    System.out.println("isInheritedClass(new B(), new A()):" + isInheritedClass(new B(), new A()));


    System.out.println("isInheritedClass(A.class, B.class):" + isInheritedClass(A.class, B.class));

    isInheritedClass(new A(), new B()):true

    isInheritedClass(A.class, B.class):true

    isInheritedClass(A.class, A.class):false
    isInheritedClass(B.class, A.class):false

你需要这样的方法:

boolean isList = List.class.isAssignableFrom(myClass);

在一般情况下，List(上面)应该替换为超类和myClass应该替换为子类

从JavaDoc:

确定此class对象表示的类或接口是否与指定class参数表示的类或接口相同，或者是否是类或接口的超类或超接口。如果是，则返回true;否则返回false。如果这个Class对象表示一个基本类型，如果指定的Class参数恰好是这个Class对象，则此方法返回true;否则返回false。

参考:

Class.isAssignableFrom(类)

相关:

a)检查一个对象是否是你在编译时知道的类或接口(包括子类)的实例:

boolean isInstance = someObject instanceof SomeTypeOrInterface;

例子:

assertTrue(Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c") instanceof List<?>);

b)检查对象是否是你只在运行时才知道的类或接口(包括子类)的实例:

Class<?> typeOrInterface = // acquire class somehow
boolean isInstance = typeOrInterface.isInstance(someObject);

例子:

public boolean checkForType(Object candidate, Class<?> type){
    return type.isInstance(candidate);
}

另一个选项是instanceof:

Object o =...
if (o instanceof Number) {
  double d = ((Number)o).doubleValue(); //this cast is safe
}

这对我来说很管用:

protected boolean isTypeOf(String myClass, Class<?> superClass) {
    boolean isSubclassOf = false;
    try {
        Class<?> clazz = Class.forName(myClass);
        if (!clazz.equals(superClass)) {
            clazz = clazz.getSuperclass();
            isSubclassOf = isTypeOf(clazz.getName(), superClass);
        } else {
            isSubclassOf = true;
        }

    } catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
        /* Ignore */
    }
    return isSubclassOf;
}

        if(Object.class.equals(superClass)) {
            return true;
        }

        for(; !Object.class.equals(clazz); clazz = clazz.getSuperclass()) {
            if(clazz.getSuperclass().equals(superClass)) {
                return true;
            }
        }
