Getting a class by its name

Question

If I have an Activity class called TestActivity in my application, there is a way to get its class by its name, as in this example:

Class<?> c = getClassByName("TestActivity"); 

Answer 1

use forName instead.

something like that..

 Class<?> act = Class.forName("com.bla.TestActivity"); 

Answer 2

The Class.forName class has exceptions on it. This is just to expand this problem to solve this problem.

 try { t = Class.forName("com.package.classname"); } catch (Exception ignored){}
