Question

I have package :

com.google.*.*.*

There may be many subpackages.

I have a Class foo.java

How to check if its inside the main package com.google

When I use Class.getPackage(), it gives only the whole package like this:
com.google.util.domain.sup

Must I really use functions like : substring() , split(). Or is there a fancy way to check if it belongs to certain parent packages?

Answer 1

Do you mean like…

if (getClass().getName().startsWith("com.google."))

if you need an exact match you can use

if (getClass().getPackage().getName().equals("com.google.util.domain.sup"))
