Problem using PixelGrabber ( cannot resolve symbol ) - newbie

Hi All,
I have a problem with my short program because the compiler write this (jdk1.4) :
img.java:17: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor PixelGrabber (java.awt.Image,int,int,int,int,int[],int)
location: class java.awt.image.PixelGrabber
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(image,0,0,image.getWidth(this
),image.getHeight(this),pixels,0);
^
1 error
... And I wrote that in my code :
( all is OK, the bug is only when I uncomment the line where the PixelGrabber object
is needed in my program ).
Thanks if you have any idea of solution to solve this problem or a doc,
( I don't find the answer to my problem in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/awt/image/PixelGrabber.html ),
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.image.PixelGrabber;
public class img extends Applet {
Image image;
int pixels[];
public void init() {
image = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "rouge.jpg");
pixels = new int[image.getWidth(this) * image.getHeight(this)];
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(image,0,0,image.getWidth(this),image.getHeight(this),pixels,0);
     pg.grabPixels();
public void paint(Graphics g) {
          String s = Integer.toString(pixels[5], 16);
          g.drawString(s, 50, 50);

Hi,
PixelGrabber needs one more parameter scansize (width).
change this line;
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(image,0,0,image.getWidth(this),image.getHeight(this),pixels,0);
to:
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(image,0,0,image.getWidth(this),image.getHeight(this),pixels,0, image.getWidth(this)
);

  • Help!!! error: cannot resolve symbol

    can anyone tell me how to solve the following problem
    thank you
    cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method decode (java.lang.String)
    location: class java.lang.Short
    Short psmShort = Short.decode(psmString);
    ^
    Long bdAddrLong = Long.decode("0x" + bdAddrString);
    ^

    that is because these methods does not exist. What you can use instead is parseShort(String) or parseLong.
    Maybe reading the javadoc could help you next time ;-)

  • Having Problem with using JUnit...causes "cannot resolve symbol" problems..

    Hello, say i have a class
    A
    that contains an object of class B.
    Now there's class X...
    It's all fine and dandy trying to compile them both until i try to set the classpath for junit, by doing:
    set classpath=%classpath%;C:\junit3.8.1\junit.jar
    i'm pretty sure it's correct...
    well once i type in this line into my command prompt (win 2k), the junit package now seems to be recognized by class X, which is my testing class that contains an object of class A.
    but NOW class A can't find class B and i get a cannot resolve symbol error. Same goes for class X not being able to find class A.
    Anyone have any suggestions? I'm a newb to this :( . Thanks.

    nevermind! noob mistake.

    To me it seems as if there is a problem with my environmental settings and/or with the "import" files, but wouldn't that yield different error messages?
    I'm running j2sdk1.4.0_01 on windows2000 professional
    I should say that simple programs compile without errors.

    as i have already posted another probleme which i have with selecting 1000 rows 1 by 1 from a table & manipulate 1 by 1 on that and then store all manipulated row to another table.
    when i tried to do so i am able to select only 600 rows and manipulate them & store them.
    i did not get any exception or any error.
    can this possible that microsoft access driver has not that much capacity to provide 1000 rows or it is problem with jdbc.

  • Compilation problem (cannot resolve symbol)

    I have searched the Forums for "cannot resolve symbol" and as usual, many posts with no answers or just advise that noone ever comes back to say works. I am trying to compile this code:

    import java.util.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import javax.naming.*;
    import org.acme.*;

    p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, factory );
    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext( p );
    //Lookup the bean using it's deployment id
    Object obj = ctx.lookup("/Hello");

    //Use the HelloHome to create a HelloObject

    I don't know why any of these errors are occuring, besides the obvious responses given back from javac, so can someone help? Thanks, Jeremy

    The error message "x already defined in y" means that you're trying to use a name that already exists in the current scope. In your case you have:
    HelloHome ejbHome = (HelloHome) obj;
    //Use the HelloHome to create a HelloObject
    HelloHome ejbHome = (HelloHome)
    PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, HelloHome.class);Here you are trying to declare two instances of HelloHome with the same name.
    The reason that you would get "cannot resolve symbol" is that you are trying to access a variable or class that you haven't declared or imported.

    it told me cannot resolve symbol , framePerSecond...
    help!!!why i can't resolve the symbol?
    thx all experts.
    yours,

    cannot resolve symbol , framePerSecondPerhaps because you declared a variable whose name is "framesPerSecond" and then you tried to use "framePerSecond" instead of that?

