Function isInstanceOf

Check if this_obj is instance of other. This uses the native java instanceof operator. You may want to use this if JavaClass.instanceOf is overridden, as that method itself does not override any method defined in the specific java class named 'instanceOf'.

Example

import { instanceOf, importClass } from 'java-bridge';

const ArrayList = importClass('java.util.ArrayList');
const list = new ArrayList();

isInstanceOf(list, ArrayList); // true
isInstanceOf(list, 'java.util.ArrayList'); // true
isInstanceOf(list, 'java.util.List'); // true
isInstanceOf(list, 'java.util.Collection'); // true
isInstanceOf(list, 'java.lang.Object'); // true
isInstanceOf(list, 'java.lang.String'); // false

// You can also use the instanceOf method (if not overridden)
list.instanceOf(ArrayList); // true
list.instanceOf('java.util.ArrayList'); // true
list.instanceOf('java.util.List'); // true
list.instanceOf('java.util.Collection'); // true
list.instanceOf('java.lang.Object'); // true
list.instanceOf('java.lang.String'); // false
