Need help on an assignment using methods.

Question

The assignment I'm working on uses methods to input an integer and a character and then output a hollow square of the size of the integer and made up of the character entered. This is what I have so far, I'm not quite sure how to fill in the methods....
import java.util.Scanner; //For scanner class
public class Methods
{public static void giveInstructions()
     //instructions
     {System.out.println("Enter a character and an integer. A hollow square of size n times n made up of the character" +
          " will be constructed.");
public static int getSize (Scanner kbd)
     int size;
     Scanner kbd = new Scanner (System.in);
     System.out.println("     Enter the size: ");
     size = kbd.nextInt();
public static char getCharacter (Scanner kbd)     
     System.out.println("Enter the Character: ");
     final char ch;
     ch = kbd.nextLine();
public static void drawSquare(int size, char ch)
public static void drawSolidLine( int size, char ch )
       String s;
        for( int i = 0; i < size ; i++ )
                // ADD ch       
       System.out.println( s );
public static void drawHollowLine( int size, char ch )
            String s = "";
            // add char to s   
           for( int i = 0 ; i < ( size - 2) ; i++ )
                   s = s + " ";
           // Add char to s
          System.out.println( s );
}I would appreciate any kind of help!

> I'm really confused. I can't think of anything that I
would need to write under the main method because
everything that I need would be under the other
methods.
I assume you're replying to me(?). Did you compile and run my example? What is it you don't understand about it? I see your methods are all static so you could do something like this:
public class Test {
    public static void printA() {
        System.out.println("A");
    public static void printB() {
        System.out.println("B");
    public static void printSomething(String s) {
        System.out.println(s);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test.printA();
        Test.printB();
        Test.printSomething("AB");
}
