Specifying generic collection type param at runtime (Java Reflection)

Question

I\'d like to get the generic type of a collection, using reflection, at runtime.

Code (JAVA):

Field collectionObject = object.getClass().getDeclaredF         


        

Answer 1

You can get the generic type of the field you read the object from with Field.getGenericType. Note that the field may be a raw type, be a rare type (generic but with a generic argument that is raw), use the type of the instance, use wildcards, etc.
