Java abstract classes and methods

Can anyone please tell me any real time example of abstract classes and methods.
I want to know its real use. If anyone have ever used it for some purpose while programming please do tell me.

No please.. I just want to know if you have used it while programming. Like "an abstract class can be used to put all the common method names in it without having to write actual implementation code."That would describe an Interface better than an abstract class. Abstract classes usually have at least some implementation.
I want to know its usage in programming, not just a definition. I guess you understand what I am looking for.Yes, and I gave you one: java.util.AbstractList. It can be found inside the src.zip in your JDK directory and it is a pretty good example for an abstract class that provides some implementation and defines exactly what is necessary to make a full List implementation.

  • ABSTRACT class and method

  • Why does this abstract class and method work without implement it?

    hi,
    I have seen many times that in some examples that there are objects made from abstract classes directly. However, in all books, manual and tutorials that I've read explain that we MUST implement those methods in a subclass.
    An example of what I'm saying is the example code here . In a few words that example makes Channels (java.nio.channel) and does operations with them. My problem is in the class to make this channels, because they used the ServerSockeChannel class and socket() method directly despite they are abstracts.
       // Create a new channel: if port == 0, FileChannel on /dev/tty, else
       // a SocketChannel from the first accept on the given port number
    private static ByteChannel newChannel (int netPort)
          throws Exception
          if (netPort == 0) {
             FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream ("/dev/tty");
             return (fis.getChannel());
          } else {
    //CONFLICT LINES
             ServerSocketChannel ssc = ServerSocketChannel.open(); //<--I have never thought do that!! Anyway, how it is static method may work.
             ssc.socket().bind (new InetSocketAddress (netPort)); //<--but here, this method (socket) is abstract. WHY RETURN A SOCKET????????  this mehod should be empty by default.
             System.out.print ("Waiting for connection on port "
                + netPort + "...");
             System.out.flush();
             ByteChannel channel = ssc.accept();
             ssc.close();
             System.out.println ("Got it");
             return (channel);
       } I test this code and works fine. So why can it be??
    Also, I read that the abstract classes can't have static methods. Is it true???
    Please Help!!
    PS: i have seen this kind of code many times. So i feel that I don't understand how its really the abstract methods are made.
    PS2: I understand that obviously you don't do something like this: *"obj = new AbstractClass(); "*. I dont understand how it could be: ServerSocketChannel ssc = ServerSocketChannel.open(); and the compiler didn't warn.

    molavec wrote:
    ServerSocketChannel ssc = ServerSocketChannel.open(); //<--I have never thought do that!! Anyway, how it is static method may work.
    The static method creates an instance of a class which extends ServerSocketChannel, but is actually another non-abstract class.I thought that, but reading the documentation I saw that about open() method:
    Opens a server-socket channel.
    The new channel is created by invoking the openServerSocketChannel method of the system-wide default SelectorProvider object.
    The new channel's socket is initially unbound; it must be bound to a specific address via one of its socket's bind methods before connections can be accepted.
    ...and the problem is the same openServerSocketChannel is abstract, so i don't understand how it could return a ServerSocketChannel.There is a concrete implementation class that has implemented that method.
    I guess that really the open() method use a SelectorProvider's subclase but it doesn't appear in the doc.It doesn't need to. First, you don't care about those implementation details, and second, you know that if the class is abstract, it must use some concrete subclass.
    Ok, I speak Spanish by default (<-- this sounds like "I am a machine", ^_^' ). So, I didn't know how to say that the method would be {}. Is there a way to say that?? I recommendable for me to know, for the future questions o answers.Not sure what you're saying here. But the other respondent was trying to explain to you the difference between an abstract method and an empty method.
    // abstract method
    public abstract void foo();
    // empty method
    public void bar() {
    Which class does extend ServerSocketChannel? I can not see it.It may be a package-private class or a private nested class. There's no need to document that specific implementation, since you never need to use it directly.

