    • getSignature

      DBusSignature getSignature()
      Gets the signature of this container type. The returned signature describes the container and its content.
      Returns:
      a DBusSignature

    • getDelegate

      Object getDelegate()
      Gets the wrapped value of this container type. The D-Bus type system is made of ASCII characters representing the value's type. Each D-Bus data type is mapped in this framework by its corresponding class. This method enables the access to the Java's data type - the delegate. If this container is for example a DBusArray, the returned object will be a List.
      Returns:
      an Object
