Get the class instance variables and print their values using reflection

by

You could do something like this:

public void printFields(Object obj) throws Exception {
    Class<?> objClass = obj.getClass();

    Field[] fields = objClass.getFields();
    for(Field field : fields) {
        String name = field.getName();
        Object value = field.get(obj);

        System.out.println(name + ": " + value.toString());
    }
}

This would only print the public fields, to print private fields use class.getDeclaredFields recursively.

Or if you would extend the class:

public String toString() {
    try {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        Class<?> objClass = this.getClass();

        Field[] fields = objClass.getFields();
        for(Field field : fields) {
            String name = field.getName();
            Object value = field.get(this);

            sb.append(name + ": " + value.toString() + "\n");
        }

        return sb.toString();
    } catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}
