Typically, this method will be called to obtain a different view or aspect of the current instance. This is quite similar to casting or using a super type or interface of this instance, but is not limited to inheritance or compile-time constraints. An instance implementing this method is not required to return non-
null implementations for the types, nor does it have to return the same instance any time. Also, it depends on the type and context whether the instance returned stays up to date or needs to be re-obtained for further use.abstract
Parameters
- type: Constructor<T>
- the type for which an instance shall be returned
Return Value
- T
- an instance that is assignable to the type or
null
