Reflection dalvik.system.DexClassLoader.findClass() NoSuchMethodException

For method:

Ldalvik/system/DexClassLoader;->findClass(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Class;

that DexClassLoader inherits from ClassLoader

The following call to Class.getMethod() fails with a NoSuchMethodException:

Class.forName("dalvik.system.DexClassLoader")).getMethod("findClass",Class.forName("java.lang.String"))

I don't understand why this call fails. Unless I am missing something, the method is inherited and should be returned.

findClass is protected and will thus not be returned by getMethod(). Instead getDeclaredMethod() should be used, as it will also return private and protected access level methods.
