Get a Superclass from TypeElement without Generic?

I have a class:

public class StartPagePresenter extends AbstractPresenter<String> {
...
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Using Java annotation processing I got TypeElement

for a class:

TypeElement startPagePresenterType = // get the TypeElement of StartPagePresenter

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now I need to get the superclass that is executed with

startPagePresenterType.getSuperclass();

      

        
        
        
      

    

Then I tried to check if the superclass is of the correct type:

if ( !startPagePresenterType.getSuperclass().toString().equals(
     AbstractPresenter.class.getCanonicalName()) ) {
 ...
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Here's the problem: AbstractPresenter.class.getCanonicalName()

Leads to:

core.mvp.AbstractPresenter

      

        
        
        
      

    

and startPagePresenterType.getSuperclass().toString()

results in:

core.mvp.AbstractPresenter<java.lang.String>

      

        
        
        
      

    

When you compare these strings, they are never equal, although the superclasses are the same.

How do I get a superclass from a startPagePresenterType.getSuperclass()

non shared block?
