    <p>I've looked around for a solution with no luck, here's what I have and what I'm trying to achieve</p> <p><strong>Parent Class</strong></p> <pre><code>public abstract class MyAbstractParentClass{ private String privateParentField; protected String getPrivateParentField(){ return privateParentField; } public void setField(String value){ privateParentField = value; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Child Class</strong></p> <pre><code>public class MyChlidClass extends MyAbstractParentClass{ @Override public void setField(String value){ super.setField(value); } } </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to call the <code>MyChlidClass</code> 's <code>setField</code> method and then call the <code>MyAbstractParentClass</code> 's <code>protected String getPrivateParentField()</code> afterwords; </p> <pre><code>@Test public void f(){ Method[] m = MyChlidClass.class.getDeclaredMethods(); for (Method method : m) { System.out.println(method.getName()); } } </code></pre> <p>But this code above returns only declared methods in <code>MyChlidClass</code> without the parent class's <code>protected</code> ones, how could I access the protected method? any ideas? </p> <p>thank you very much in advance :)</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Here's the final solution for those interested</p> <pre><code>MyChildClass child = new MyChildClass(); chlid.setField("FOO_BAR"); Method getPrivateParentField = child.getClass().getSuperclass().getDeclaredMethod("getPrivateParentField"); getPrivateParentField.setAccessible(true); String result = (String) getPrivateParentField.invoke(child); System.out.println((String)result); //prints out FOO_BAR </code></pre> <p>PS : there are some exceptions you can either catch or add throws declaration for them;</p> <p>thanks again for your help</p>

    1. COUsing `Override` without anything to extend? And why you would like to override the setter method? Is it obviously nothing change from before?

    2. CO@Grazenezz : sorry i just forgot to write the extends, and this is just an example (simple enough) to make what i want to achieve clear, thanks for the pointer to the mistake :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
