Abstraction example in java
Example 1: abstract class in java
Sometimes we may come across a situation where we cannot provide
implementation to all the methods in a class. We want to leave the
implementation to a class that extends it. In such case we declare a class
as abstract.To make a class abstract we use key word abstract.
Any class that contains one or more abstract methods is declared as abstract.
If we don’t declare class as abstract which contains abstract methods we get
compile time error.
1)Abstract classes cannot be instantiated
2)An abstarct classes contains abstract method, concrete methods or both.
3)Any class which extends abstarct class must override all methods of abstract
class
4)An abstarct class can contain either 0 or more abstract method.
Example 2: abstraction in java
Abstraction is defined as hiding internal implementation and showing only
necessary information.
// abstract class
abstract class Addition
{
// abstract methods
public abstract int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2);
public abstract int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4);
// non-abstract method
public void printValues()
{
System.out.println("abstract class printValues() method");
}
}
class AbstractMethodExample extends Addition
{
public int addTwoNumbers(int number1, int number2)
{
return number1 + number2;
}
public int addFourNumbers(int number1, int number2, int number3, int number4)
{
return number1 + number2 + number3 + number4;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Addition add = new AbstractMethodExample();
System.out.println(add.addTwoNumbers(6, 6));
System.out.println(add.addFourNumbers(8, 8, 3, 2));
add.printValues();
}
}
Example 3: abstraction in java
Abstraction is nothing but the quality of dealing with ideas rather than
events. It basically deals with hiding the internal details and showing
the essential things to the user.
Example 4: what is abstraction in java
Sometimes we may come across a situation
where we cannot provide implementation to
all the methods in a class. We want to leave the
implementation to a class that extends it.
In that case we declare a class
as abstract by using abstract keyword on method
signature.In my framework I have created my
PageBase class as super
class of the all page classes.
I have collected all common elements
and functions into PageBase class and
all other page classes extent PageBase class.
By doing so, I don't have to locate very
common WebElements and it provides
reusability in my framework.
Also
1)Abstract classes cannot be instantiated
2)An abstarct classes contains abstract method,
concrete methods or both.
3)Any class which extends abstarct class must
override all methods of abstract class
4)An abstarct class can contain either
0 or more abstract method.

Example 6: abstraction example in java
In my framework I have achieved abstraction
by using collections or Map, because it’s all interface.
Most of the cases I come across using List.
If we want to access elements frequently by using index,
List is a way to go. ArrayList provides faster access if we know index.
If we want to store elements and want them to maintain an order,
List is a better choice.
i) List webs = driver.getWindowHandles();
=>create a list first to store web URLs in list
ii) findElements evaluates multiple elements
so therefore will assigned to List
iii) To handle dynamic elements store it in the list and identify by index:
List all = driver.findElements(By.tagname(“”));
In my framework I follow POM and had situations
where some pages shared similar actions that were similar
but worked slightly different, so I was able to use abstraction
to define those actions and implement them in each page according
to what was needed for that webpage
