Can any one tell me What this line of code do? i learnt it in an android tutorial but could not understand it, could any one tell me the specifics of it?.
Class ourClass = Class.forName("com.prem.firsttry.STARTINGPOINT");
This method loads and links a Java class. Constructs a
Classobject and gives it to you. You can go ahead and make an Object out of it bynewInstance().Most popular use of such method is to check if a particular class exists and can be loaded (such as some JDBC driver). If not, this method throws exceptions. This also causes static initialization on the said class.
