java - Checking if an object is an instance of a specific datatype given by a user -

i struggling checking if object instance of specific datatype, given user input. example:

object = new object(); string userdatatype = joptionpane.showinputdialog("what kind of datatype want check?"); if(object instanceof userdatatype)) dostuff();

i tried reflections still don't manage behind this...

thank in advance!

try comparing getsimplename() of class of object, returns unqualified class name (without bundle name).

object o; string userinput; if (o.getclass().getsimplename().equalsignorecase(userinput))

java class types
