Getting the name of the currently executing method

To get the name of the currently executing method in Java, you can use the Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() method. This method returns an array of StackTraceElement objects, which represent the stack trace of the current thread. You can then get the name of the current method by accessing the getMethodName() method of the topmost StackTraceElement in the array.

Here's an example of how you can use this method:

String methodName = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName();

This code will get the name of the method that called the current method. If you want the name of the current method itself, you can use the second element in the array instead:

String methodName = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getMethodName();

Keep in mind that this method may not work correctly if the current thread has been modified in some way (e.g., by using the Thread.setStackTrace() method). In this case, you may need to use a different approach to get the name of the current method.
