对于那些想要Java 7中简单的代码示例的人:

狗类:

package com.mypackage.bean;

public class Dog {
    private String name;
    private int age;

    public Dog() {
        // empty constructor
    }

    public Dog(String name, int age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public void printDog(String name, int age) {
        System.out.println(name + " is " + age + " year(s) old.");
    }
}

ReflectionDemo类:

package com.mypackage.demo;

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class ReflectionDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String dogClassName = "com.mypackage.bean.Dog";
        Class<?> dogClass = Class.forName(dogClassName); // convert string classname to class
        Object dog = dogClass.newInstance(); // invoke empty constructor

        String methodName = "";

        // with single parameter, return void
        methodName = "setName";
        Method setNameMethod = dog.getClass().getMethod(methodName, String.class);
        setNameMethod.invoke(dog, "Mishka"); // pass arg

        // without parameters, return string
        methodName = "getName";
        Method getNameMethod = dog.getClass().getMethod(methodName);
        String name = (String) getNameMethod.invoke(dog); // explicit cast

        // with multiple parameters
        methodName = "printDog";
        Class<?>[] paramTypes = {String.class, int.class};
        Method printDogMethod = dog.getClass().getMethod(methodName, paramTypes);
        printDogMethod.invoke(dog, name, 3); // pass args
    }
}

输出: 米什卡3岁了。

你可以用这种方法调用带形参的构造函数:

Constructor<?> dogConstructor = dogClass.getConstructor(String.class, int.class);
Object dog = dogConstructor.newInstance("Hachiko", 10);

或者，您可以删除

String dogClassName = "com.mypackage.bean.Dog";
Class<?> dogClass = Class.forName(dogClassName);
Object dog = dogClass.newInstance();

,做

Dog dog = new Dog();

Method method = Dog.class.getMethod(methodName, ...);
method.invoke(dog, ...);

索引(快)

您可以使用FunctionalInterface将方法保存在容器中以索引它们。您可以使用数组容器通过数字调用它们，或者使用hashmap通过字符串调用它们。通过这个技巧，可以为方法建立索引，从而更快地动态调用它们。

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Method {
    double execute(int number);
}

public class ShapeArea {
    private final static double PI = 3.14;

    private Method[] methods = {
        this::square,
        this::circle
    };

    private double square(int number) {
        return number * number;
    }

    private double circle(int number) {
        return PI * number * number;
    }

    public double run(int methodIndex, int number) {
        return methods[methodIndex].execute(number);
    }
}

λ语法

你也可以使用lambda语法:

public class ShapeArea {
    private final static double PI = 3.14;

    private Method[] methods = {
        number -> {
            return number * number;
        },
        number -> {
            return PI * number * number;
        },
    };

    public double run(int methodIndex, int number) {
        return methods[methodIndex].execute(number);
    }
}

编辑2022

刚才我在想为你提供一个通用的解决方案，与所有可能的方法与变量数:

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Method {
    Object execute(Object ...args);
}

public class Methods {
    private Method[] methods = {
        this::square,
        this::rectangle
    };

    private double square(int number) {
        return number * number;
    }

    private double rectangle(int width, int height) {
        return width * height;
    }

    public Method run(int methodIndex) {
        return methods[methodIndex];
    }
}

用法:

methods.run(1).execute(width, height);

从通俗的角度来说，它应该是这样的:

java.lang.reflect.Method method;
try {
  method = obj.getClass().getMethod(methodName, param1.class, param2.class, ..);
} catch (SecurityException e) { ... }
  catch (NoSuchMethodException e) { ... }

参数确定你需要的非常具体的方法(如果有几个重载可用，如果方法没有参数，只给出methodName)。

然后通过调用调用该方法

try {
  method.invoke(obj, arg1, arg2,...);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { ... }
  catch (IllegalAccessException e) { ... }
  catch (InvocationTargetException e) { ... }

同样，如果没有.invoke中的参数，请省略。但是是的。阅读Java反射

使用import java.lang.reflect.*;

public static Object launchProcess(String className, String methodName, Class<?>[] argsTypes, Object[] methodArgs)
        throws Exception {

    Class<?> processClass = Class.forName(className); // convert string classname to class
    Object process = processClass.newInstance(); // invoke empty constructor

    Method aMethod = process.getClass().getMethod(methodName,argsTypes);
    Object res = aMethod.invoke(process, methodArgs); // pass arg
    return(res);
}

下面是你如何使用它:

String className = "com.example.helloworld";
String methodName = "print";
Class<?>[] argsTypes = {String.class,  String.class};
Object[] methArgs = { "hello", "world" };   
launchProcess(className, methodName, argsTypes, methArgs);

对我来说，一个非常简单和愚蠢的方法是简单地创建一个方法调用者，就像这样:

public static object methodCaller(String methodName)
{
    if(methodName.equals("getName"))
        return className.getName();
}

然后当你需要调用这个方法时，简单地输入如下内容

//calling a toString method is unnessary here, but i use it to have my programs to both rigid and self-explanitory 
System.out.println(methodCaller(methodName).toString()); 

对于那些在同一个类中调用非静态方法的方法，请参见下面的代码:

class Person {
    public void method1() {
        try {
            Method m2 = this.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("method2");
            m1.invoke(this);
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void method2() {
        // Do something
    }

}
