Returns

An array of field object.

Throws

Security Exception

Example 1

//import statements
import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      try {            
         ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1 obj = new ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1();
         Class class1 = obj.getClass();
       
         Field[] getfields = class1.getDeclaredFields();
         for(int i = 0; i < getfields.length; i++) {
            System.out.println("Field (" +(i+1)+ ")" + getfields[i].toString()); //get the field and convert into string
         }
      } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println(e.toString()); //print the exceptio object e
      }
   }

   public ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1() {
      // Default Constructor
   }

   public ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1(long l, int i , String p) {
       //parameterized constructor with 3 parameter
      this.l = l;
      this.i = i;
      this.p = p;
   }

   long l = 66788;
   int i = 8;
   String p = "javaTpoint";
}

Output:

Field (1)long ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1.l
Field (2)int ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1.i
Field (3)java.lang.String ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample1.p

Example 2

//import statements
import java.lang.reflect.*;
public class ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {            
          ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2 obj = new ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2(23);
         Class class1 = obj.getClass();
       
         Field[] getfields = class1.getDeclaredFields();
         for(int i = 0; i < getfields.length; i++) {
            System.out.println("Field (" +(i+1)+ ")" + getfields[i].toString()); //get the field and convert into string
         }
      } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println(e.toString()); //print the exceptio object e
      }
   }
 public ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2(int i) {
      // Default Constructor
      this.i=i;
   }
   public ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2(long l, int i , String p , float f , boolean b) {
       //parameterized constructor with 3 parameter
      this.l = l;
      this.i = i;
      this.p = p;
      this.f = f;
      this.b = b;
   }
   long l = 66788;
   int i = 8;
   String p = "javaTpoint";
   float f =  9 ;
   boolean b = true;
}

Output:

Field (1)long ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2.l
Field (2)int ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2.i
Field (3)java.lang.String ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2.p
Field (4)float ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2.f
Field (5)boolean ClassgetDeclaredFieldsExample2.b
