Field setInt() method in Java with Examples
setInt() method of java.lang.reflect.Field used to set the value of a field as an int on the specified object. When you need to set the value of a field of an object as int then you can use this method to set value over an Object. Syntax:
public void setInt(Object obj, int i)
throws IllegalArgumentException,
IllegalAccessException
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters:
- obj: which is the object whose field should be modified and
- i: which is the new value for the field of obj being modified.
Return: This method returns nothing. Exception: This method throws the following Exception:
- IllegalAccessException: if this Field object is enforcing Java language access control and the underlying field is either inaccessible or final.
- IllegalArgumentException: if the specified object is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field (or a subclass or implementer thereof), or if an unwrapping conversion fails.
- NullPointerException: if the specified object is null and the field is an instance field.
- ExceptionInInitializerError: if the initialization provoked by this method fails.
Below programs illustrate setInt() method: Program 1:
Java
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
{
Employee emp = new Employee();
System.out.println(
"Value of salary before "
+ "applying setInt is "
+ emp.salary);
Field field = Employee. class .getField("salary");
field.setInt(emp, 2243599 );
System.out.println(
"Value of salary after "
+ "applying setInt is "
+ emp.salary);
System.out.println(
"Value of uniqueNo before "
+ "applying setInt is "
+ emp.uniqueNo);
field = Employee. class .getField("uniqueNo");
field.setInt(emp, 123434 );
System.out.println(
"Value of uniqueNo after "
+ "applying setInt is "
+ emp.uniqueNo);
}
}
class Employee {
public static int uniqueNo = 234289 ;
public static int salary = 1125213 ;
}
|
Output:
Value of salary before applying setInt is 1125213
Value of salary after applying setInt is 2243599
Value of uniqueNo before applying setInt is 234289
Value of uniqueNo after applying setInt is 123434
Program 2:
Java
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
{
Numbers no = new Numbers();
Field field = Numbers. class
.getField("value");
field.setInt(no, 53266 );
System.out.println(
"Value after "
+ "applying setInt is "
+ Numbers.value);
}
}
class Numbers {
public static int value = 13685 ;
}
|
Output:
Value after applying setInt is 53266
