Example

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

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;

public class MethodDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      Method[] methods = SampleClass.class.getMethods();
      for (Method method : methods) {
         System.out.println("Modifier: " + Modifier.toString(method.getModifiers()));
         System.out.println("Method: " + method.toGenericString());
      }
   }
}

class SampleClass {
   private String sampleField;

   public String getSampleField() throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException {
      return sampleField;
   }

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

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