Question

I need to instantiate generic variable like Class>.
For example,

Class<? extends List<String>> = ...

Variant 1:

Class<? extends List<String>> clazz = LinkedList.class;

don’t work – “Incompatible types”.

Variant 2:

Class<? extends List> clazz = LinkedList.class;

work, but in this case List is a raw type – not good.

How to instantiate such variables?

Answer 1

List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();
Class<? extends List<String>> var = (Class<? extends List<String>>)myList.getClass();