  • Abstract Classes and Method

    Hi all,
    I want to appear for SCJP exam and studying for the same ,
    Can anyone tell whether concrete methods in an abstract class can be overridden by its subclass or not ... ???
    Thanks in advance ,
    Suvo

    Hai
    Actually the overridden concept is supported when the methods are default, protected, public with some constraints, not only when they are protected and public.
    The access specifier in the overriding method (in the derived class) should not be more limiting than that of the overriden method (in the base class). This means that if the access specifier for base class method is protected then the access specifier for the derived class method should not be default or private but can be protected, public. The order of increasing visibility of various specifiers is:
    default
    protected
    public
    Thanks,
    Hari

    To save you from the wrath of the Java experts on this forum, allow me as a relatively new Java user to advise you: do NOT post homework problems here; you're just going to get told to go google the answer. Which would be a good move on your part. Especially since I found the answer to your questions by googling them myself.

  • Call Java Class and Methods from ABAP

    Hi
    I install de JCo, But how i can call java class and methods from ABAP?. somebody has an example?
    The tutorial say that's is possible,  but don't explain how do that?
    Thanks.
    Angel G. Hurtado

    If you need only simple java program, you do not need to install JCo. The following codes can call java class.
    DATA: COMMAND TYPE STRING VALUE 'C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin\java',
          DIR TYPE STRING VALUE D:\eclipse\workspace',
          PARAMETER TYPE STRING VALUE 'Helloworld'. "here the name of your java program

  • Difference between abstract class and the normal class

    Hi...........
    can anyone tell me use of abstract class instead of normal class
    The main doubt for me is...
    1.why we are defining the abstract method in a abstract class and then implementing that in to the normal class.instead of that we can straight way create and implement the method in normal class right...../

    Class vs. interface
    Some say you should define all classes in terms of interfaces, but I think recommendation seems a bit extreme. I use interfaces when I see that something in my design will change frequently.
    For example, the Strategy pattern lets you swap new algorithms and processes into your program without altering the objects that use them. A media player might know how to play CDs, MP3s, and wav files. Of course, you don't want to hardcode those playback algorithms into the player; that will make it difficult to add a new format like AVI. Furthermore, your code will be littered with useless case statements. And to add insult to injury, you will need to update those case statements each time you add a new algorithm. All in all, this is not a very object-oriented way to program.
    With the Strategy pattern, you can simply encapsulate the algorithm behind an object. If you do that, you can provide new media plug-ins at any time. Let's call the plug-in class MediaStrategy. That object would have one method: playStream(Stream s). So to add a new algorithm, we simply extend our algorithm class. Now, when the program encounters the new media type, it simply delegates the playing of the stream to our media strategy. Of course, you'll need some plumbing to properly instantiate the algorithm strategies you will need.
    This is an excellent place to use an interface. We've used the Strategy pattern, which clearly indicates a place in the design that will change. Thus, you should define the strategy as an interface. You should generally favor interfaces over inheritance when you want an object to have a certain type; in this case, MediaStrategy. Relying on inheritance for type identity is dangerous; it locks you into a particular inheritance hierarchy. Java doesn't allow multiple inheritance, so you can't extend something that gives you a useful implementation or more type identity.
    Interface vs. abstract class
    Choosing interfaces and abstract classes is not an either/or proposition. If you need to change your design, make it an interface. However, you may have abstract classes that provide some default behavior. Abstract classes are excellent candidates inside of application frameworks.
    Abstract classes let you define some behaviors; they force your subclasses to provide others. For example, if you have an application framework, an abstract class may provide default services such as event and message handling. Those services allow your application to plug in to your application framework. However, there is some application-specific functionality that only your application can perform. Such functionality might include startup and shutdown tasks, which are often application-dependent. So instead of trying to define that behavior itself, the abstract base class can declare abstract shutdown and startup methods. The base class knows that it needs those methods, but an abstract class lets your class admit that it doesn't know how to perform those actions; it only knows that it must initiate the actions. When it is time to start up, the abstract class can call the startup method. When the base class calls this method, Java calls the method defined by the child class.

