Can i type cast a interface to ArrayList? suppose there is a interface Named Node.
public interface Node
{
public static final short ELEMENT_NODE=1;
......
.....
}
i want to typecast this interface to ArrayList and fetch all the value.You can use hashtable object class etc.my main moto is to take a value in ArrayList and traverse it.
If I lets say have an interface Animal, and I create a lot of classes with a different animal name that implement the interface Animal. Then I create an ArrayList of Animal. Then I would put in lets say Dog class into the ArrayList, which has custom methods and data that the Animal Interface doesn't have, is this data ripped away except for the methods that are put in the Animal interface? So if I would cast the Animal back to Dog, would it retain all the data that existed before it was placed in the ArrayList?
I have stumbled onto a problem with ArrayLists (not sure if nested ArrayList objects would be a more accurate description) ....
As simply put as I can describe it, I have an Inventory class which creates an ArrayList of a Product superclass, which has two subclasses, PerishableProduct and ItemisedProduct.
By default, the program is meant to have a starting inventory, which is why I have added them in the constructor
public class Inventory { private List<Product> products; public Inventory() { addProduct(new Product("Frying pan", 15, 20)); addProduct(new PerishableProduct("Apple", 5.8, 30, 7)); addProduct(new ItemisedProduct("Cereal", 5.8, 0)); // this is where I am having problems. Wanting to add // objects to the ItemisedProduct's ArrayList for cereal. }
Within the ItemisedProduct subclass is yet another ArrayList which is meant to hold serial numbers.
public class ItemisedProduct extends Product { private ArrayList<String> serialNumbers = new ArrayList(); public ItemisedProduct(String name, double price, int qty) { super(name, price, qty)
[Code] .....
My problem is that I do not know how to populate the serialNumbers ArrayList from the Inventory class' constructor. Because technically, quantity is defined by how many serial numbers are created.
I have following code. In this code CSClient is an interface. All methods of CSClient are implementaed in CSClientImpl class. Do I not need CS Client Impl imported in this code ?
How can I call getBranch() of CSClient, which is not implemented in CSClient as " this. getCsClient(). get Branch (new CSVPath(vpath), true);" ? This code works fine without any error in eclipse.
How can a method getBranch(), which is implemented in CSClientImpl class be used in this code without importing CSClientImpl ?
Variables defined in interface are public static and final so I was thinking that we should not be able to override the variables in a class thats implementing the interface. But when I am compiling the below class, it compiles fine and gives the correct values. but when I did disp.abhi = 35; it gives a compile error (cannot override final variable)
interface display{ int abhi = 10; void displayName();
I'm having trouble understanding the concept of the interface Connection, and PreparedStatement.
1) The simplest way to put it is how is it possible that this code is creating Connection and PreparedStatement objects? I was always under the impression that interfaces cannot be instantiated, but rather implemented. For example I don't see "public class Prepared implements Connection", or "public class Prepared implements PreparedStatement", But I see "Connection con = null;" and "PreparedStatement pst = null;". So it seems as if the interfaces are being used to create objects called con and pst.
2) If in fact these interfaces are being implemented, where are the method blocks in this code that should have been added in order to fulfill the contract?
I am not getting the concept of interfaces.I know they are used to implement multiple inheritances.I also know the example that we create an interface car with certain methods so that a class like bmw which implements the car interface has to implement these methods.But I don't know how interfaces come handy?I don't know the meaning of a class calls a method using an interface?(i know that an interface can not be instantiated).
public class Someone { String name; int age; ArrayList <Someone> listarr = new ArrayList <Someone>(); public Someone(String name1, int age1) { name = name1; age = age1;

1. In the compare method, what happens when it returns one of the 0, -1, or 1? How does returning such values contribute to the sorting process? How does it take in information (like I know it does through the parameters, but how exactly)?
The program runs well , it adds the applet but it dosn't update the interface unless I press "_"(Minimize) . To be more clear , the object paints a spring wich goes through 4 stages , it is added to the JFrame but it dosn't uptade until I minimize the frame , that is when it goes to the next stage .
