Reflection for Class of generic parameter in Java?
- by hatboysam
Imagine the following scenario:
class MyClass extends OtherClass<String>{
String myName;
//Whatever
}
class OtherClass<T> {
T myfield;
}
And I am analyzing MyClass using reflection specifically (MyClass.class).getDeclaredFields(), in this case I will get the following fields (and Types, using getType() of the Field):
myName --> String
myField --> T
I want to get the actual Type for T, which is known at runtime due to the explicit "String" in the extends notation, how do I go about getting the non-genetic type of myField?
