Kotlin provides a way to get runtime class of a generic type parameter with reified
keyword which can only be used with inline
functions. For example the following works:
inline fun <reified T> test() : T {
println(T::class.java)
}
However, I need a way of doing this in a non-inline function. Since the reified
keyword is not an option for non-inline functions, the following does not work:
fun <reified T> test() : T {
println(T::class.java)
}
Does Kotlin have a different method to solve this problem? I know taking the Class<T>
as a parameter can be a solution but I don't want to pass an extra argument to my function for this purpose.
A somewhat tricky solution:
inline fun <reified T> test() : T = testImpl(T::class.java)
private fun <T> testImpl(`class`: Class<T>) : T {
println(`class`)
// do something
}
In this solution you're actually passing a Class
instance but you are not doing it directly. Your invocation code will probably look like test<Xxx>()
.
If T
of test
can be inferred, you can use test()
directly, and the generic parameter is still passed correctly.
