[edit] Overview - Building Arrays Using Reflection
This Java example program shows how to use reflection to build Arrays.
[edit] Java Source Code
- Package: example.array
- File: ArrayCreate.java
package example.array; import java.lang.reflect.Array; import java.util.Random; public class ArrayCreate { public static void main(String args[]) { Object array = Array.newInstance(int.class, 3); printType(array); fillArray(array); displayArray(array); } private static void printType(Object object) { Class type = object.getClass(); if (type.isArray()) { Class elementType = type.getComponentType(); System.out.println("Array of: " + elementType); System.out.println("Array size: " + Array.getLength(object)); } } private static void fillArray(Object array) { int length = Array.getLength(array); Random generator = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis()); for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { int random = generator.nextInt(); Array.setInt(array, i, random); } } private static void displayArray(Object array) { int length = Array.getLength(array); for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { int value = Array.getInt(array, i); System.out.println("Position: " + i + ", value: " + value); } } }
[edit] What Result You Can Get
Run the program, you will get:
Array of: int Array size: 3 Position: 0, value: -496378247 Position: 1, value: 150903981 Position: 2, value: 2112539308
