Access to private inherited fields via reflection in Java

Question

I found a way to get inherited members via class.getDeclaredFields(); and acces to private members via class.getFields() But i'm looking for private inherited fields. How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

In fact i use a complex type hierachy so you solution is not complete. I need to make a recursive call to get all the private inherited fields. Here is my solution

 /**
 * Return the set of fields declared at all level of class hierachy
 */
public static List<Field> getAllFields(Class<?> clazz) {
    return getAllFieldsRec(clazz, new ArrayList<>());
}

private static List<Field> getAllFieldsRec(Class<?> clazz, List<Field> list) {
    Class<?> superClazz = clazz.getSuperclass();
    if (superClazz != null) {
        getAllFieldsRec(superClazz, list);
    }
    list.addAll(Arrays.asList(clazz.getDeclaredFields()));
    return list;
}
