关于接口为内部时和为外部时的区别与联系

首先说明，无论接口是在类内部还是外部，都需要覆盖接口定义的所有方法。

至于原因就去查看java教材关于接口的那一章讲解。

 

一、当接口为内部时，在类的头部即public class YY 后不必写implements XX-interface

如：

public class J_Panel extends JPanel
{
 public J_Panel()
 {
  addMouseListener(new MouseListener()
  {
   public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
   {}
   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
   {}
   public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
   {}
   public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
   {}
   public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
   {}
  }
  ); // end of addMouseListener
 
  addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener()
  {
   public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
   {}
   public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
   {}
  }
  ); // End of addMouseMotionListener
 } // End of the conductor of J_Panel

 protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
 {
  } // End of the function of paintComponent
}

注：若写上了implement MouseListener，

   则编译时会发生错误:

       class J_Panel不是抽象的，未覆盖java.awt.event.MouseListener中的抽象方法.....

   就是说，内部接口的实现并不能覆盖implements MouseListener的抽象方法。

二、而当接口为外部时，必须在类的头部即public class YY 后写上implements XX-interface

如：

public class ScribblePanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener
{ 
 public ScribblePanel()
 {
  // Register listener for the mouse event
  addMouseListener(this);
  addMouseMotionListener(this);
 }
// interface MouseListener
 public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
 {}
 public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
 {}
 public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
 {}
 public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
 {}
 public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
 {}
 
// interface MouseMotionListener
 public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
 {}
 public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
 {}
}
