Here we are going to write a program, how to get the Field Information using Java Reflection mechanism.

Get Field Information :

[java]

package com.onlinetutorialspoint.ref;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class Reflection_Class_field_Info {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (args.length == 0) {
            System.out.println("PLEASE PASS THE CLASS NAME..!");
        } else {
            try {
                Class c = Class.forName(args[0]);
                printFields(c);
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
                System.out.println(args[0] + "NOT FOUND…");
            }
        }
    }
    static void printFields(Class c) {
        Field f[] = c.getFields();
        System.out.println("NUMBER OF FIELDS : " + f.length);
        for (int i = 0; i < f.length; i++) {
            String fname = f[i].getName();
            Class s = f[i].getType();
            String ftype = s.getName();
            System.out.println(ftype + " " + fname);
        }
    }
    
}

[/java]

Output :

javac Reflection_Class_field_Info.java
java Reflection_Class_field_Info 

java.lang.reflect.Field
NUMBER OF FIELDS : 2
int PUBLIC
int DECLARED
