Get the imported classes' name of a class

Question

now I have a class looks like following:

package a.b.c;

import java.util.List;

public class FactObject {
    private double a;
    private double b;
    private List<String> c;
}

I know I could get the package name of this class by doing:

FactObject fo = new FactObject();
Class<?> c = fo.getClass();
String packageName = c.getPackage().getName();

But how can I get the imported class string, in this case, "java.util.List" ?

Thank you so much!

`import` statements are only relevant at compilation time. If you want to get the type of the field, use reflection. — Sotirios Delimanolis, Jun 01 '16 at 03:47
What is the use case for which you need the import class name? — Vishal, Jun 01 '16 at 03:48
@VishalKamat Because I need to record all the necessary information of a class into a string. This string will be used in our rules engine. — Cong Wang, Jun 01 '16 at 05:30

As you already use the class name directly in your code, the answer is given by FactObject.class.getName().
