Question

I need to get the Class of an object at runtime.

For an non-abstract class I could do something like:

public class MyNoneAbstract{     public static Class MYNONEABSTRACT_CLASS = new MyNoneAbstract().getClass(); 

But for an abstract class this does NOT work (always gives me Object)

public abstract class MyAbstract{     public static Class MYABSTRACT_CLASS = MyAbstract.class.getClass(); 

This code will be running in JavaME environments.

Answer 1

You just need

MyAbstract.class 

That expression returns the Class object representing MyAbstract.
