How to create a Class of primitive array?

Question

This question is derived from: How to get this Method object via reflection?

I'm trying to do the following:

Class c1 = Class.forName("[Ljava.lang.Integer;"); // works fine
Class c1 = Class.forName("[Lint;"); // doesn't work, since it's primitive

What is the workaround? int[].class is the only solution?

Answer 1

Class c1 = Class.forName("[I");

See javadoc of Class.getName() for details.
