Get value of String variable via reflection

java, reflection

Solution

You need to call:

Object val = f.get(this);

OR to get String object:

String strval = (String) f.get(this);

to get field represented by f's value.

See: `Field#Get(Object)`

Also: `Getting and Setting Field Values`

Problem

I have a POJO with loads of Strings and I want an easy method to check if they are all empty / contain a certain character / whatever. I get the String variables with this: ``` Field[] fields = this.getClass().getDeclaredFields(); for (Field f : fields) { if (f.getType() == java.lang.String.class) { Log.d("REF", "Field: " + f.getName()); } } ``` but I don't know how to get the String value of the Field. How is it done?
