How to get class when have list of models and not just model in Java

Question

If I have class CalendarModel to get class I use CalendarModel.class . But how when I have list of model? Something like List < CalendarModel>.class

This is context in my app in which I need that: Android easy cache requires that thing https://github.com/vincentbrison/android-easy-cache

  DualCache<AbstractVehicule> cache = new DualCacheBuilder<AbstractVehicule>(CACHE_NAME, TEST_APP_VERSION, AbstractVehicule.class)
                                               .useDefaultSerializerInRam(RAM_MAX_SIZE)
                                               .noDisk();

How to write this if I want to cache list of AbstractVehicule?

EDIT: Maybe this is solution: (Class< List< AbstractVehicule >>)(Class<?>)List.class

I think you could just specify List.class?
