Android reflection - Find inherited classes

Question

I want to create a list of all the names of the classes that Inherited from some super class.

For example: class A, class B extends A, class C extends A, class D. And if I search all the classes that inherited from A I will get a list that contains {B,C}.

How can I do that?

Can you explain why you want to do this? – Code-Apprentice Jun 20 '13 at 21:30 — Code-Apprentice, Jun 20 '13 at 21:30

This is a case of wrong assumptions embedded into a question. Java does not have the idea of a finite set of classes that make up a project, so you cannot ask for their subset.