The main class which calls the spring to be added to the frame :
public class principal implements ActionListener ,Runnable{ JTextField field; JFrame frame; private class Action implements ActionListener { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) { frame.repaint();
I know whats the interfaces and abstract class and also know that difference between interface and abstract class,but here my doubt is eventhough abstract class more advantage than the interface,then why should we use interfaces and when?
I am supposed to implement a custom Map interface and I'm having some trouble with this method:
// 1. From the interface /** * Gives an iterator iterating over the key set from the smallest key that is not less than the key provided. * @param key the key * @return the iterator * @throws NullPointerException if key == null */
public Iterator<Key> tailIterator(Key key);
[Code] .....
My implementation is wrong according to a JUnit test. Also, to get a full score this method should have a worst case running time of O(log N), which obviously isn't the case now. (My Map implementation is currently based on binary search in an ordered array, keeping a prallel array for the values).
class Super { static String ID = "QBANK"; } class Sub extends Super{ static { System.out.print("In Sub"); } } public class Test{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println(Sub.ID); } }
According to me output should be "QBANK" In Sub...BECAUSE sub default constructor will call super() constructor.. below is the definition in jls which i am unable to understand ....
A class or interface type T will be initialized at its first active use, which occurs if:
T is a class and a method actually declared in T (rather than inherited from a superclass) is invoked.
T is a class and a constructor for class T is invoked, or T1 is an array with element type T, and an array of type T1 is created.
A non-constant field declared in T (rather than inherited from a superclass or superinterface) is used or assigned. A constant field is one that is (explicitly or implicitly) both final and static, and that is initialized with the value of a compile-time constant expression . Java specifies that a reference to a constant field must be resolved at compile time to a copy of the compile-time constant value, so uses of such a field are never active uses.
All other uses of a type are passive. A reference to a field is an active use of only the class or interface that actually declares it, even though it might be referred to through the name of a subclass, a subinterface, or a class that implements an interface.
I have the following code that will make linked list and order its elements using self referential objects. but i have the following error: incompatible types
required: ListNode<T#2> found: ListNode<T#1> where T#1,T#2 are type-variables: T#1 extends Comparable declared in method <T#1>insertInOrder(T#1) T#2 extends Comparable declared in class OrderedList
import java.util.*; public class ListNode<T> { ListNode<T> nextNode; T data; public ListNode(T item) { this(item, null);
I'm working with Libgdx but I have a basic java question. I'm trying to access the overridden methods from and interface in another class via a call but I'm not sure how. This is what I've got so far :
Java Code:
public interface Controller { public void show (); } public class MainActivity extends AndroidApplication implements Controller { @Override public void showAd(boolean show) { System.out.println("TEST");
[Code] ....
Right now this code returns a null pointer at the call.
I need to implement the attached interface ("Locality"). In the attached UML diagram it has a 1 on 1 relationship with the class "Team". I don't know if this can be somehow implemented in Java. Can I create the attribute "team" in the Locality interface and let it be used by the "Town" and "City" classes? Could it be better to implement it as an abstract class instead?
I am making an app that would allow user to buy seat either by Price or Choice (Row and Column). I have Original code where it runs within JAVA IDE I am making same thing but rather in GUI now. I need putting my Buttons, textfield, and area in organize fashion.
I have not explain how these buttons will behave or act but right now putting them in order is priority then I will add action listeners to do the task we intend to do. A Wire Frame of the code looks like this :
I have a task to create a Java OOP program, I have a class Team which requires a comparable and iterable interface, the only way I know how to do this is either:
public class Team implements Iterable <Mechanic> or public class Team implements Comparable <Mechanic>
I'm trying to create a GUI interface in Netbeans that calculates a phone bill.
I created a GUI interface that input: - Account Name. - Account Number. - Number of Minutes the phone was used. (with a textarea so the user input the minutes) - 2 JRadioButtoms so the user can chose the regular or premium service. - Amount Due (+10% taxes) (also with a textarea) - Clear/Enter/Result/Done Buttoms
And I need to output: - Account Name. - Account Number. - Number of Minutes. - Taxes - Total Amount Due.
I have a couple of math formulas I have to add them to output the above however I'm new to java so I don't know which code to use.
