Returns the value of this variable if this is a
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
.
Returns:
the value of this variable if this is a {@code final}
field initialized to a compile-time constant, or {@code null}
otherwise
