Java Reflection - Field.getShort() Examples

Java Reflection Java Java API

Class:

java.lang.reflect.Field

Method:

public short getShort(Object obj)
               throws IllegalArgumentException,
                      IllegalAccessException

Gets the value of a static or instance field of type short or of another primitive type convertible to type short via a widening conversion.

Examples

package com.logicbig.example.field;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class GetShortExample {
    private short aShort = 3;

    public static void main(String... args) throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException {
        Field f = GetShortExample.class.getDeclaredField("aShort");
        short v = f.getShort(new GetShortExample());
        System.out.println(v);
    }
}

Output

Widening conversion:

package com.logicbig.example.field;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class GetShortExample2 {
    private byte aByte = 100;

    public static void main(String... args) throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException {
        Field f = GetShortExample2.class.getDeclaredField("aByte");
        short v = f.getShort(new GetShortExample2());
        System.out.println(v);
    }
}

Output

Static field example:

package com.logicbig.example.field;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class GetShortExample3 {
    private static short aShort = 5;

    public static void main(String... args) throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException {
        Field f = GetShortExample3.class.getDeclaredField("aShort");
        short v = f.getShort(null);
        System.out.println(v);
    }
}
