How do I invoke a Java method when given the method name as a string?

I have 10 methods named: m1, m2, m3,…

like this:

public void m1(){
..
}

How do I invoke them with string in a ‘for’ loop?

I want to do this:

for (int i=1;i<11;i++){
   invoke('m'+i);
}

You need to use reflection to achieve this.

    Method method = getClass().getMethod(methodName);
    method.invoke(this);

So, you need to store your method names in an array and use this code piece to call those methods one by one.
