How to pass a java class as a reference at runtime?

Question

I want to pass a class as an argument to a function. But I have the string variable which contains name of that class.

Answer 1

This is the general method, you'll need to use a fully qualified class name.

myInstance.myMethod (Class.forName("fully.qualified.ClassName"));

Answer 2

Use static method of Class class

 yourMethod(other arguments,..., Class.forName("name of your class in string Formate.."));

this method return a Class class object for your class...
