Question

So I have an array of classes:

Class<?>[] classes;

And I populate that classes in my constructor:

public Sample (Class<?>[] classes){
this.classes = classes;
}

Then, I have a method that returns an instance of one of the classes depending on their index:

public Object getInstanceOfClassWithIndex(int index){
   return new classes[index];
}

Unfortunately that doesn’t work and causes a compile error. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You should call the newInstance() method to create an object of the class at a given index.

return classes[index].newInstance();
