Key Object-Oriented Concepts Supported by

Java
• Java is an object-oriented programming language
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
7

• Apps written in Java are organized in

terms of structural elements
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development

• Apps written in Java are organized in terms of structural elements

• e.g., classes, interfaces, & packages
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development

• An object is an instance of a class anObject : SomeClass

that performs certain operations
& interacts with other objects Class1 mField1
• An object in Java resides in a Class2 mField2
...
memory location of a computer
• It consists of void method1()
• State – represented via data fields void method2()
void method3()
• Behavior – represented via ...
methods
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development

• Objects often correspond to real-world anAccount : Account

entities
Money mCurrentBalance
boolean mOverdraftProtection
...

void deposit(Money amount)

void withdrawl(Money amount)
Money checkCurrentBalance()
...
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
18

• Non-object-oriented programming languages organize

apps in terms of functional elements
• e.g., actions & logic
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
19

• Object-oriented Java programs also Account

perform actions & contain logic
Money mCurrentBalance
boolean mOverdraftProtection
...

• void deposit(Money amount) void

withdrawl(Money amount) Money
checkCurrentBalance()
• ...
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
20

• Object-oriented Java programs also

perform actions & contain logic
• However, these functional elements
don’t constitute main focus in Java
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
71

• Classes & interfaces can be java

grouped into packages, e.g.
io
• java.lang contains classes lang util

fundamental to design of Java Integer ArrayList File

String HashMap FileInputStream
• java.util contains a collection Thread Vector FileOutputStream
… … …
of common reusable ADTs
• java.io contains classes that
provide operations on files

lang util io
Integer ArrayList File
String HashMap FileInputStream
Thread Vector FileOutputStream
… … …
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
16

• Java generics enable ADTs to be

parameters when defining classes,
interfaces, & methods
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
81

• Generics offer several benefits to package java.util;

Java programmers, e.g.
public class Vector<E> ... {
• Eliminate unnecessary code ...
duplication
e.g.,
• Ensure compile-time type safety
when operating on different ADTs Vector<Integer> vi = new
Vector<>();
Vector<Double> vd = new
Vector<>();

vi.set(0, 10); // Works

vi.set(0, 10.0); // Fails
vd.set(0, 10.0); // Works
vd.set(0, 10); // Fails
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
18

• The Java Collections Framework uses generic classes & interfaces extensively
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
19

• Java’s garbage collector automatically

reclaims & recycles memory that is not
in use by a program
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
20

• Garbage collection makes writing

many applications much easier
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
21

• Garbage collection makes writing

many applications much easier
• e.g., it abstracts steps associated
with manually tracking how long Java "xyx"
Heap
each object is used in an app String object eligible
for garbage collection
string1
String reference "abc"
variable
String object
string2 in use

String reference
variable

22

• Java exception handling separates Catches

method1()
“normal” app execution from IOException
“anomalous” app execution
calls
method2() throws JVM searches
up the call

Call Stack
IOException {…}
stack to find
calls exception
handler
method3() throws
IOException {…}
Throws
calls IOException
method4() throw
IOException {…}

Exception handling makes Java apps morerobust, understandable, & evolvable

JAVA OOP
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
24

• Java supports key object-oriented concepts, e.g.

• Data & control abstractions
Abstraction
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism

OOP

Polymorphism Inheritance
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development

Abstraction
Abstraction
• Abstraction is an essential part
of all object-oriented
programming languages
• It emphasizes what's important
OOP
& de-emphasizes what’s
unimportant at a particular
level of detail
Polymorphism Inheritance
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
26

• Java supports many abstractions, e.g.

• Data abstractions

39
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
27

Data abtraction

• Data Abstraction is the property by virtue of which only the essential details
are displayed to the user.

• Data Abstraction may also be defined as the process of identifying only the
required characteristics of an object ignoring the irrelevant details.

