How to get string name of a method in java?

Question

How can I find out through reflection what is the string name of the method?

For example given:

class Car{
   public void getFoo(){
   }
}
         


        

Answer 1

Wait, since you already know the method name, can't you just type it as a string?

Instead of (pseudo) Class.methodName.toString(), just use "methodName".

Otherwise you can use Class#getDeclaredMethods() to get all the methods in a class
