Retrieving generic type and letter

Hi,
I have a generic class -
public class AAA <T extends BBB>implements Serializable From which I want to get its generic type (the easy part),
and the generic type letter representation (In this case - T).
Can I do this by reflection? If so how,
Otherwise - is there any way I can do that which doesn't involve parsing the class as text?
Thanks,
Sharon.

Class.getGenericDeclaration() should lead you to the letter T.
The actual runtime type cannot be obtained because of erasure.
If the class is under your control, you can play a trick:
add to the constructor(s) a Class parameter and pass the actual type
used.

  • 'ResourceDictionary' root element is a generic type and requires a x:Class attribute to support the x:TypeArguments attribute sp

    Error : 'ResourceDictionary' root element is a generic type and requires a x:Class attribute to support the x:TypeArguments attribute specified on the root element tag.
    Hi,
    I get this error when i include some namespaces in my ResourceDictionary to specify a Style for a custom control.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thx
    Stardusty

    Hi,
    That's the whole point. I don't want to use x:TypeArguments on a ResourceDictionary but the compiler says it needs it.
    And i don't know why.
    This code give no error:
    <ResourceDictionary
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:sys="clr-namespaceystem;assembly=mscorlib">  
    </ResourceDictionary>
    And by adding 3 namespaces it gives that weard error:
    <ResourceDictionary
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    xmlns:converters="clr-namespace:MyTime.View.Converters"

  • New instance of a generic type?

    Hello!
    I'm quite new to writing generics and I have this (possibly lame) question: how can I create a new instance of a generic type?
    Let's say that inside a class MyClass<T> I have a method with following interface, whose only purpose would be to return new instance of the generic type T: public T getInstance(); Inside this method, I tried the obvious way of getting that instance, that is return new T(); and I also understood why that cannot be done.
    However, Googling didn't really reveal any other ways of doing this, so I'm a little stuck. Could anybody please show me the light here?

  • Retrieving dynamic information from generic type

    Hi,
    I am aware that the dynamic information can be asked for via Object's getClass(). For instance,
    List<? extends Number> list = new ArrayList<Integer>;
    System.out.println(list.getClass());
    This would return `ArrayList' as an "actual" or "static" type for `list' object. I was wondering whether there is a way to retrieve dynamic type information from the Field object. For example, if we have the following class:
    public class MyClass [
    public List<? extends Number> someList = new ArrayList<Long>;
    and retrieve its instance field:
    Field field = MyClass.class.getField("someList");
    Is it possible to ask for its dynamic type, which is ArrayList after erasure, just as I mentioned in my first example?
    Thank you

    Thank you Stefan, that does the trick. Initially, I had read the API incorrectly as to what argument get() takes. Now my problem is, how do I replace the type parameter of a generic class with a type argument that I only know at the runtime having only an object of Class<?> c. That is to say,
    class MyClass<T> {
      public T someClass;
      public MyClass(T t) {
        this.someClass = t;
      public T getT() { return this.someClass; }
      public static void myMethod(Class<?> c) {
        MyClass<c> mc = new MyClass<c>(c.newInstance());
      private void someOtherMethod() { // access getT() }
    }I know `new MyClass<c>()' is illegal, but is there a way I can create an instance of MyClass having only Class<?> c? Or is this even possible? If not, what are the work arounds?
    Thank you

  • My firefox is not responding, i get a message (firefox is not interacting with windows) I have tried cleaning up cookies, catch etc nothing works. i have unenstalled and reenstalled, as soon as i type a letter firefox wont respond. Help.

    As soon as i type a letter in fire fox it stops working, i get (FIRE FOX IS NOT RESPONDING, WINDOWS IS NOT INTERACTING WITH FIREFOX) I have tried all i can and now give up. Ive cleared all cookies and catch, etc i have gone in to help and tried out instructions for the not responding but no luck. I have windows 7 and have not had problems in the past with firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled still no luck.

    go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
    ''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • Hi - When I go into Contacts and type a letter in the search bar to get to last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't correlate to the letter. My settings are fine.  Help ?

    Hi. When I go into my contacts and type a letter in the saerch bar to get to a list of last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't begin or end with the letter.  My Settings appear fine.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.  Cheers Bill

    The search bar is not designed to take you to names beginning with the letter you put in. If you want to do that, use the letters down the side. In the search bar, the device will return results for all contacts that have that have that letter in them. If you type a couple of letters of the name, you'll find what you want faster. Once you get used to how it works, it's quite efficient.
    Best of luck.

  • My keyboard on my 4s will not type the letter p or 0 in vertical/portrait position and the whole bottom row in horizontal sometimes does not respond

    My keyboard does not type the letter p or the number 0 in portrait/vertical position. And when I use the horizontal keyboard from time to time all functions on the bottom row do not work at all like the space bar, return key, etc. It has become a bit of a nuisance. I have just installed the 7.1 update but was having this issue prior. I have also had the glass replaced (not by apple) about a year ago with no issues until now. Is there anything I can do? I have not reset all settings. But I really don't want to have to do that because I doubt it will help.

    UPDATE
    Called HTC... No help, suggested factory reset ,which I didn't mind as I have no data on the phone yet, after reset must call *228 to reprogram. Did not work. Next suggestion, download a keyboard app, the free ones are crap. Why should I have to pay extra to make the device usable? I thought a working keyboard was apart of the initial $200.
    On my own I tried *228 option 2 which is some sort of roaming update. That did not work either.

  • Difference between fully-specified data types. and generic types

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between fully-specified data types and generic types.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    P.S.

    HI
    Generic table types
    INDEX TABLE
    For creating a generic table type with index access.
    ANY TABLE
    For creating a fully-generic table type.
    Data types defined using generic types can currently only be used for field symbols and for interface parameters in procedures . The generic type INDEX TABLEincludes standard tables and sorted tables. These are the two table types for which index access is allowed. You cannot pass hashed tables to field symbols or interface parameters defined in this way. The generic type ANY TABLE can represent any table. You can pass tables of all three types to field symbols and interface parameters defined in this way. However, these field symbols and parameters will then only allow operations that are possible for all tables, that is, index operations are not allowed.
    Fully-Specified Table Types
    STANDARD TABLE or TABLE
    For creating standard tables.
    SORTED TABLE
    For creating sorted tables.
    HASHED TABLE
    For creating hashed tables.
    Fully-specified table types determine how the system will access the entries in the table in key operations. It uses a linear search for standard tables, a binary search for sorted tables, and a search using a hash algorithm for hashed tables.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

  • I HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N"SE

    HAVE A MAC G5 WITH V10.4 TIGER OS, I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LETTER "N" ONLY WHEN I USE CAPS AND SHIFT KEYS DOSE IT TYPE THE LETTER "N". I HAVE CONNECTED A NEW KEYBOARD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

    You might look at "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane and see if somehow the lower case n has been inadvertently assigned to something.
    Probably the best solution would be to click the "Restore Defaults" button.

  • My iPad won't let me type and has a black square around and thing I touch

    my ipad won't let me type and has a blck square around anything I touch. Have done everything online so far...

    Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
    Restart - red slider, then boot up again
    Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
    Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
    Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
    Erase All Content -   same as above
    Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
    You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
    So, firs thing to try? Just power it down and then restart. If that fixes it, great; if not, move along and try the rest of the steps in order.
