Throws

NullPointerException

Example 1

import java.util.Arrays;
public class ClassgetAnnotationsByteExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        Deprecated[] byteType = Classsub.class
                .getAnnotationsByType(Deprecated.class);
        System.out.println("    "  +Arrays.asList(byteType)); //print array byteType.
    }

    @Deprecated
    private static class Classsub {
    }
}}

Output:

[@java.lang.Deprecated()]

Example 2

 //import statements
import java.lang.annotation.Inherited;  //import inherited
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;   //import  retention
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;   //import  retention policy
import java.util.Arrays;  
public class ClassgetAnnotationsByteExample2 {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        Class1 obj = new Class1();
        Deprecated[] dep = Class1.class.getAnnotationsByType(Deprecated.class);
        System.out.println("  "   +Arrays.toString(dep));

        Annotation1[] ann = Class1.class.getAnnotationsByType(Annotation1.class);
        System.out.println("  "   +Arrays.toString(ann));
    }

    @Deprecated
    public static class Class1 extends SuperClass1 {
        Class1()
        {
            System.out.println("subClass Constructor Executing...");
        }
    }

    @Annotation1
    public static class SuperClass1 {
        SuperClass1()
        {
            System.out.println("MySuperClass Constructor Executing...");
        }
    }

    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
    @Inherited
    private static @interface Annotation1 {
    }
}

Output:

MySuperClass Constructor Executing...
subClass Constructor Executing...
[@java.lang.Deprecated()]
[@ClassgetAnnotationsByteExample2$Annotation1()]
