Encapsulation in Java is a process of wrapping code and data together into a single unit, for example, a capsule which is mixed
Java Inheritance of several medicines.
Inheritance(IS-A)
Aggregation(HAS-A) We can create a fully encapsulated class in Java by making all the data members of the class
private. Now we can use setter and getter methods to set and get the data in it.
Java Polymorphism
Method Overloading The Java Bean class is the example of a fully encapsulated class.

Java Encapsulation Advantage of Encapsulation in Java

Package
By providing only a setter or getter method, you can make the class read-only or write-only. In other words, you can skip the

getter or setter methods.
Encapsulation

Java Array It provides you the control over the data. Suppose you want to set the value of id which should be greater than 100 only, you
Java Array can write the logic inside the setter method. You can write the logic not to store the negative numbers in the setter methods.

Java OOPs Misc It is a way to achieve data hiding in Java because other class will not be able to access the data through the private data
Object class members.
Object Cloning
The encapsulate class is easy to test. So, it is better for unit testing.
Math class
Wrapper Class
The standard IDE's are providing the facility to generate the getters and setters. So, it is easy and fast to create an

Java AWT & Events Simple Example of Encapsulation in Java

Java Swing
Let's see the simple example of encapsulation that has only one field with its setter and getter methods.
JavaFX

Java Applet File: Student.java

Java Reflection

Java Date //A Java class which is a fully encapsulated class.

Java Conversion //It has a private data member and getter and setter methods.

Java Collection package com.javatpoint;

public class Student{
Java JDBC
//private data member
Java New Features
private String name;
RMI
//getter method for name
Internationalization
public String getName(){
Interview Questions
return name;
}
//setter method for name
public void setName(String name){
this.name=name
}
}

File: Test.java

//A Java class to test the encapsulated class.

package com.javatpoint;
class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
//creating instance of the encapsulated class
Student s=new Student();
//setting value in the name member
s.setName("vijay");
//getting value of the name member
System.out.println(s.getName());
}
}

Compile By: javac -d . Test.java

Run By: java com.javatpoint.Test

Output:

vijay

Read-Only class

//A Java class which has only getter methods.

public class Student{
//private data member
private String college="AKG";
//getter method for college
public String getCollege(){
return college;
}
}

Now, you can't change the value of the college data member which is "AKG".

s.setCollege("KITE");//will render compile time error

Write-Only class

//A Java class which has only setter methods.

public class Student{
//private data member
private String college;
//getter method for college
public void setCollege(String college){
this.college=college;
}
}

Now, you can't get the value of the college, you can only change the value of college data member.

System.out.println(s.getCollege());//Compile Time Error, because there is no such method

System.out.println(s.college);//Compile Time Error, because the college data member is private.
//So, it can't be accessed from outside the class

Another Example of Encapsulation in Java

Let's see another example of encapsulation that has only four fields with its setter and getter methods.

File: Account.java

//A Account class which is a fully encapsulated class.

//It has a private data member and getter and setter methods.
class Account {
//private data members
private long acc_no;
private String name,email;
private float amount;
//public getter and setter methods
public long getAcc_no() {
return acc_no;
}
public void setAcc_no(long acc_no) {
this.acc_no = acc_no;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
public float getAmount() {
return amount;
}
public void setAmount(float amount) {
this.amount = amount;
}

File: TestAccount.java

//A Java class to test the encapsulated class Account.

public class TestEncapsulation {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//creating instance of Account class
Account acc=new Account();
//setting values through setter methods
acc.setAcc_no(7560504000L);
acc.setName("Sonoo Jaiswal");
acc.setEmail("sonoojaiswal@javatpoint.com");
acc.setAmount(500000f);
//getting values through getter methods
System.out.println(acc.getAcc_no()+" "+acc.getName()+" "+acc.getEmail()+" "+acc.getAmount());
}
}

Test it Now

Output:

7560504000 Sonoo Jaiswal sonoojaiswal@javatpoint.com 500000.0
