Need help on mobile gaming development basic

Question

my game canvas is like this
public a1Canvas(Display display){
super(true);
this.display = display;
frameDelay = 33;
gameOverState = false;
public void start(){
display.setCurrent(this);
try {
//get the images up
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.err.println("Failed to load images");
Thread t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
public void run() {
while (!gameOverState){
update();
draw(getGraphics());
try{
Thread.sleep(frameDelay);
}catch(InterruptedException ie){}
gotoMainMenu(getGraphics());
private void draw(Graphics graphics) {
//clear background to black
//draw the background
private void update() {
// Process user input
// Check for game over condition
if ( collision detection )
gameOverState = true;
}//if
}//for
private void gotoMainMenu(Graphics graphics) {
//clear screen to black colour
//draw the main menu
flushGraphics();
//if i press the fire button the game will start again
int keyState = getKeyStates();
if ( (keyState & FIRE_PRESSED) != 0 ){
System.out.println("game start");
gameOverState = false;
The problem i am facing is :
the FIRE button is not functioning, i put a system.out.println and it didnt print.
i am unsure whether i put the key input listener at the correct function
this button is supposed to start the game again.
What i want to do :
i want to display the main menu when i launched the game
when game is over, it will display back to the main menu again
when i press the fire button it will play the game again.
i hope someone can help me on this :)
