Android Tutorial => Singleton Class Example

Example

Java Singleton Pattern

To implement Singleton pattern, we have different approaches but all of them have following common concepts.

Private constructor to restrict instantiation of the class from other classes.
Private static variable of the same class that is the only instance of the class.
Public static method that returns the instance of the class, this is the global access
point for outer world to get the instance of the singleton class.

/**
 * Singleton class.
 */
public final class Singleton {

  /**
   * Private constructor so nobody can instantiate the class.
   */
  private Singleton() {}

  /**
   * Static to class instance of the class.
   */
  private static final Singleton INSTANCE = new Singleton();

  /**
   * To be called by user to obtain instance of the class.
   *
   * @return instance of the singleton.
   */
  public static Singleton getInstance() {
    return INSTANCE;
  }
}
