will resolve the type parameters of the method or constructor in the context of the owner type, which may be a subtype of the declaring class. For example:
```
 Method getMethod = List.class.getMethod("get", int.class);
 Invokable<List<String>, ?> invokable = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}.method(getMethod);
 assertEquals(TypeToken.of(String.class), invokable.getReturnType()); // Not Object.class!
 assertEquals(new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}, invokable.getOwnerType());
 
```
Note: earlier versions of this class inherited from AccessibleObject and GenericDeclaration. Since version 31.0 that is no longer the case. However, most methods from those types are present with the same signature in this class.
Since:

14.0 (no longer implements AccessibleObject or GenericDeclaration since 31.0)

    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if this Constructor object enforces Java language access control and the underlying method or constructor is inaccessible.
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the number of actual and formal parameters differ; if an unwrapping conversion for primitive arguments fails; or if, after possible unwrapping, a parameter value cannot be converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a method invocation conversion.

```
public final ImmutableList<TypeToken<? extends java.lang.Throwable>> getExceptionTypes()
```
    Returns all declared exception types of this Invokable.
  - returning
```

```
@Deprecated
@Beta
public abstract java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedType getAnnotatedReturnType()

    Deprecated.
    This method does not work under Android VMs. It is safe to use from guava-jre, but this copy in guava-android is not safe to use.
    
    Returns the AnnotatedType for the return type.
    This method will fail if run under an Android VM.
