If you look at reflection also the Type of a field which is a primitive is
also Integer, Double, Boolean, Char, etc. For example;
Field[] f = someInstance.getClass().getFields();
for (int i = 0; i < f.length; i++) {
Object o = f[i].get(someInstance);
/* do something here */
}
if 'someInstance' has fields int, char, boolean etc the Object that
Field.get(Object instance) will return is the wrapper class of the
primitive.
