java list 泛型类型,获取java.util.List的泛型类型

I have;

List stringList = new ArrayList();

List integerList = new ArrayList();

Is there a (easy) way to retrieve the generic type of the list?

解决方案

If those are actually fields of a certain class, then you can get them with a little help of reflection:

package test;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

import java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.List;

public class Test {

List stringList = new ArrayList();

List integerList = new ArrayList();

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

Field stringListField = Test.class.getDeclaredField("stringList");

ParameterizedType stringListType = (ParameterizedType) stringListField.getGenericType();

Class> stringListClass = (Class>) stringListType.getActualTypeArguments()[0];

System.out.println(stringListClass); // class java.lang.String.

Field integerListField = Test.class.getDeclaredField("integerList");

ParameterizedType integerListType = (ParameterizedType) integerListField.getGenericType();

Class> integerListClass = (Class>) integerListType.getActualTypeArguments()[0];

System.out.println(integerListClass); // class java.lang.Integer.

}

}

You can also do that for parameter types and return type of methods.

But if they're inside the same scope of the class/method where you need to know about them, then there's no point of knowing them, because you already have declared them yourself.
