Determining the extended interfaces of a Class

Question

I need to determine if a Class object representing an interface extends another interface, ie:

 package a.b.c.d;
    public Interface IMyInterface extends a.         


        

Answer 1

Does Class.isAssignableFrom() do what you need?

Class baseInterface = Class.forName("a.b.c.d.IMyInterface");
Class extendedInterface = Class.forName("a.b.d.c.ISomeOtherInterface");

if ( baseInterface.isAssignableFrom(extendedInterface) )
{
  // do stuff
}
