Get generic type of class at runtime

Question

How can I achieve this?

public class GenericClass
{
    public Type getMyType()
    {
        //How do I return the type of T?
    }
}

Answer 1

If you have a class like:

public class GenericClass {
    private T data;
}

with T variable, then you can print T name:

System.out.println(data.getClass().getSimpleName()); // "String", "Integer", etc.
