Get ParameterizedType from reified generic type for Moshi type adapter

The given assertion will fail due to the error

Failed to find the generated JsonAdapter constructor for class GenericType

How do I get the proper type from the reified type T for Moshi?

I could generate ParameterizedType manually with

Types.newParameterizedType(GenericType::class.java, String::class.java)

where GenericType::class.java is given with T:class.java. But I don’t know how to get the String type parameter to generify the approach.

inline fun <reified T : Any> adapter() =
    moshi.adapter<T>(type<T>())

inline fun <reified T : Any> type() =
    T::class.java

assert(adapter<GenericType<String>>() != null)

Note that the adapter is available for any GenericType<T>, just not for the actual class GenericType::class.java without generic information.

So the following genericType would find an adapter as long as I know about G:

inline fun <reified G : Any> genericType() =
    newParameterizedType(GenericType::class.java, G::class.java)

This G is what I'm looking to find in type(), as T::class.java is just GenericType::class.java there.
