Object getConstantValue()
final
field initialized to a compile-time constant. Returns null
otherwise. The value will be of a primitive type or a
String
. If the value is of a primitive type, it is
wrapped in the appropriate wrapper class (such as Integer
).
Note that not all final
fields will have
constant values. In particular, enum
constants are
not considered to be compile-time constants. To have a
constant value, a field's type must be either a primitive type
or String
.
