Annotation Type AutoValue.Builder

Enclosing class:

AutoValue

@Retention(CLASS)
@Target(TYPE)
public static @interface AutoValue.Builder

Specifies that AutoValue should generate an implementation of the annotated class or interface, to serve as a builder for the value-type class it is nested within. As a simple example, here is an alternative way to write the Person class mentioned in the AutoValue example:

  @AutoValue
  abstract class Person {
    static Builder builder() {
      return new AutoValue_Person.Builder();
    }

    abstract String name();
    abstract int id();

    @AutoValue.Builder
    interface Builder {
      Builder name(String x);
      Builder id(int x);
      Person build();
    }
  }
