History

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 16

History
• James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the
Java language project in June 1991. The small team of sun engineers
called Green Team.
• 2) Originally designed for small, embedded systems in electronic
appliances like set-top boxes.
• 3) Firstly, it was called "Greentalk" by James Gosling and file
extension was .gt.
• 4) After that, it was called Oak and was developed as a part of the
Green project.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 17

Why "Oak" name

• 5) Why Oak? Oak is a symbol of strength and choosen as a national

tree of many countries like U.S.A., France, Germany, Romania etc.
• 6) In 1995, Oak was renamed as "Java" because it was already a
trademark by Oak Technologies.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 18

Why "Java" name

• suggested words were "dynamic", "revolutionary", "Silk", "jolt",

"DNA" etc
• According to James Gosling "Java was one of the top choices along
with Silk". Since java was so unique, most of the team members
preferred java.
• Java is an island of Indonesia where first coffee was produced (called
java coffee).
• Notice that Java is just a name not an acronym.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 19

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 21
Object-oriented
• Object
• Class
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Abstraction
• Encapsulation

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 22

Object
• Any entity that has state and behavior is known as an object. For
example: chair, pen, table, keyboard, bike etc. It can be physical and
logical.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 23

Class
• Collection of objects is called class. It is a logical entity.
• Blue print

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 24

Inheritance

• When one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of parent
object i.e. known as inheritance. It provides code reusability. It is used
to achieve runtime polymorphism.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 25

Polymorphism
• When one task is performed by different ways i.e. known as
polymorphism. For example: to convince the customer differently, to
draw something e.g. shape or rectangle etc.
• In C++, we use Function overloading and Function overriding to
achieve polymorphism.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 26

Abstraction

• Hiding internal details and showing functionality is known as

abstraction. For example: phone call, we don't know the internal
processing.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 27

Encapsulation

• Binding (or wrapping) code and data together into a single unit is
known as encapsulation. For example: capsule, it is wrapped with
different medicines.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 28

Advantage of OOPs

• OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in

Procedure-oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if
code grows as project size grows.
• OOPs provide data hiding whereas in Procedure-oriented
programming language a global data can be accessed from anywhere.
• OOPs provide ability to simulate real-world event much more
effectively. We can provide the solution of real word problem if we
are using the Object-Oriented Programming language.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 29

Platform Independent

• A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a

program runs.
• Java provides software-based platform.
• It is a software-based platform that runs on the top of other
hardware-based platforms
• It has two components:
• Runtime Environment
• API(Application Programming Interface)

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 30

Platform Independent
Java code can be run on multiple platforms
e.g. Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, Mac/OS etc.
Java code is compiled by the compiler and
converted into bytecode. This bytecode is a
platform-independent code because it can be
run on multiple platforms i.e. Write Once and
Run Anywhere(WORA).

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 31

Robust

• Robust simply means strong. Java uses strong memory management.

There are lack of pointers that avoids security problem. There is
automatic garbage collection in java. There is exception handling and
type checking mechanism in java. All these points makes java robust.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 32

Multi-threaded

• A thread is like a separate program, executing concurrently. We can

write Java programs that deal with many tasks at once by defining
multiple threads. The main advantage of multi-threading is that it
doesn't occupy memory for each thread. It shares a common memory
area. Threads are important for multi-media, Web applications etc.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 33

Comparison Index C++ JAVA

Platform-independent C++ is platform-dependent. Java is platform-independent.

Mainly used for C++ is mainly used for system Java is mainly used for application
programming. programming. It is widely used in
window, web-based, enterprise and
mobile applications.
Multiple inheritance C++ supports multiple inheritance. Java doesn't support multiple inheritance
through class. It can be achieved by
interfaces in java.
Operator Overloading Java doesn't support operator
C++ supports operator overloading.
overloading.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 34

Pointers C++ supports pointers. You can Java supports pointer internally.
write pointer program in C++. But you can't write the pointer
program in java. It means java has
restricted pointer support in java.
Compiler and Interpreter C++ uses compiler only. Java uses compiler and interpreter
both.
Virtual Keyword C++ supports virtual keyword so Java has no virtual keyword. We
that we can decide whether or not can override all non-static methods
override a function. by default. In other words, non-
static methods are virtual by
default.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 35

Java Environment
• Java include many development tool, classes and methods.
• Development tools are part of Java development kit (JDK).
• The classes and method are part of Java Standard Library. (JSL), also know as
Application Programming Interface(API).
• JDK constitute of tools like java compiler, java interpreter, and many.
• API include hundred of classes and methods group into serval
packages according to their functionality.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 36

Program Development in JAVA
• Install the JDK (we are using 1.5 or above)
• Also Documentation
• Edit the source code
• Use any editor, windows notepad is also a good choice
• Source code extension is .java
• Compile the source code
• javac file.java
• Run the program
• Java file -> to run applications
• You can use any IDE (Like netbeans or others).

