Fields of interface - are they public?

I read that all methods of interface are public, even if we don't write it explicitly. Is the same with fields/variables or are they just/only static and final?

Yes that's true an interface can have only public methods and as well as public variables only, Non-public modifiers are not valid for a method/field inside java Interface.
therefore even you cannot define explicitly private/protected modified with any of interface method/field, they are by default public.

An interface has methods that are implicitly public and abstract , and variables that are implicitly public abstract and final, which means that an interface can declare only constants.

An interface has methods that are implicitly public and abstract , and variables that are implicitly public static and final, which means that an interface can declare only constants. ( sorry i wrote abstract instead of static in my previous post, so corrected it now )

saima if you write something wrong, then instead of posting the same thing again, you can use the

OK, I understand. Thanks for the answers!

Of course, you mean public static and final.
