Java Reflection class get public inherited methods

Introduction

The following methods are available to retrieve fields of a class: 

public Field getDeclaredField(String name)  
public Field[] getDeclaredFields()  

public Field getField(String name)  
public Field[] getFields()

To get fields including inherited ones, use getFields() method instead.

Note that getFields() methods only return public inherited methods. 

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      Class c = Class.forName("java.lang.String");
      Field[] fields = c.getFields();
      System.out.println("No of fields : " + fields.length);
      for (Field f : fields)
         System.out.println(f);/*from   www .j a  v  a 2s. c  o  m*/
   }
}