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 37

Hellow World!!
class HellowWorldApp{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 38

Execution

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 39

Java Program Structure
• System.out is known as standard output object.
• The System.out.println displays its arguments in the command
window
• A java program typically consists of one or more classes
• Usually a separate class in separate file
• Each file is named after the class that is defined in it
• Extension of filename.java

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 40

Set path in JDK
• Open command prompt
• copy the path of jdk/bin directory
• write in command prompt: set path=copied_path
• set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 41

What happens at compile time?

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 42

What happens at runtime?

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 43

What is JVM
• A specification where working of Java Virtual Machine is specified.
But implementation provider is independent to choose the algorithm.
Its implementation has been provided by Sun and other companies.
• An implementation Its implementation is known as JRE (Java Runtime
Environment).
• Runtime Instance Whenever you write java command on the
command prompt to run the java class, an instance of JVM is created.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 44

What it does

• The JVM performs following operation:

• Loads code
• Verifies code
• Executes code
• Provides runtime environment

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 45

Internal Architecture of JVM

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 46

 Execution Engine

• A virtual processor
• Interpreter: Read bytecode stream then execute the instructions.
• Just-In-Time(JIT) compiler: It is used to improve the performance. JIT
compiles parts of the byte code that have similar functionality at the
same time, and hence reduces the amount of time needed for
compilation. Here the term ?compiler? refers to a translator from the
instruction set of a Java virtual machine (JVM) to the instruction set of
a specific CPU.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 47

JRE

• JRE is an acronym for Java Runtime Environment. It is used to provide

runtime environment. It is the implementation of JVM. It physically
exists. It contains set of libraries + other files that JVM uses at
runtime.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 48

JDK

• JDK is an acronym for Java Development Kit. It physically exists.It

contains JRE + development tools.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 49

Packages
• Java’s predefined classes are grouped into categories of related
classes called packages.
• A package is a named collection of classes.
• They are referred to collectively as Java class library or Java
Application Programming Interface (API)
• The packages are split into core packages and optional packages.
• The names of the packages start with either java or javax. They are
included as part of j2sdk
• A class in a package is named after its directory path e.g
classes in java.lang are stored in java/lang
2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 50
Example
Import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class KICSIT {
public static void main (String args[ ])
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, “Hello
KICSIT\nWelcome to java programming”);
System.exit(0);
}//end of main
}// end of class

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 51

Cont…
• We use java’s predefined class JOptionPane which is in package
javax.swing
• The import declaration helps the compiler locate the class you intend
to use.
• Use of static method name exit() of class System terminate the
application
• This is required to terminate any application that displays a GUI.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 52

Example 3
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Addition{
public static void main(String args[])
{ String firstNum,secondNum;
int num1,num2,sum;
firstNum=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(“Enter First Integer”);
secondNum=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(“Enter First Integer”);
num1=Integer.parseInt(firstNum);
num2=Integer.parseInt(secondNum);
sum=num1+num2;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, “Sum is”+ sum);
System.exit(0);}}

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 53

Some standard packages
• java.lang
• Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language
• java.io
• Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system
• java.util
• Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time
facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes
• java.net
• Provides the classes for implementing networking applications
• java.awt
• Contains all of the classes for creating user interfaces and for painting graphics and images

 Variables and Data Types in Java

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 55

Types of Variable
1) Local Variable
A variable which is declared inside the
method is called local variable.
2) Instance Variable
A variable which is declared inside the class
but outside the method, is called instance
variable . It is not declared as static.
3) Static variable
A variable that is declared as static is called
static variable. It cannot be local.
We will have detailed learning of these
variables in next chapters.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 56

Example
• class A{
• int data=50;//instance variable
• static int m=100;//static variable
• void method(){
• int n=90;//local variable
•}
• }//end of class

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 57

Data Types in Java

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 58

 Data Type Default Value Default size

boolean false 1 bit

char '\u0000' 2 byte
byte 0 1 byte
short 0 2 byte
int 0 4 byte
long 0L 8 byte
float 0.0f 4 byte
double 0.0d 8 byte

It is because java uses Unicode system than ASCII code system. The \u0000 is the lowest range of
Unicode system. To get detail explanation about Unicode visit next page.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 59

Type Casting
• Done when information loss is acceptable.
double x=9.997
int nx= ( int ) x;

Q: what is the value stored in nx?

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 60

Operators in java

• Unary Operator,
• Arithmetic Operator,
• shift Operator,
• Relational Operator,
• Bitwise Operator,
• Logical Operator,
• Ternary Operator and
• Assignment Operator.

