Are there Android compatible alternatives to Property Utils?

Viewed 4551

Is there a handy-dandy equivalent to org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils on Android?

I can't seem to use bean utils in my android app due to some dependencies on PropertyDescriptor,and IndexedPropertyDescriptor. So I'm wondering if there are any alternatives?

Basically all I want to do is use a method name as a string "someMethod" and feed that into setMethod(anObject, "someMethod", value), much like PropertyUtils does; but without having to resort to the nasties of reflection...

Or are my hands tied and I need to use Reflection?
