Question

Could anyone help me find the return type of a method in Java. I tried this, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. Please guide me.

Method testMethod = master.getClass().getMethod("getCnt");
    
if (!"int".equals(testMethod.getReturnType())) {
    System.out.println("not int ::" + testMethod.getReturnType());
}

Output :

not int ::int

Answer 1

The method getReturnType() returns Class

You can try:

if (testMethod.getReturnType().equals(Integer.TYPE)){ 
      .....;  
}
