Design Pattern - Singleton Pattern

Singleton pattern is one of the simplest design patterns in Java. This type of design
pattern comes under creational pattern as this pattern provides one of the best ways
to create an object.

This pattern involves a single class which is responsible to create an object while
making sure that only single object gets created. This class provides a way to access
its only object which can be accessed directly without need to instantiate the object
of the class.

Implementation
We're going to create a SingleObject class. SingleObject class have its constructor as
private and have a static instance of itself.

SingleObject class provides a static method to get its static instance to outside
world. SingletonPatternDemo, our demo class will use SingleObject class to get a
SingleObject object.

Step 1

Create a Singleton Class.

SingleObject.java

public class SingleObject {

//create an object of SingleObject


private static SingleObject instance = new SingleObject();

//make the constructor private so that this class cannot be


//instantiated
private SingleObject(){}

//Get the only object available


public static SingleObject getInstance(){
return instance;
}

public void showMessage(){


System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}

Step 2
Get the only object from the singleton class.

SingletonPatternDemo.java

public class SingletonPatternDemo {


public static void main(String[] args) {

//illegal construct
//Compile Time Error: The constructor SingleObject() is not visi
//SingleObject object = new SingleObject();

//Get the only object available


SingleObject object = SingleObject.getInstance();

//show the message


object.showMessage();
