Calling a method in Runnable Class

Hello I am trying to water this down but how can I call a method in my class
If I am passed only thread t.
MyClass mc = new MyClass();
Thread t = new Thread(mc);
t.start(); //works because it is a method of Thread
t.myMethodInMyClass (); // wont work because it cant find it
I have attempted casting to MyClass but I get CCException.
Any help would be wonderful..
cheers and thanks in advance.

Well, you could potentially have too many things in one class. You may want to try and modularize your classes more. But 'if in several situations [you] need different things to run'... well, the logic is just going to have to be there for that in some form.
Now, if you've already performed the logic to determine what to run and you are going to have to perform the logic again (in your run() method), then there is a flaw in your design.

  • How to call a method of another class ?

    Hello,
    I�d like to know how to call a method of another class. I have to classes (class 1 and class 2), class 1 instantiates an object of class 2 and executes the rest of the method. Later, class 1 has to call a method of class 2, sending a message to do something in the object... Does anybody know how to do that ? Do I have to use interface ? Could you please help me ?
    Thanks.

  • Calling a method from another class... that requires variables?

    I'm calling a method from another class to change the date (its a date object) in another class.
    I keep getting the error 'setDate(int,int,int) in Date cannot be applied to ()'
    My code is:
    public int changeDate()
         cycleDate.setDate();
    }I'm guessing I need to pass 3 parameters (day, month, year), but I'm not sure how! I have tried, but then I get errors such as ')' expected?
    Any ideas! :D

    I have tried, but then I get errors such as ')' expected?
    Any ideas! :Dyou need to post your code if you're getting specific errors like that.
    but typically ')' expected means just that, you have too many or not enough parenthesis (or in the wrong place, etc.)

  • Can't add list element when calling a method from another class

    I am trying to call a method in another class, which contains code listmodel.addElement("text"); to add an element into a list component made in that class.
    I've put in System.out.println("passed"); in the method just to make sure if the method was being called properly and it displays normally.
    I can change variables in the other class by calling the method with no problem. The only thing I can't do is get listmodel.addElement("text"); to add a new element in the list component by doing it this way.
    I've called that method within it's class and it added the element with no problem. Does Java have limitations about what kind of code it can run from other classes? And if that's the case I'd really like to know just why.

    There were no errors, just the element doesnt get added to the list by doing it this way

    Why don't you just create an instance of the class?
    Car c = new Car();
    c.drive("fast");The drive method is in the car class, but as long as the method is public, you can use it anywhere.

  • Calling super.method() from anonymous class

    Look at this:
    class SynchronizedListModel
      extends DefaultListModel
      public void addElement(Object obj)  {
            final Object fObj = obj;
            Runnable rAdd = new Runnable()
                public void run() {
                    super.addElement(fObj);
            if (SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread())  {
                rAdd.run();
            } else {
                SwingUtilities.invokeLater(rAdd);
    }super in super.addElement(fObj); does not reference the addElement(obj) method of the DefaultListModel but of Object. So the compiler throws an error.
    How can I call the addElement method of DefaultListModel in the inner Runnable-class?
    Thanks for your help
    Ulrich

    I use a more compact semi-recursive form
        class SynchronizedListModel
        extends DefaultListModel
            public void addElement(final Object obj)
                if (SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread())

                else
                    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
                        addElement(obj);
        }This is not true recursion because call the to addElement() is done in the Swing event thread not in the calling thread.

  • Calling a method from another class. Please Help!!

    Here is my full program. Like I said in my last post. I am having trouble calling the baseMakesError1 method. This method is called in the subcallsbase1 method. Also, it would be of great help if you could look for any other errors with with my program. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

    ...this error is telling out that you wrote baseMakesError1 to accept an "int" as an argument, and you are trying to pass it an instance of the ThomasR11.SubRT class. You either have to change baseMakesError1 to accept a SubRT as an argument, or change your call to pass an integer.

  • Calling another method in the class from within the body of a method Im wri

    Hello out there.
    I have a question. I keep getting an error that reads as follows:
    1 error found:
    File: /Users/matthieubell/Academia/University of Waterloo/CS 125/L06/CreditCard.java [line: 80]
    Error: double cannot be dereferenced
    I think it is occuring because I am trying to call a method on an instance variable, which is not an object. But how do call a method I have already written, on another method I am writing in the general sense. I could make a particular object, but Im not shure that would get me the same result. I want to be able to call the method calcMinPayment on the instance variable currentBalance to wirte the method makePayment.
    I have a class CreditCard
    with the instance variables "private double currentBalance = 0; "
    public double calcMinPayment()
    // Add code here
    double minimumPayment;
    if (currentBalance < 50)
    minimumPayment = currentBalance/10;
    else
    minimumPayment = 50;
    return minimumPayment; // Replace this statement
    * This method will decrease the current balance on the credit card if
    * this payment meets or exceeds the minimum payment amount.
    * pre: paymentAmt > 0
    * post: The current balance should be decreased by paymentAmt if
    * paymentAmt >= the minimum payment amount. Otherwise, the payment
    * will not be recorded and an appropriate error message should be
    * displayed.
    public void makePayment(double paymentAmt)
    // Add code here
    double minimumPaymentAmount;
    minimumPaymentAmount = currentBalance.calcMinPayment();
    if (paymentAmt < minimumPaymentAmount)
    System.out.println("Sorry, but your payment must exceed the minimum payment amount.");
    System.out.println("This payment has not been recorded, please try again.");
    else
    this.currentBalance = currentBalance - paymentAmt;
    thanks for youre help
    -Matthieu

    'calcMinPayment' takes no arguments, uses a member variable (currentBalance) to compute a local variable 'minimumPayment' which it returns, ie, sends back to the caller. So you can call 'calcMinPayment' at any time.
    minimumPaymentAmount = calcMinPayment();