Java IF-else-if ladder Statement

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 65

Java Switch Statement

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 66

Switch construct
• All case labels must be enclosed between the braces for the switch
statement.
• Case labels including default can appear in any order
• In case of no break statement control falls through to next case.
• Default case is optional. It must have a break statement if it is not the
last label.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 67

Java For Loop

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 68

Java For-each Loop

• The for-each loop is used to traverse array or collection in java. It is

easier to use than simple for loop because we don't need to
increment value and use subscript notation.
• It works on elements basis not index. It returns element one by one in
the defined variable.
for(Type var:array){
//code to be executed
}

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 69

Java do-while Loop

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 70

Java Naming conventions

Name Convention

class name should start with uppercase letter and be

a noun e.g. String, Color, Button,
System, Thread etc.
interface name should start with uppercase letter and be
an adjective e.g. Runnable, Remote,
ActionListener etc.
method name should start with lowercase letter and be
a verb e.g. actionPerformed(), main(),
print(), println() etc.
variable name should start with lowercase letter e.g.
firstName, orderNumber etc.
package name should be in lowercase letter e.g. java,
lang, sql, util etc.
constants name should be in uppercase letter. e.g. RED,
YELLOW, MAX_PRIORITY etc.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 71

Class in Java

• A class is a group of objects which have common properties. It is a template or

blueprint from which objects are created. It is a logical entity. It can't be physical.
• A class in Java can contain:
• fields
• methods
• constructors
• blocks
• nested class and interface
class <class_name>{
field;
method;
}
2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 72
Instance variable in Java

• A variable which is created inside the class but outside the method, is
known as instance variable. Instance variable doesn't get memory at
compile time. It gets memory at run time when object(instance) is
created. That is why, it is known as instance variable.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 73

Method in Java

• In java, a method is like function i.e. used to expose behavior of an

object.
• Advantage of Method
• Code Reusability
• Code Optimization

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 74

new keyword in Java

• The new keyword is used to allocate memory at run time. All objects
get memory in Heap memory area.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 75

Example
class Student{
int id;//field or data member or instance variable
String name;

public static void main(String args[]){

Student s1=new Student();//creating an object of Student
System.out.println(s1.id);//accessing member through reference variable
System.out.println(s1.name);
}

Ways to initialize object

1. By reference variable
2. By method
3. By constructor

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 77

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 78
What are the different ways to create an object in
Java?
• By new keyword
• By newInstance() method
• By clone() method
• By deserialization
• By factory method etc.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 79

Constructor in Java

• In Java, constructor is a block of codes similar to method. It is called

when an instance of object is created and memory is allocated for the
object.
• It is a special type of method which is used to initialize the object.
• Types of java constructors
• There are two types of constructors in java:
• Default constructor (no-arg constructor)
• Parameterized constructor

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 80

Constructor Overloading in Java

• In Java, a constructor is just like a method but without return type. It

can also be overloaded like Java methods.
• Constructor overloading in Java is a technique of having more than
one constructor with different parameter lists. They are arranged in a
way that each constructor performs a different task. They are
differentiated by the compiler by the number of parameters in the list
and their types.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 81

Difference between constructor and method in
java

Java Constructor Java Method

Constructor is used to initialize the state Method is used to expose behaviour of

of an object. an object.
Constructor must not have return type. Method must have return type.
Constructor is invoked implicitly. Method is invoked explicitly.
The java compiler provides a default Method is not provided by compiler in
constructor if you don't have any any case.
constructor.
Constructor name must be same as the Method name may or may not be same
class name. as class name.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 82

Java Copy Constructor

• There is no copy constructor in java. But, we can copy the values of

one object to another like copy constructor in C++.
• There are many ways to copy the values of one object into another in
java. They are:
• By constructor
• By assigning the values of one object into another
• By clone() method of Object class

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 83

Java static keyword

• he static keyword in java is used for memory management mainly.

We can apply java static keyword with variables, methods, blocks and
nested class. The static keyword belongs to the class than instance of
the class.
• The static can be:
• variable (also known as class variable)
• method (also known as class method)
• block
• nested class

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 84

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 85
Restrictions for static method

• The static method can not use non static data member or call non-
static method directly.
• this and super cannot be used in static context.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 86

why java main method is static?

• Ans) because object is not required to call static method if it were

non-static method, jvm create object first then call main() method
that will lead the problem of extra memory allocation.

2/11/2018 Mobile Application Development 87

this keyword in java

• There can be a lot of usage of java this keyword. In java, this is

a reference variable that refers to the current object.
• Usage of java this keyword
• this can be used to refer current class instance variable.
• this can be used to invoke current class method (implicitly)
• this() can be used to invoke current class constructor.
• this can be passed as an argument in the method call.
• this can be passed as argument in the constructor call.
• this can be used to return the current class instance from the method.
