Question

public class A{
    private int getC(){
        return 0;
    }
}

public class B extends A{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        B = new B();
        //here I need to invoke getC()
    }
}

Can you please tell me if it is possible to do sush thing via reflection in java?

Answer 1

class A{
    
    private void a(){
        System.out.println("private of A called");
    }
}

class B extends A{
    
    public void callAa(){
        try {
            System.out.println(Arrays.toString(getClass().getSuperclass().getMethods()));
            Method m = getClass().getSuperclass().getDeclaredMethod("a", new Class<?>[]{});
            m.setAccessible(true);
            m.invoke(this, (Object[])null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

EDIT:
This is quiet an old post but adding a few nuggets of advice

Reconsider your design

Calling private method of parent, though possible through Reflection, but should not be done. Calling private methods on parent might leave the class in invalid state and may lead to unexpected behaviors.
