How to get concrete type of a generic interface

Question

I have an interface

public interface FooBar { }

I have a class that implements it

public class BarFoo implements Foo

Answer 1

You can grab generic interfaces of a class by Class#getGenericInterfaces() which you then in turn check if it's a ParameterizedType and then grab the actual type arguments accordingly.

Type[] genericInterfaces = BarFoo.class.getGenericInterfaces();
for (Type genericInterface : genericInterfaces) {
    if (genericInterface instanceof ParameterizedType) {
        Type[] genericTypes = ((ParameterizedType) genericInterface).getActualTypeArguments();
        for (Type genericType : genericTypes) {
            System.out.println("Generic type: " + genericType);
        }
    }
}
