Known direct subclasses

ClassNotFoundException, IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException, InvocationTargetException, NoSuchFieldException, NoSuchMethodException

ClassNotFoundException	Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name using: The `forName` method in class `Class`.
IllegalAccessException	An IllegalAccessException is thrown when an application tries to reflectively create an instance (other than an array), set or get a field, or invoke a method, but the currently executing method does not have access to the definition of the specified class, field, method or constructor.
InstantiationException	Thrown when an application tries to create an instance of a class using the `newInstance` method in class `Class`, but the specified class object cannot be instantiated.
InvocationTargetException	InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.
NoSuchFieldException	Signals that the class doesn't have a field of a specified name.
NoSuchMethodException	Thrown when a particular method cannot be found.

Common superclass of exceptions thrown by reflective operations in core reflection.

Summary

Public constructors
`ReflectiveOperationException()` Constructs a new exception with `null` as its detail message.
`ReflectiveOperationException(String message)` Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message.
`ReflectiveOperationException(String message, Throwable cause)` Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.
`ReflectiveOperationException(Throwable cause)` Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Throwable

`final void`	`addSuppressed(Throwable exception)` Appends the specified exception to the exceptions that were suppressed in order to deliver this exception.
`Throwable`	`fillInStackTrace()` Fills in the execution stack trace.
`Throwable`	`getCause()` Returns the cause of this throwable or `null` if the cause is nonexistent or unknown.
`String`	`getLocalizedMessage()` Creates a localized description of this throwable.
`String`	`getMessage()` Returns the detail message string of this throwable.
`StackTraceElement[]`	`getStackTrace()` Provides programmatic access to the stack trace information printed by `printStackTrace()`.
`final Throwable[]`	`getSuppressed()` Returns an array containing all of the exceptions that were suppressed, typically by the `try`-with-resources statement, in order to deliver this exception.
`Throwable`	`initCause(Throwable cause)` Initializes the cause of this throwable to the specified value.
`void`	`printStackTrace()` Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the standard error stream.
`void`	`printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)` Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.
`void`	`printStackTrace(PrintStream s)` Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
`void`	`setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] stackTrace)` Sets the stack trace elements that will be returned by `getStackTrace()` and printed by `printStackTrace()` and related methods.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a short description of this throwable.

From class java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

Public constructors

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19

 public ReflectiveOperationException ()

Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(Throwable).

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19

 public ReflectiveOperationException (String message)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(Throwable).

Parameters
`message`	`String`: the detail message. The detail message is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method.

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19

 public ReflectiveOperationException (String message, Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

Parameters
`message`	`String`: the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method).
`cause`	`Throwable`: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

ReflectiveOperationException

Added in API level 19

 public ReflectiveOperationException (Throwable cause)

Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Parameters
`cause`	`Throwable`: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
