How to check if java.lang.reflect.Type is an Enum

Question

I want to check whether a java.lang.reflect.Type instance represents an Emum object or not.

I can check whether it\'s an instance of a specific class us

Answer 1

Why don't you use .equals method to compare this type of comparisons. == is mostly used for primitive types.

type.equals(Enum.class)

or maybe you will need compare your own classes.

type.equals(MyClass.class)

Answer 2

Class.isEnum() will do it for you.

Refer to Oracle Doc

Answer 3

if(type instanceof Class && (Class)type.getClass().isEnum()) {...}

Answer 4

if(type instanceof Class && ((Class<?>)type).isEnum())
