Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.reflect.Constructor.getModifiers() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;

public class ConstructorDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      Constructor[] constructors = SampleClass.class.getDeclaredConstructors();
      for (Constructor constructor : constructors) {
         System.out.println("Modifier: " + Modifier.toString(constructor.getModifiers()));
         System.out.println("Constructor: " + constructor.toGenericString());
      }
   }
}

class SampleClass {
   private String sampleField;

   public SampleClass() throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException {
   }

   private SampleClass(String sampleField){
      this.sampleField = sampleField;
   }

   public String getSampleField() {
      return sampleField;
   }

   public void setSampleField(String sampleField) {
      this.sampleField = sampleField; 
   } 
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Modifier: public
Constructor: public com.tutorialspoint.SampleClass() throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
Modifier: private
Constructor: private com.tutorialspoint.SampleClass(java.lang.String)
