Java – abstract and anonymous classes

See English answers > Creating the instance of abstract class or anonymous class 8

abstract class Two {
    Two() {
        System.out.println("Two()");
    }
    Two(String s) {
        System.out.println("Two(String");
    }
    abstract int  display();
}
class One {
    public Two two(String s) {
        return new Two() {          
            public int display() {
                System.out.println("display()");
                return 1;
            }
        };
    }
}
class Ajay {
    public static void main(String ...strings ){
        One one=new One();
        Two two=one.two("ajay");
        System.out.println(two.display());
    }
}

We can't instantiate an abstract class, so why can function two (string s) create an instance of an abstract class, two????

Solution

It does not create an instance of abstract 2 It creates a concrete anonymous class that extends two and instantiates it

It is almost equivalent to using such a named inner class:

class One {
    public Two two(String s) {
        return new MyTwo();
    }

    class MyTwo extends Two {
        public int display() {
            System.out.println("display()");
            return 1;
        }
    }
}
