How to test whether the value of a Java field gotten by reflection is null?

Question

I have

Field f = this.getClass().getFields()[0];

I need to know if f\'s value in this is null or not

Answer 1

field.get(target) returns Object. So you can checkif (field.get(this) == null) {..}

If the field is primitive, it will get wrapped. int -> Integer, char -> Character, etc.
