Getting Local Class Status of a Class Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Class.isLocalClass() method. In this program, we've created an instance of ClassDemo and then using getClass() method, the class of the instance is retrieved. Using isLocalClass(), we've retrieved local class status and printed it.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ClassDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      ClassDemo c = new ClassDemo();
      Class cls = c.getClass();

      // returns the name of the class
      String name = cls.getName();
      System.out.println("Class Name = " + name);
     
      // returns true if and only if this class is a local class
      boolean retval = cls.isLocalClass();
      System.out.println("Is this LocalClass? " + retval);
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Class Name = com.tutorialspoint.ClassDemo
Is this LocalClass? false

Getting Local Class Status of ArrayList Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Class.isLocalClass() method. In this program, we've used class of ArrayList. Using isLocalClass(), we've retrieved local class status and printed it.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class ClassDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      Class cls = ArrayList.class;

      // returns the name of the class
      String name = cls.getName();
      System.out.println("Class Name = " + name);
     
      // returns true if and only if this class is a local class
      boolean retval = cls.isLocalClass();
      System.out.println("Is this LocalClass? " + retval);
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Class Name = java.util.ArrayList
Is this LocalClass? false

Getting Local Class Status of Thread Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Class.isLocalClass() method. In this program, we've used class of Thread. Using isLocalClass(), we've retrieved local class status and printed it.

package com.tutorialspoint;

public class ClassDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      Class cls = Thread.class;

      // returns the name of the class
      String name = cls.getName();
      System.out.println("Class Name = " + name);
     
      // returns true if and only if this class is a local class
      boolean retval = cls.isLocalClass();
      System.out.println("Is this LocalClass? " + retval);
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Class Name = java.lang.Thread
Is this LocalClass? false
