kotlin reflection get list of fields

Question

is there an equivalent for the java reflection foo.getClass().getFields() in Kotlin? I could only find that I can access a field when I know it\'s name, but I would

Answer 1

There is a method in Kotlin that works without having to add a new dependency in a project:

Suppose a custom class called Mine

class Mine(var prop:String) {
    fun myMethod():Boolean {
        return true
    }
}

A new user function called isMethod

fun isMethod(t:Any, s:String):Boolean {
try  {
    t.javaClass.getMethod(s)   // or t::class.java.getMethod(s)
    return true
  } catch(e:Exception)  {
    return false
  }    
}

After one declares an Mine instance and test it.

fun main() {
  var m = Mine("Paulo")  
  println(isMethod(m, "myMethod"))  // it prints true
  println(isMethod(m, "otherMethod"))  // it prints false
}
