I am creating an instance of an object using Class.newInstance. The
java code I have is as follows:
Object newObj = null;
try
{
newObj = paramTypes[k].newInstance();
}
catch (InstantiationException e)
{
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File |
Settings | File Templates.
}
Now newObject should be a new object of what ever type parakTypes[k]
is. Which is a parameter passed on to a method. I'm invoking this
method later, but I need to know what kind of object newObject is to be
able to give it a value (through an on-screen editor that will be added
later).
I know I can do an
if (newObj instanceof String)
{
//Code to handle Strings
}
else
{
//Code to handle unknown types.
}
But what I want to do is to be able to figure out the type of
newObject, cast it to that type and edit it before it is used.
So if it is a String, an on-screen dialog box will present itself that
lets input a value from the keyboard, if it is a boolean, a combobox is
sufficient, etc (I dont need the code for the GUI, I know how to do
this :) ).
Very Best Regards,
