In this example we shall show you how to use an anonymous class. To use an anonymous class we are using an interface and override its method when creating a new object, as described in the steps below:
- We create a new interface
AnonClasswith avoid call()method. - We create a new instance of
AnonClass, where we override itscall()method to print a message. - Then we call the call() method of the object created.
- The result is that the overriden method is used,
as described in the code snippet below.
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
public class AnonymousClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
AnonClass b = new AnonClass() {
@Override
public void call() {
System.out.println("You hit it!");
}
};
b.call();
}
interface AnonClass {
void call();
}
}
Output:
You hit it!
This was an example of how to use an anonymous class in Java.
