Class EntityQuery

  • public class EntityQuery
extends java.lang.Object
    Used to setup various options for and subsequently execute entity queries. All methods to set options modify the EntityQuery instance then return this modified object to allow method call chaining. It is important to note that this object is not immutable and is modified internally, and returning EntityQuery is just a self reference for convenience. After a query the object can be further modified and then used to perform another query if desired.
