Generic producers and consumers in Java

I have this method to retrieve objects that are instances of a given class:

public class UtilitiesClass {

    public static final Collection<Animal> get(Collection<Animal> animals,Class<? extends Animal> clazz) {
        // returns the Animals which are an instanceof clazz in animals
    }
...
}

To call this method, I can do this:

Collection<Animal> dogs = UtilitiesClass.get(animals,Dog.class);

That's good, but I also want to be able to call this method in the following two ways:

Collection<Animal> dogs = UtilitiesClass.get(animals,Dog.class);

or

Collection<Dog> dogsTyped = UtilitiesClass.get(animals,Dog.class);

I mean, I want to be able to store the results of the method in the dog collection or animal, because dog Class extends animal class

I'm thinking about something like this:

public static final <T> Collection<T> get(Class<T extends Animal> clazz) {
    // returns the Animals which are an instanceof clazz
}

But it doesn't work Any tips?

Edit: finally, use @ Rohit Jain to answer. This is the solution when calling the utilitiesclass method:

Collection<? extends Animal> dogsAnimals = UtilitiesClass.get(animals,Dog.class);
Collection<Dog> dogs = UtilitiesClass.get(animals,Dog.class);

Solution

Yes, you must make the method universal And when declaring type parameters, you should give limits:

public static final <T extends Animal> Collection<T> get(
                   Collection<Animal> animals,Class<T> clazz) {
}

However, when you add an animal from an animal set to a new set < T >, you must convert it to clazz type You need the class #isinstance (object) method and the class #cast (object) method
