The getConstructor() method is used to get the public constructor in java.
Example
TestClass.java
package com.w3spoint; public class TestClass { private String message; public TestClass(String message){ this.message = message; } private void display(){ System.out.println(message); } } |
ReflectionTest.java
package com.w3spoint; import java.lang.reflect.Constructor; import java.util.Arrays; public class ReflectionTest { public static void main(String args[]){ try { Class c=Class.forName("com.w3spoint.TestClass"); Constructor<?> constructor = c.getConstructor(String.class); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(constructor.getParameterTypes())); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } |
Output
[class java.lang.String] |
