This process can be followed in singleton design pattern by providing a public method to get the same instance which had been created by static block. I would say don't make the constructor private, don't make the build code under the constructor (place it in a new method, which can be private) and make a method to return the object outside the class. read less

To implement this requirement 1. we will make the constructor as private 2. Create within the class a object in static block or just a private static global variable referring to the object of the class or in a public static method. 3. Have a public static getInstance method which will expose the only one object of the class created read less

Yes you can create Object of that class at anywhere by creating a public method that has the returned type as object and one more thing that Singleton pattern is nothing to do with creating an Object .The singleton Pattern we use is meant for one and only instance of that type in whole application consider the following code public class Alpha { private Alpha() { // no -args constructor } public Alpha createInstance() { return new Alpha(); } public static void main(String[]args) { Alpha a1= createInstance(); Alpha a2=createInstance(); } } Now If you want to create Object of Alpha class else where just make create Instance method as follow class Alpha { private Alpha() { // no -args constructor } public static Alpha createInstance() { return new Alpha(); } } public class Beta { public static void main(String[]args) { Alpha a1= Alpha.createInstance(); Alpha a2=Alpha.createInstance(); // Now check whether if those instance are same if(a1.equals(a2)) { System.out.println("Both instance are refering same object"); } else { System.out.println("Both instance are refering different object"); } } } read less
