I have a simple question. Is there a way ( using reflections I suppose ) to iterate all the static values of a class?
For instance
class Any {
static int one = 1;
static int two = 2;
static int three = 3;
public static void main( String [] args ) {
for( int i : magicMethod( Any.class ) ){
System.out.println( i );
}
}
}
Output
1
2
3
Thanks.
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
class Any {
static int one = 1;
static int two = 2;
static int three = 3;
public static void main( String [] args ) {
for( int i : magicMethod( Any.class ) ){
System.out.println( i );
}
}
public static Integer[] magicMethod(Class<Any> c) {
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
Field[] fields = c.getDeclaredFields();
for (Field field : fields) {
try {
if (field.getType().equals(int.class) && Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers())) {
list.add(field.getInt(null));
}
}
catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
// Handle exception here
}
}
return list.toArray(new Integer[list.size()]);
}
}
Hey.. it was very easy. :P
Field [] constants = Main.class.getFields();
Object some = new Main();
for( Field field : constants ){
if(Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers() ) &&
field.getType() == int.class ) {
System.out.println( field.getInt( some ) );
}
}
Your solution works for public fields but not private fields like you have in your example. If you want to be able to access the private fields of a class you need to use getDeclaredFields() instead of getFields().
