KYuki Reflection

Introduce

KYukiReflection is a reference to a variant of the Kotlin reflection API based on YukiReflectionopen in new window.

Background

This is a new API designed to use the Kotlin advanced reflection framework to complete related reflection tasks without changing the original YukiReflectionopen in new window.

By supporting more features of Kotlin such as keywords, functional programming, extended functions, generics and other features, KYukiReflection can perform reflection searches more accurately.

Usage

KYukiReflection is completely built from YukiReflection syntax, you can use KYukiReflection like YukiReflection.

It can also support the use of Java related class field methods and use a more user-friendly language to implement a more complete reflection solution.

Language Requirement

Please use Kotlin with YukiReflection. Part of the code structure of the API is also compatible with Java, but the implementation of basic reflection scenarios may not be used at all.

All Demo sample codes in the document will be described using Kotlin. If you don’t know how to use Kotlin at all, you may not be able to use YukiReflection.

Source of Inspiration

KYukiReflection is a summary and integration of Kotlin's poor and incomprehensible reflection. The project concept completely refers to YukiReflection. The same set of reflection API can be used in any Java and Android platform projects.

Now, we only need to write a small amount of code to implement a simple Kotlin-style reflection call.

With Kotlin's elegant lambda writing method and KYukiReflection, you can make your reflection logic more beautiful and clearer. Please note that with KYukiReflection, please replace or convert Class to KClass wherever possible. Class will be supported in the future, but if you use this API, please develop a habit of converting KClass.

The following example

"android.os.SystemProperties".toKClass()
    .function {
        name = "get"
        param(StringKClass, StringKClass)
    }.get().call("ro.system.build.fingerprint", "none")

Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties")
    .kotlin
    .staticFunctions
    .first {
        it.name == "get" &&
                it.valueParameters[0].type.jvmErasure == String::class &&
                it.valueParameters[1].type.jvmErasure == String::class
    }.call("ro.system.build.fingerprint", "none")
