How to get the subclass of a class by soot？

Question

I can get the superclass of a class by SootClass.getSuperclass(), but I don't know how to get its subclass.

Have I need to load the subclass first? There is no getSubclass() function. Thanks!

You need to use Scene.v().getHierarchy() or Scene.v().getFastHierarchy()

You cannot simply get "the subclass", because there can be many such classes, subclassing one specific class or implementing a certain interface.

I suppose, you would have to iterate over all classes in the scene and for each such class check if its superclass is the given class/interface.
