Hi All,
Can someone explain the Interfaces in java Please?
I am looking for a working example to understand an Interface.

Thanks in Advance.

Have you read the following?
What Is an Interface? (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Object-Oriented Programming Concepts)

Thanks for that doWhile;
I have already checked the java docs, still confused especially
about the implementation.
Hope that you or someone else will be kind enough to explain it to me.

Regards,
Tariq

What is confusing about it? It truly helps to know - after reading the above link - what you are confused about, at least as close as you can come to describing the confusion, otherwise we can post links ad-nauseam and end up going nowhere (and BTW, there are other links in that page that lead to more informative pages worth your time reading)

I just checked those links, some of the concepts are too advance for me.
The thing i am confused about is first of all why we use Interfaces at the first place?
My understanding so far is that Interface is also a prototype like a Class but with many differences.
Interface can only have method bodies and class which implements the interface will have the implementation of these methods.

Still doing some research.......................................

Am i on the right track?

I posted a thread a while ago about this. Got some good responses. To add to what they said, I believe it also enforces the methods on the class.
