Class Reflector

java.lang.Object
org.robolectric.util.reflector.Reflector
public class Reflector extends Object
Provides accessor objects for efficiently calling otherwise inaccessible (non-public) methods.

This is orders of magnitude faster than using reflection directly.

For example, to access a private method on some class Foo, declare an accessor interface: 

 class Foo {
   private String getName() { ... }
 }

 @ForType(Foo.class)
 interface _Foo_ {
   String getName();
 }

 reflector(_Foo_.class, new Foo()).getName();
