假设类永远不会有多个实例，那么哪个实例占用更多内存:

私有静态最终int ID = 250; 或 private final int ID = 250;

我已经理解，静态将引用类类型，在内存中只有一个副本，而非静态将在每个实例变量的新内存位置。但是在内部，如果我们只是比较同一个类的1个实例(即不会创建多个实例)，那么在1个静态final变量所使用的空间方面是否有任何开销?

静态成员是所有类实例和类本身上的相同成员。 非静态是每个实例(对象)的一个，所以在你的具体情况下，如果你不放置静态是浪费内存。

读了答案后，我发现没有真正的测试能真正抓住重点。以下是我的观点:

public class ConstTest
{

    private final int         value             = 10;
    private static final int  valueStatic       = 20;
    private final File        valueObject       = new File("");
    private static final File valueObjectStatic = new File("");

    public void printAddresses() {


        System.out.println("final int address " +
                ObjectUtils.identityToString(value));
        System.out.println("final static int address " +
                ObjectUtils.identityToString(valueStatic));
        System.out.println("final file address " + 
                ObjectUtils.identityToString(valueObject));
        System.out.println("final static file address " + 
                ObjectUtils.identityToString(valueObjectStatic));
    }


    public static void main(final String args[]) {


        final ConstTest firstObj = new ConstTest();
        final ConstTest sndObj = new ConstTest();

        firstObj.printAdresses();
        sndObj.printAdresses();
    }

}

第一个对象的结果:

final int address java.lang.Integer@6d9efb05
final static int address java.lang.Integer@60723d7c
final file address java.io.File@6c22c95b
final static file address java.io.File@5fd1acd3

第二个对象的结果:

final int address java.lang.Integer@6d9efb05
final static int address java.lang.Integer@60723d7c
final file address java.io.File@3ea981ca
final static file address java.io.File@5fd1acd3

结论:

正如我认为java使原始类型和其他类型之间的区别。Java中的基本类型总是“缓存”的，对于字符串字面量也是如此(不是新的String对象)，所以静态和非静态成员没有区别。

然而，如果非静态成员不是基元类型的实例，则存在内存复制。

将valueStatic的值更改为10甚至可以更进一步，因为Java将为两个int变量提供相同的地址。

这是另一个简单的例子来理解静态，静态final, final变量的用法。代码注释有适当的解释。

public class City {

    // base price that is always same for all objects[For all cities].
    private static double iphone_base_price = 10000;

    // this is total price = iphone_base_price+iphone_diff;
    private double iphone_citi_price;

    // extra price added to iphone_base_price. It is constant per city. Every
    // city has its own difference defined,
    private final double iphone_diff;

    private String cityName = "";

    // static final will be accessible everywhere within the class but cant be
    // changed once initialized.
    private static final String countryName = "India";

    public City(String cityName, double iphone_diff) {
        super();
        this.iphone_diff = iphone_diff;
        iphone_citi_price = iphone_base_price + iphone_diff;
        this.cityName = cityName;

    }

    /**
     * get phone price
     * 
     * @return
     */
    private double getPrice() {

        return iphone_citi_price;
    }

    /**
     * Get city name
     * 
     * @return
     */
    private String getCityName() {

        return cityName;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // 300 is the
        City newyork = new City("Newyork", 300);
        System.out.println(newyork.getPrice() + "  " + newyork.getCityName());

        City california = new City("California", 800);
        System.out.println(california.getPrice() + "  " + california.getCityName());

        // We cant write below statement as a final variable can not be
        // reassigned
        // california.iphone_diff=1000; //************************

        // base price is defined for a class and not per instances.
        // For any number of object creation, static variable's value would be the same
        // for all instances until and unless changed.
        // Also it is accessible anywhere inside a class.
        iphone_base_price = 9000;

        City delhi = new City("delhi", 400);
        System.out.println(delhi.getPrice() + "  " + delhi.getCityName());

        City moscow = new City("delhi", 500);
        System.out.println(moscow.getPrice() + "  " + moscow.getCityName());

        // Here countryName is accessible as it is static but we can not change it as it is final as well. 
        //Something are meant to be accessible with no permission to modify it. 
        //Try un-commenting below statements
        System.out.println(countryName);

        // countryName="INDIA";
        // System.out.println(countryName);

    }

}

静态变量在应用程序的整个生命周期中都保留在内存中，并在类加载期间初始化。每次构造一个新对象时，都会初始化一个非静态变量。通常更好的方法是:

private static final int NUMBER = 10;

为什么?这减少了每个实例的内存占用。它可能也有利于缓存命中。这是有意义的:静态应该用于在特定类型(类)的所有实例(也就是对象)之间共享的东西。

正如Jon已经说过的，静态变量，也称为类变量，是跨类实例存在的变量。

我在这里找到了一个例子:

public class StaticVariable
{
  static int noOfInstances;
  StaticVariable()
  {
    noOfInstances++;
  }
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    StaticVariable sv1 = new StaticVariable();
    System.out.println("No. of instances for sv1 : " + sv1.noOfInstances);

    StaticVariable sv2 = new StaticVariable();
    System.out.println("No. of instances for sv1 : "  + sv1.noOfInstances);
    System.out.println("No. of instances for st2 : "  + sv2.noOfInstances);

    StaticVariable sv3 = new StaticVariable();
    System.out.println("No. of instances for sv1 : "  + sv1.noOfInstances);
    System.out.println("No. of instances for sv2 : "  + sv2.noOfInstances);
    System.out.println("No. of instances for sv3 : "  + sv3.noOfInstances);
  }
}

程序输出如下:

正如我们在这个例子中看到的，每个对象都有自己的类变量副本。

C:\java>java StaticVariable
No. of instances for sv1 : 1
No. of instances for sv1 : 2
No. of instances for st2 : 2
No. of instances for sv1 : 3
No. of instances for sv2 : 3
No. of instances for sv3 : 3
