The getGenericInterfaces() method of java.lang.Class class is used to get the type of interfaces directly implemented by this entity. This entity can be a class or an interface. The method returns an array of type of interfaces directly implemented by this entity.
Syntax:
public Type[] getGenericInterfaces()
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns an array of type of interfaces directly implemented by this entity.
Below programs demonstrate the getGenericInterfaces() method.
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // getGenericInterfaces() method   import java.util.*;   public class Test {     public static void main(String[] args)         throws ClassNotFoundException     {           // returns the Class object for this class         Class myClass = Class.forName( "Test" );           System.out.println( "Class represented by myClass: "                            + myClass.toString());           // Get the type of interfaces of myClass         // using getGenericInterfaces() method         System.out.println(             "GenericInterfaces of myClass: "             + Arrays.toString(                   myClass.getGenericInterfaces()));     } } |
Class represented by myClass: class Test GenericInterfaces of myClass: []
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate // getGenericInterfaces() method   import java.util.*;   interface Arr { }   public class Test implements Arr {       public static void main(String[] args)         throws ClassNotFoundException     {         // returns the Class object         Class myClass = Class.forName( "Test" );           // Get the type of interfaces of myClass         // using getGenericInterfaces() method         System.out.println(             "GenericInterfaces of myClass: "             + Arrays.toString(                   myClass.getGenericInterfaces()));     } } |
GenericInterfaces of myClass: [interface Arr]
