Hiding Interface Methods

Question

In java is there a way to make a class implementing the interface methods to private?

Something like this:

class A implement interface1
{
   //make this private
   public void test()
   {
   }
}

Answer 1

No . You can't change the access modifier of a method you're implementing from an interface. Because, the resulting Object would no longer implement the interface.

Answer 2

Methods in Interface are defined public . It's cannot be private .
