How to get generic parameter class in Kotlin

Question

Firebase\'s snapshot.getValue() expects to be called as follows:

snapshot?.getValue(Person::class.java)

However I would like t

Answer 1

What you need is reified modifier for your generic param, you can read about it here. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/inline-functions.html#reified-type-parameters So if you do something like that:

inline fun T.logTag() = T::class.java.simpleName

you will get name of the actual caller class, not "Object".