  • Abstract class and class

    What is the difference between abstract class and class in java?

    arcadesstuff wrote:
    Abstract class: a class that contains at least one abstract method. As has already been mentioned, abstract classes need not contain any methods at all. Have a look at the abstract class you posted; it's still abstract, though it contains no abstract methods. Note that if one declares any method of a class abstract, the class itself must be declared abstract as well.
    When you implement the abstract class Animal, you will have to write the code of those two abstract methods from above.Your example contains no abstract methods. Abstract methods must be marked with the keyword "abstract".

  • What is the difference between Abstract class and Interface ?

    Hi,
    Could u plz tell me the difference between Abstract class and Interface?
    Thanks in advance.
    Gopi

    Lots.
    An abstract class can contain some method implementations, or indeed all the method implementations. It may contain methods with all the various access modifiers. It cannot be instantiated. A class may inherit from only a single abstract class.
    An interface contains only public method stubs and constants. A class may implement multiple interfaces. An interface cannot (obviously) be instantiated.
    Abstract classes are particularly useful when you need to provide a semi-complete implementation for reuse. Interfaces are used more like types.
    Look at java.util.* for some good examples of the use of both.

  • What is the diff b/w Abstract class and an interface ?

    Hey
    I am always confused as with this issue : diff b/w Abstract class and an interface ?
    Which is more powerful in what situation.
    Regards
    Vinay

    Hi, Don't worry I am teach you
    Abstract class and Interface
    An abstract class can have instance methods that implement a default behavior. An Interface can only declare constants and instance methods, but cannot implement default behavior and all methods are implicitly abstract. An interface has all public members and no implementation. An abstract class is a class which may have the usual flavors of class members (private, protected, etc.), but has some abstract methods.

  • Could you please send me the material Opps concepts Classes and Methods

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on Opps concepts.I am new to this concept.
    Could you please send me the detailed presentation on Abap oops.
    Thanks inadvance,
    Regards,
    Rekha.

    Hi this will help u.
    OOPs ABAP uses Classes and Interfaces which uses Methods and events.
    If you have Java skills it is advantage for you.
    There are Local classes as well as Global Classes.
    Local classes we can work in SE38 straight away.
    But mostly it is better to use the Global classes.
    Global Classes or Interfaces are to be created in SE24.
    SAP already given some predefined classes and Interfaces.
    This OOPS concepts very useful for writing BADI's also.
    So first create a class in SE 24.
    Define attributes, Methods for that class.
    Define parameters for that Method.
    You can define event handlers also to handle the messages.
    After creation in each method write the code.
    Methods are similar to ABAP PERFORM -FORM statements.
    After the creation of CLass and methods come to SE38 and create the program.
    In the program create a object type ref to that class and with the help of that Object call the methods of that Class and display the data.
    Example:
    REPORT sapmz_hf_alv_grid .
    Type pool for icons - used in the toolbar
    TYPE-POOLS: icon.
    TABLES: zsflight.
    To allow the declaration of o_event_receiver before the
    lcl_event_receiver class is defined, decale it as deferred in the
    start of the program
    CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION DEFERRED.
    G L O B A L I N T E R N A L T A B L E S
    *DATA: gi_sflight TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF sflight.
    To include a traffic light and/or color a line the structure of the
    table must include fields for the traffic light and/or the color
    TYPES: BEGIN OF st_sflight.
    INCLUDE STRUCTURE zsflight.
    Field for traffic light
    TYPES: traffic_light TYPE c.
    Field for line color
    types: line_color(4) type c.
    TYPES: END OF st_sflight.
    TYPES: tt_sflight TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF st_sflight.
    DATA: gi_sflight TYPE tt_sflight.
    G L O B A L D A T A
    DATA: ok_code LIKE sy-ucomm,

  • Passing several fields to various classes and methods?

