I am working on a problem where different animal types implement the same talk() method from Animal interface. If you look at getAnimal() method, you can see that when a new kind of animal is added to the program, inside of that method has to be changed as well. I want to add new animals just by subclassing Animal without changing anything in the already existing classes. For example, add an animal "Dog", criteria="loyal"; talk="woof". Could you tell me, how it is possible? Below is my code:
interface Animal {
public void talk();
}
class Lion implements Animal {
@Override
public void talk() {
System.out.println("ROARRRRR");
}
}
class Mouse implements Animal {
@Override
public void talk() {
System.out.println("SQUEEEEEAK");
}
}
class Bison implements Animal {
@Override
public void talk() {
System.out.println("BELLOWWWWW");
}
}
class AnimalType {
public static Animal getAnimal(String criteria) {
// I refactor this method
if (criteria.equals("small")) {
return new Mouse();
} else if (criteria.equals("big")) {
return new Bison();
} else if (criteria.equals("lazy")) {
return new Lion();
}
return null;
}
}
public class AnimalExamples {
public static void main(String[] args) {
AnimalType.getAnimal("small").talk();
AnimalType.getAnimal("big").talk();
AnimalType.getAnimal("lazy").talk();
// how to add an animal "Dog" here, criteria="loyal"; talk="woof"
AnimalType.getAnimal("loyal").talk();
try {
AnimalType.getAnimal("small").talk();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Animal does not exists");
}
}
}
I searched on google, understood it can be done by reflection. But do not know how. If possible, could you help me with this, please? Thanks in advance!
