Get a view controller's class name as string

Question

If I have a UIViewController subclass, how can I get the class name as string? I've tried doing [vc class], but this returns a Class object, not an NSString.

Answer 1

NSStringFromClass

Returns the name of a class as a string.

NSString * NSStringFromClass (  
    Class aClass  
);

Answer 2

You can do something like this

NSString *strClass = NSStringFromClass([viewController class]);

Answer 3

Use the function:

const char * class_getName(Class cls)

as

class_getName ([vc class]);

Answer 4

you can do some thing like the following when you instantiate your object:

[[NSClassFromString(@"className1") alloc] init];
