使用abstract关键字声明的类称为抽象类。 抽象是一个隐藏数据实现细节，只向用户显示功能的过程。抽象让您关注对象做了什么，而不是它是如何做的。

抽象类的主要内容

An abstract class may or may not contain abstract methods.There can be non abstract methods. An abstract method is a method that is declared without an implementation (without braces, and followed by a semicolon), like this: ex : abstract void moveTo(double deltaX, double deltaY); If a class has at least one abstract method then that class must be abstract Abstract classes may not be instantiated (You are not allowed to create object of Abstract class) To use an abstract class, you have to inherit it from another class. Provide implementations to all the abstract methods in it. If you inherit an abstract class, you have to provide implementations to all the abstract methods in it.

声明抽象类 在声明期间在类之前指定abstract关键字将使其抽象。看看下面的代码:

abstract class AbstractDemo{ }

声明抽象方法 在声明过程中在方法之前指定abstract关键字将使方法抽象。看看下面的代码，

abstract void moveTo();//no body

为什么我们需要抽象类

In an object-oriented drawing application, you can draw circles, rectangles, lines, Bezier curves, and many other graphic objects. These objects all have certain states (for ex -: position, orientation, line color, fill color) and behaviors (for ex -: moveTo, rotate, resize, draw) in common. Some of these states and behaviors are the same for all graphic objects (for ex : fill color, position, and moveTo). Others require different implementation(for ex: resize or draw). All graphic objects must be able to draw or resize themselves, they just differ in how they do it.

对于抽象超类来说，这是一个完美的情况。您可以利用这些相似性，并将所有图形对象声明为继承自相同的抽象父对象(例如:GraphicObject)，如下图所示。

首先，声明一个抽象类GraphicObject，以提供所有子类完全共享的成员变量和方法，例如当前位置和moveTo方法。GraphicObject还声明了抽象方法，如draw或resize，这些方法需要由所有子类实现，但必须以不同的方式实现。GraphicObject类看起来像这样:

abstract class GraphicObject {

  void moveTo(int x, int y) {
    // Inside this method we have to change the position of the graphic 
    // object according to x,y     
    // This is the same in every GraphicObject. Then we can implement here. 
  }

  abstract void draw(); // But every GraphicObject drawing case is 
                        // unique, not common. Then we have to create that 
                        // case inside each class. Then create these    
                        // methods as abstract 
  abstract void resize();
}

在子类中使用抽象方法 GraphicObject的每个非抽象子类，如Circle和Rectangle，必须为draw和resize方法提供实现。

class Circle extends GraphicObject {
  void draw() {
    //Add to some implementation here
  }
  void resize() {
    //Add to some implementation here   
  }
}
class Rectangle extends GraphicObject {
  void draw() {
    //Add to some implementation here
  }
  void resize() {
    //Add to some implementation here
  }
}

在main方法中，你可以像这样调用所有的方法:

public static void main(String args[]){
   GraphicObject c = new Circle();
   c.draw();
   c.resize();
   c.moveTo(4,5);   
}

在Java中实现抽象的方法

在java中有两种实现抽象的方法

抽象类(0到100%) 接口(100%)

具有构造函数、数据成员、方法等的抽象类

abstract class GraphicObject {

  GraphicObject (){
    System.out.println("GraphicObject  is created");
  }
  void moveTo(int y, int x) {
       System.out.println("Change position according to "+ x+ " and " + y);
  }
  abstract void draw();
}

class Circle extends GraphicObject {
  void draw() {
    System.out.println("Draw the Circle");
  }
}

class TestAbstract {  
 public static void main(String args[]){

   GraphicObject  grObj = new Circle ();
   grObj.draw();
   grObj.moveTo(4,6);
 }
}

输出:

GraphicObject  is created
Draw the Circle
Change position according to 6 and 4

记住两条规则:

如果类中抽象方法和具体方法都很少， 将其声明为抽象类。 如果类只有抽象方法，则将其声明为接口。

引用:

TutorialsPoint - Java抽象 Java抽象类方法 Java文档-抽象方法和类 JavaPoint - Java中的抽象类

简单地说，您可以将抽象类看作是具有更多功能的接口。

你不能实例化一个接口，这也适用于一个抽象类。

On your interface you can just define the method headers and ALL of the implementers are forced to implement all of them. On an abstract class you can also define your method headers but here - to the difference of the interface - you can also define the body (usually a default implementation) of the method. Moreover when other classes extend (note, not implement and therefore you can also have just one abstract class per child class) your abstract class, they are not forced to implement all of your methods of your abstract class, unless you specified an abstract method (in such case it works like for interfaces, you cannot define the method body).

public abstract class MyAbstractClass{
  public abstract void DoSomething();
}

否则，对于抽象类的普通方法，“继承者”可以像往常一样只使用默认行为或重写它。

例子:

public abstract class MyAbstractClass{

  public int CalculateCost(int amount){
     //do some default calculations
     //this can be overriden by subclasses if needed
  }

  //this MUST be implemented by subclasses
  public abstract void DoSomething();
}

解决方案——基类(抽象)

public abstract class Place {

String Name;
String Postcode;
String County;
String Area;

Place () {

        }

public static Place make(String Incoming) {
        if (Incoming.length() < 61) return (null);

        String Name = (Incoming.substring(4,26)).trim();
        String County = (Incoming.substring(27,48)).trim();
        String Postcode = (Incoming.substring(48,61)).trim();
        String Area = (Incoming.substring(61)).trim();

        Place created;
        if (Name.equalsIgnoreCase(Area)) {
                created = new Area(Area,County,Postcode);
        } else {
                created = new District(Name,County,Postcode,Area);
        }
        return (created);
        }

public String getName() {
        return (Name);
        }

public String getPostcode() {
        return (Postcode);
        }

public String getCounty() {
        return (County);
        }

public abstract String getArea();

}

除了这些帖子之外。

有时你可能想声明一个 类，但不知道如何定义 所有的方法都属于这个 类。例如，你可能想要 声明一个名为Writer和的类 在它中包含一个名为 写()。但是，您不知道如何编写write()代码，因为它就是 每种类型的作者都不一样 设备。当然，你打算处理 通过派生Writer的子类， 如打印机，磁盘，网络和 控制台。

类，它可以有具体方法和非具体方法，即有主体和没有主体。

没有实现的方法必须包含'abstract'关键字。 抽象类不能被实例化。

来自oracle文档

抽象方法和类:

抽象类是声明为抽象的类——它可以包含也可以不包含抽象方法 抽象类不能被实例化，但可以被子类化

抽象方法是一种声明时没有实现(没有大括号，后面跟着一个分号)的方法，如下所示:

abstract void moveTo(double deltaX, double deltaY);

如果一个类包含抽象方法，那么类本身必须声明为抽象的，如下所示:

public abstract class GraphicObject {
   // declare fields
   // declare nonabstract methods
   abstract void draw();
}

当抽象类被子类化时，子类通常为其父类中的所有抽象方法提供实现。然而，如果不是这样，那么子类也必须声明为抽象的。
