Convert java.lang.reflect.Type to Class clazz

Question

How can I convert java.lang.reflect.Type to Class clazz?

If I have one method as next which has an argument of Class

Answer 1

You have to ensure that type is an instance of Class, and then cast it.

if (type instanceof Class) {
  Class clazz = (Class) type;
  otherMethod(clazz);
}

Of course, you also have to handle the case of it not being a Class.
