ClassNotFoundException Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name using:
  • The forName method in class Class
IllegalAccessException An IllegalAccessException is thrown when an application tries to reflectively create an instance (other than an array), set or get a field, or invoke a method, but the currently executing method does not have access to the definition of the specified class, field, method or constructor. 
InstantiationException Thrown when an application tries to create an instance of a class using the newInstance method in class Class, but the specified class object cannot be instantiated. 
InvocationTargetException InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor. 
NoSuchFieldException Signals that the class doesn't have a field of a specified name. 
NoSuchMethodException Thrown when a particular method cannot be found.

Summary

Public constructors

ReflectiveOperationException()

Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message.

ReflectiveOperationException(String message)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message.

ReflectiveOperationException(String message, Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

ReflectiveOperationException(Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Inherited methods

final void addSuppressed(Throwable exception)

Appends the specified exception to the exceptions that were suppressed in order to deliver this exception.

Throwable fillInStackTrace()

Fills in the execution stack trace.

Throwable getCause()

Returns the cause of this throwable or null if the cause is nonexistent or unknown.

String getLocalizedMessage()

Creates a localized description of this throwable.

String getMessage()

Returns the detail message string of this throwable.

StackTraceElement[] getStackTrace()

Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by printStackTrace().

final Throwable[] getSuppressed()

Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the try-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.

Throwable initCause(Throwable cause)

Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.

void printStackTrace()

Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.

void printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)

Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.

void printStackTrace(PrintStream s)

Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.

void setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace)

Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by getStackTrace() and printed by printStackTrace() and related methods.

String toString()

Returns a short description of this throwable.

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public constructors

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19
public ReflectiveOperationException ()

Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(Throwable).

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19
public ReflectiveOperationException (String message)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(Throwable).

Parameters
message String: the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method.

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19
public ReflectiveOperationException (String message, 
                Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

Parameters
message String: the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getMessage() method).

cause Throwable: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19
public ReflectiveOperationException (Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Parameters
cause Throwable: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the Throwable.getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
