I’m trying to use reflection to get the name of classes extending a sealed class, but I always get the name of the sealed class (ConnectionState). Here’s my code:

public sealed class ConnectionState() {
        var name = ConnectionState::class.simpleName ?: "null"

        object Isolated : ConnectionState()
        object Advertising : ConnectionState()  
        object Discovering : ConnectionState()
   }

Any advice?

use val name: String = javaClass.simpleName

[Ellen Spertus]

The symbol javaclass isn’t recognized.

Are you not running on the JVM?

I’m running on Android.

Sorry, it should be camel case: javaClass

It worked perfectly. Thank you!