• The properties and behaviors of an object differentiate it from other objects of

similar type and also help in classifying/grouping the objects.
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
28

Abstraction is achieved by interfaces and abstract classes

1. An abstract class is a class that is declared with abstract keyword.
2. An abstract method is a method that is declared without an implementation.
3. An abstract class may or may not have all abstract methods. Some of them
can be concrete methods
4. A method defined abstract must always be redefined in the subclass,thus
making overriding compulsory OR either make subclass itself abstract.
5. Any class that contains one or more abstract methods must also be
declared with abstract keyword.
6. There can be no object of an abstract class.That is, an abstract class can
not be directly instantiated with the new operator.
7. An abstract class can have parametrized constructors and default
constructor is always present in an abstract class.

• A Java interface cannot be instantiated, but must be implemented by a class

• The class defines the interfaces methods & any necessary fields
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development

Abstract Class vs. Interface

Abstract Class Interface
Abstract keyword is used to create an abstract class and it Interface keyword is used to create an interface but it
can be used with methods. cannot be used with methods.

A class can extend only one abstract class. A class can implement more than one interface.

An abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract

An interface can have only abstract methods.

It can have public, private, static and protected access The methods are implicitly public and abstract in Java
modifiers. interface.
It doesn’t support multiple inheritances. It supports multiple inheritances.

It is ideal for code reuse and evolution perspective. It is ideal for Type declaration.
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
33

Encapsulation vs Data Abstraction

1. Encapsulation is data hiding(information
hiding) while Abstraction is detail
hiding(implementation hiding).
2. While encapsulation groups together data
and methods that act upon the data, data
abstraction deals with exposing the interface
to the user and hiding the details of
implementation.
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
34

Advantages of Abstraction

1. It reduces the complexity of viewing the things.

2. Avoids code duplication and increases
reusability.
3. Helps to increase security of an application or
program as only important details are provided
to the user.
 9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
35

Inheritance Abstraction
• OO languages enhance reuse by
allowing classes to inherit commonly
used state & behavior from other
classes OOP

Polymorphism Inheritance
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
36

Inheritance

• Super Class: The class whose features are inherited is known as super
class(or a base class or a parent class).
• Sub Class: The class that inherits the other class is known as sub class(or a
derived class, extended class, or child class). The subclass can add its own
fields and methods in addition to the superclass fields and methods.
• Reusability: Inheritance supports the concept of “reusability”, i.e. when we
want to create a new class and there is already a class that includes some of
the code that we want, we can derive our new class from the existing class.
By doing this, we are reusing the fields and methods of the existing class.

Type of Inheritance
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
39
• Java Collections Framework demonstrates capabilities & benefits of inheritance
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development

• The List hierarchy are collections
that maintain an ordering for
their elements

forthatInheritance
• Subclasses don’t explicitly Object
extend a super class implicitly
inherit from java.lang.Object, e.g. hashCode();
equals();
• java.lang.Process implicitly wait()
extends java.lang.Object notify();
• All instances of java.lang.Process notifyAll();
therefore also provide clients access …

Polymorphism Abstraction

• Polymorphism enables transparent OOP

customization of methods inherited
from a super class
Polymorphism Inheritance

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol4ym9 orphism_(computer_science)

9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
47

• The “open/closed principle” can be applied in conjunction with patterns to

enable extensions without modifying existing classes or apps
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
48
• Subclasses defined in accordance with the open/closed
principle can define their own custom behaviors that
are more suitable for a particular use case
• While still reusing structure
& functionality from super class
• e.g., Vector & ArrayList both <<extends>>
<<extends>>
inherit AbstractList methods

Methods in each subclass

emphasize different List properties
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
49
• Polymorphism in Java occurs when a AbstractMap<K,V>
reference to a super class is used to
refer to an object of a subclass …
• Subclass methods can override entrySet()
put()
super class methods

TreeMap<K,V> HashMap<K,V Concurrent

… … HashMap<K,V
entrySet() entrySet() …
put() put() entrySet()
put()
9/23/20 Mobile Application Development
50
// Create AbstractMap subclass
AbstractMap<K,V>
AbstractMap<Key, Value>
absMap = makeMap(mapType); …
... entrySet()
// Dispatch put() method put()
absMap.put(key, value);

TreeMap<K,V> HashMap<K,V Concurrent

… … HashMap<K,V
entrySet() entrySet() …
put() put() entrySet()
put()

The appropriate method is dispatched at runtime based on the subclass object