    Passing several fields to various classes and methods?
    Hi there.
    I have an application that allows a user to define a configuration and save it.
    The user can edit an existing configuration, add a new one, or delete an existing one.
    Once a configuration is selected the user then starts an application that relies on the selected configuration data. Each configuration holds around 60 fields.
    The configuration information is mixed between integers and strings. Around 25 are hidden from the user, and 35 can be modified by the user. The number of fields is not a fixed amount. For example the configuration contains an email-to list and the list for one configuration can have 1 address, and for another could have 10 addresses.
    I have decided to redesign using the Model View Controller concept. I am creating the model to hold the configuration information. I am trying to decide if I should have single get and set methods for each field or if I should create some kind of Object that holds all of one configuration and pass this back.
    The configuration that is selected does not really require the fields to be sorted in any particular order.
    What would you suggest is a good structure to use to pass the configuration information around?
    I have been using the Properties class with an .ini file that can be read and updated.
    Is this efficient? Doesn�t this impact the speed of processing if I have to read a file every time I want to determine what a particular configuration field is?
    Could I just create a class that reads the profile, stores the configuration information for one specific selected config, and then passes the class back to the calling procedure. This would consolidate all the file reading into one class and after that it is held in memory.
    Would it be better to read the configuration information into a collection of some sort , or a vector and pass this back to calling routine?
    public class MyModel {
         //read information to load the field of
         Private MyConfig selectedConfiguration = new MyConfig;
            Private int     selectedField1 = 0;
            /** Constructor */
         MyModel() {
              // open profile, read profile fields the
              selectedConfiguration.field1 = profileField1;  //assume this is 5
                    selectedConfiguration.field2 = profileField2;  //assume this is 10
              selectedConfiguration.field3 = �Test�;
                    field4ArrayOfStrings  = new String[selectedConfiguration.field1 ]
                                                                 [selectedConfiguration.field2];
              selectedConfiguration.field3ArrayOfStrings [0][0] = �First String�
         public class MyConfig(){
         int field1;
         int field2;
         String field3;
         String[][] field4ArrayOfStrings;
         // more stuff here �.
         // selectedConfiguration
         public void setConfiguration(MyConfig p_config) {
              String selectedConfiguration = p_config;
         public String getConfiguration() {
              return selectedConfiguration;
         //The other option is to have get and set for each field
         public void setField1(int field1) {
              String selectedField1 = field1;
         public String getField1() {
              return selectedField1;
    }Slight correction: reference to field3ArrayOfStrings changed to field4ArrayOfStrings.

  • Pls help me on finding info abt classes and methods....

    hi.. I'm new to java .. but i know the very basics of it.. so that i could write a couple of simple programs.. I've been working wit .NET all these days and MSDN library helps me a gr8 deal.. it gives explanation for every class and methods of the class, even explaining the parameters passed into the methods.. I'm currently workin wit J2ME for developing MIDlets... As i know the basics programming isnt very bad.. but where can i find the explanation for the classes used in micro edition or the methods that belong to the classes...
    Is there any facility like MSDN library for java where i can find the whole information...?????
    Pls help with....
    Thanks for ur patience...

  • When should I use abstract classes and when should I use interfaces?

    Can any body tell me in which scenario we use /we go for Interface and which scenario we go for abstract class, because as per my knowledge what ever thing we can do by using Interface that thing can also done through abstract class i mean to say that the
    behavior of the two class.
    And other thing i also want to know that which concept comes first into the programming abstract class or Interface.
    S.K Nayak

    The main differences between an abstract class and an interface:
    Abstract
    An abstract class can contain actual working code (default functionality), and can have either virtual or abstract method.
    An abstract class must be sub-classed and only the sub-classes can be instantiated. Abstract methods must be implemented in the sub-class. Virtual methods may be overridden in the sub-class (although virtual methods typically contain code, you still may
    need/want to override them). A good use for an abstract class is if you want to implement the majority of the functionality that a class will need, but individual sub-classes may need slightly different additional functioality.
    Interface
    An interface only contains the method signatures (method name and parameters), there is no code and it is not a class.
    An interface must be implemented by a class. An interface is not a class and so it cannot be sub-classed. It can only be implemented by a class. When a class implements an interface, it must have code in it for each method in the interface's definition.
    I have a blog post about interfaces:
