Unfortunately this does not work for multiple reasons:

• there are too much cases and i did not figure out how to handle them with both ParameterizedTypeReference and the old way
• CodeModel import generation is buggy with generic anonymous classes

However i am leaving this branch if anybody wants to continue.

might this #1489 help for the second point?

Yeah, i also thought about that. But i am stranded about the first. :(

could you elaborate on the issue? what cases do you mean? maybe we can find a solution together :)

Thanks for helping out! I really appreciate that.

In this class, there are lots of cases when arrays and generics are used together. There are two problems with my solution:

• for one of the cases i generate this List<Event>[].class, which is invalid
• i think the ParameterizedTypeReference is still not used in some cases where it could be

You can check out this branch and see for yourself. You have to upgrade the Spring Android version in the POM to 2.0.0.M2, and also have to add the Spring repo:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>spring-milestones</id>
        <name>Spring Milestones</name>
        <url>http://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

I'll try to take a look on it this weekend.

i fixed your branch: https://github.com/dodgex/androidannotations/commits/1440_restParameterizedTypeReference

Good job! Let's open a PR. However, we cannot merge that yet, since the List importing problem is still here. I really hope switching to phax/jcodemodel will solve that.

shall i open the PR from my branch?

Yes, please, so until that other people can comment.
