How to get method descriptor?

[DLochmelis33]

I have a JavaSootMethod. I want its descrptor like methodName(Ljava/lang/String;). How do I get it? Didn't find a solution to this in the docs

[swissiety]

you can get its MethodSignature via .getSignature()

[DLochmelis33]

Sure, but this only lets me to getParameterTypes(), and then Type does not have a getDescriptor() or similar. Notice how I need not the FQNs of parameters, but the proper descriptors

Not that I am aware of but if you want to implement something like that you may have a look into the AsmUtil class where the transformation from descriptor to Type happens. You can implement an AbstractTypeVisitor to do the "reverse transformation" for each Type. We will be happy to incorporate a contribution :)
