Class getMethod() method in Java with Examples

public Method getMethod(String methodName, 
                    Class[] parameterType) 
       throws NoSuchMethodException, SecurityException

• methodName which is the Method to be get.
• parameterType which is the array of parameter type for the specified method.

• NoSuchMethodException if a method with the specified name is not found.
• NullPointerException if name is null
• SecurityException if a security manager is present and the security conditions are not met. Below programs demonstrate the getMethod() method. Example 1: Java

  // Java program to demonstrate getMethod() method
  
  import java.util.*;
  
  public class Test {
  
      public void func() {}
  
      public static void main(String[] args)
          throws ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException
      {
  
          // returns the Class object for this class
          Class myClass = Class.forName("Test");
  
          System.out.println("Class represented by myClass: "
                             + myClass.toString());
  
          String methodName = "func";
          Class[] parameterType = null;
  
          // Get the method of myClass
          // using getMethod() method
          System.out.println(
              methodName + " Method of myClass: "
              + myClass.getMethod(methodName, parameterType));
      }
  }
  

  Output:

  Class represented by myClass: class Test
  func Method of myClass: public void Test.func()
  

  Example 2: Java

  // Java program to demonstrate getMethod() method
  
  import java.util.*;
  
  class Main {
  
      public void func() {}
  
      public static void main(String[] args)
          throws ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException
      {
          // returns the Class object for this class
          Class myClass = Class.forName("Main");
  
          System.out.println("Class represented by myClass: "
                             + myClass.toString());
  
          String methodName = "func";
          Class[] parameterType = null;
  
          try {
              // Get the method of myClass
              // using getMethod() method
              System.out.println(
                  methodName + " Method of myClass: "
                  + myClass.getMethod(methodName, parameterType));
          }
          catch (Exception e) {
              System.out.println(e);
          }
      }
  }
  

  Output:

  Class represented by myClass: class Main
  java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Main.func()
