A singleton class can only have one instance whereas a normal class can have many. Ie. A normal class allows you do this: NormalClass object1 = new NormalClass() NormalClass object2 = new NormalClass() For a singleton class you must do SingletonClass.getInstance() The get instance checks whether the object has been created and creates the object in the same way that a normal class is instantiated but this is only done once. If it has already been accessed before, it will return you the object.
