But I wish to know a real time scenario in which we need to use only abstract class but not interface and only interface but not an abstract class.. Can any one suggest me some example like that.</p> <p>I guess the second one is used when multiple inheritance need arises i.e. A class is already inheriting some class and so we cant use an abstract class here .. We need to use only interface. In the same way I need an example In which we use only abstract but not interface.</p> <p>EDITED</p> <p>Just to add some more points for interface.</p> <p>Consider the java library collections</p> <pre><code> Collections List Set </code></pre> <p>All 3 are interfaces but the major thing , though they have functions which are common that is add , addAll, contains,containsAll etc. List implements in its own and set implements in another way ( telling about duplication ). Set does not allow duplicates list allows duplicates. </p> <p>So what I am trying to say is when ever there is no common features for sub-interface of super-interface we have to go for interface</p> <p>But if there is some common functionality which both has then keep it as to be abstract class. </p> <p>I need a practical example done in java api. Thanks. Sindhu</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
