Java Method isBridge() Method

The isBridge() method of Method class returns true if this method is a bridge method; false otherwise.

Syntax

Parameter

No parameter is passed.

Returns

true if and only if this method is a bridge method as defined by the Java Language Specification.

Throw

Does not throw an exception.

Example 1

//import statement 
import java.lang.reflect.Method; 
import java.math.BigInteger; 
public class ReflectMethodisBridgeExample1  { 
  
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        try { 
            Class num = BigInteger.class; 
            Method[] mthd = num.getMethods(); 
            System.out.println("Bridge Methods  are"); 
            for (Method mthd2 : mthd) { 
                if (mthd2.isBridge()) { 
          System.out.println("Method: " + mthd2.getName()); 
                } 
            } 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            e.printStackTrace(); 
        } 
    } 
}

Example 2

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

public class ReflectMethodisBridgeExample2 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String nm = "java.util.Date";
    try {
      Class cls = Class.forName(nm);
      printMethods(cls);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
      System.out.println("Class not found.");
    }
  }
  public static void printMethods(Class cls1) {
    Method[] mthd1 = cls1.getDeclaredMethods();

    for (int i = 0; i < mthd1.length; i++) {
      Method m = mthd1[i];
      System.out.println(m.getName()+ " = " + m.isBridge());

    }
  }
}
