4 Bridge Pattern in Java

The Bridge Pattern is a structural design pattern that helps decouple abstraction from implementation, allowing them to evolve independently.

This is particularly useful when dealing with multiple dimensions of variability in our system. Instead of having a complex hierarchy of subclasses, we use composition to separate concerns, making our code more maintainable and scalable.

In this post, we’ll explore the Bridge Pattern using an easy-to-understand example with different devices and remote controls.

Why Use the Bridge Pattern?

Reduces Class Explosion – Avoids deep inheritance trees when dealing with multiple variations.

Promotes Composition Over Inheritance – Favors flexibility by allowing independent changes to abstraction and implementation.

Improves Maintainability – Enhances readability and separation of concerns.

Problem Without the Bridge Pattern

Imagine we have different types of devices (like TV and Radio) and different remote controls (like Basic Remote and Advanced Remote).

A bad approach would be using inheritance to create a subclass for each combination, like:

  • BasicTVRemote
  • AdvancedTVRemote
  • BasicRadioRemote
  • AdvancedRadioRemote

As we add more device types or remote types, our class hierarchy grows exponentially!

Problems with This Approach

Class Explosion – Every new remote type requires new subclasses.

Hard to Maintain – Changes in the Remote logic require modifications in multiple classes.

Tight Coupling – Device behavior is tightly linked to Remote behavior.

Solution: Using the Bridge Pattern

Instead of relying on inheritance, we use composition:

  • We separate Devices (TV, Radio, etc.) from Remotes (Basic, Advanced, etc.).
  • Remotes hold a reference to a Device, allowing independent variations.

Step 1: Create the Device Interface

Each device must implement basic functionalities like turning on/off and changing volume. 

<span>public</span> <span>interface</span> <span>Device</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>void</span> <span>turnOn</span><span>();</span>
    <span>void</span> <span>turnOff</span><span>();</span>
    <span>void</span> <span>setVolume</span><span>(</span><span>int</span> <span>volume</span><span>);</span>
    <span>boolean</span> <span>isOn</span><span>();</span>
<span>}</span>
<span>public</span> <span>interface</span> <span>Device</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>void</span> <span>turnOn</span><span>();</span>
    <span>void</span> <span>turnOff</span><span>();</span>
    <span>void</span> <span>setVolume</span><span>(</span><span>int</span> <span>volume</span><span>);</span>
    <span>boolean</span> <span>isOn</span><span>();</span>
<span>}</span>
public interface Device {
    void turnOn();
    void turnOff();
    void setVolume(int volume);
    boolean isOn();
}

Step 3: Create the Remote Control Abstraction

Now, we define an abstract class RemoteControl, which uses composition to interact with a Device. 

<span>public</span> <span>class</span> <span>RemoteControl</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>protected</span> <span>Device</span> <span>device</span><span>;</span>
    <span>public</span> <span>RemoteControl</span><span>(</span><span>Device</span> <span>device</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>this</span><span>.</span><span>device</span> <span>=</span> <span>device</span><span>;</span>
    <span>}</span>
    <span>public</span> <span>void</span> <span>togglePower</span><span>()</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>if</span> <span>(</span><span>device</span><span>.</span><span>isOn</span><span>())</span> <span>{</span>
            <span>device</span><span>.</span><span>turnOff</span><span>();</span>
        <span>}</span> <span>else</span> <span>{</span>

Step 4: Extend the Remote Control with More Functionality

Let’s create an Advanced Remote that can also mute the device. 

<span>public</span> <span>class</span> <span>AdvancedRemoteControl</span> <span>extends</span> <span>RemoteControl</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>public</span> <span>AdvancedRemoteControl</span><span>(</span><span>Device</span> <span>device</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>super</span><span>(</span><span>device</span><span>);</span>
    <span>}</span>
    <span>public</span> <span>void</span> <span>mute</span><span>()</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>System</span><span>.</span><span>out</span><span>.</span><span>println</span><span>(</span><span>"Muting the device"</span><span>);</span>
        <span>device</span><span>.</span><span>setVolume</span><span>(</span><span>0</span><span>);</span>
    <span>}</span>
<span>}</span>
<span>public</span> <span>class</span> <span>AdvancedRemoteControl</span> <span>extends</span> <span>RemoteControl</span> <span>{</span>

    <span>public</span> <span>AdvancedRemoteControl</span><span>(</span><span>Device</span> <span>device</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>super</span><span>(</span><span>device</span><span>);</span>
    <span>}</span>

    <span>public</span> <span>void</span> <span>mute</span><span>()</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>System</span><span>.</span><span>out</span><span>.</span><span>println</span><span>(</span><span>"Muting the device"</span><span>);</span>
        <span>device</span><span>.</span><span>setVolume</span><span>(</span><span>0</span><span>);</span>
    <span>}</span>
<span>}</span>
public class AdvancedRemoteControl extends RemoteControl {

    public AdvancedRemoteControl(Device device) {
        super(device);
    }

    public void mute() {
        System.out.println("Muting the device");
        device.setVolume(0);
    }
}

        <span>basicRemote</span><span>.</span><span>togglePower</span><span>();</span>
        <span>basicRemote</span><span>.</span><span>volumeUp</span><span>();</span>
        <span>System</span><span>.</span><span>out</span><span>.</span><span>println</span><span>(</span><span>"\nUsing Advanced Remote with Radio:"</span><span>);</span>
        <span>advancedRemote</span><span>.</span><span>togglePower</span><span>();</span>
        <span>advancedRemote</span><span>.</span><span>mute</span><span>();</span>
    <span>}</span>
<span>}</span>
<span>public</span> <span>class</span> <span>BridgePatternExample</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>public</span> <span>static</span> <span>void</span> <span>main</span><span>(</span><span>String</span><span>[]</span> <span>args</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>

<span>}</span>
public class BridgePatternExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Device tv = new TV();
        Device radio = new Radio();

        RemoteControl basicRemote = new RemoteControl(tv);
        AdvancedRemoteControl advancedRemote = new AdvancedRemoteControl(radio);

        System.out.println("Using Basic Remote with TV:");
        basicRemote.togglePower();
        basicRemote.volumeUp();

        System.out.println("\nUsing Advanced Remote with Radio:");
        advancedRemote.togglePower();
        advancedRemote.mute();
    }

Pros of the Bridge Pattern

Decouples abstraction from implementation – Devices and Remotes can evolve separately.

Improves Maintainability – Changes in one part of the code don’t affect the other.

Promotes Code Reusability – You can mix and match different implementations.

Conclusion

The Bridge Pattern is a great solution when you have multiple variations of both abstractions and implementations. By using composition over inheritance, we gain flexibility, scalability, and better code organization.
