You can get the collection types or generic types binding using the ParameterizedTypeReference .

The purpose of this class is to enable capturing and passing a generic Type.In order to capture the generic type and retain it at runtime, you need to create a subclass (ideally as anonymous inline class) as follows:

ParameterizedTypeReference<List<String>> typeRef = new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<String>>() {};