  • Cannot  resolve symbol - attempt to use System.out.printf

    Hi All,
    I adapted a HelloWorld program to use
    System.out.printf instead of System.out.println (just for a test)
    The println comand compiles fine with no errors, but for some reason the printf generates compile time error. Please let me know what am doing wrong.
    Below is the error:
    d:\j2sdk1.4.1_05\bin>javac HelloWorld.java
    HelloWorld.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method Printf (java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
    location: class java.io.PrintStream
    System.out.printf("%s","Hello, world!");
    ^
    1 error
    code:
    public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
    System.out.printf("%s","Hello, world!");
    }

    If you check the documentation you can see this method was added in version 1.5
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html#printf(java.util.Locale,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.Object...)
    BTW: I suggest you use a current version of java, either 1.4.2_09 or 1.5.0_04

    Two things I want to know:
    1. I was trying to access a variable as JLabel
    myLabel; defined in the constructor of a class from
    the constructor of another class. I got this error
    message - "Cannot access non-static variable from a
    static context". Why(When both are non-static am I
    getting the message as static context)?Post some code. It's hard to pinpoint a syntax error like that without seeing the code.
    Also, there may be cleaner ways of doing what you want without having classes sharing labels.
    2. I am using a map to set the attributes of a font.
    One of the key-value pair of the map is
    TextAttributesHashMap.put(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND,Colo
    .BLUE);
    But when I using the statement g.drawString("First
    line of the address", 40, 200); the text being
    displayed is in black and not blue. Why?You need to use the drawString that takes an AttributedCharacterIterator:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.font.*;
    import java.text.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Example  extends JPanel {
        public static void main(String[] args)  {
            JFrame f = new JFrame("Example");
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            Container cp = f.getContentPane();
            cp.add(new Example());
            f.setSize(400,300);
            f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            f.setVisible(true);
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent(g);
            String text = "Every good boy does fine always";
            AttributedString as = new AttributedString(text);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FAMILY, "Lucida Bright");
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SIZE, new Float(16));
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.BLUE, 0, 5);

    There is no way to be able to see MyDocumentListener class in the way you wrote. The reason is because MyDocumentListener class inside the constructor itself. MyDocumentListener class is an inner class, not suppose to be inside a constructor or a method. What you need to do is simple thing, just move it from inside the constructor and place it between two methods.

  • JSP page "cannot resolve symbol"

    Hi,
    I'm using j2sdk1.4.2_01 and tomcat-5.0.13. I'm developing within Eclipse 3.0.0 with the Tomcat plugin.
    In my project ("Agenda2") i only created one class ("Persona"), that is correctely compiled (%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\Agenda2\WEB-INF\src\Persona.java results in %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\Agenda2\WEB-INF\classes\Persona.class, and 0 problems are shown in the Problems list.
    In %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\Agenda2 i have my Edit.jsp, that begins with these lines:
    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" %>
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Edit</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <jsp:useBean id="personaAtt" class="Persona">
        <jsp:setProperty name="personaAtt" property="*" />
    </jsp:useBean>
    ....When i call the JSP from the browser, i get this error:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 8 in the jsp file: /Edit.jsp
    Generated servlet error:

    ----jspDoes anybody can see the problem ?

    Thanks! I'm going to try to put the class into a package as both you have suggested, and i'll post here the result.
    In the meantime i have a related newbie question:
    putting the class into a package, is this kind of a workaround, or it's the "normal thing" ?
    I mean, is it mandatory to put classes into a package in order to import them from JSP pages ?
    It was my understanding that it isn't mandatory, but - from your replies and many other posts in this forum - i'm starting to think that i'm wrong.

    First, you only need to create the FileInputStream once. Then that's what you pass to the InputStreamReader constructor. Your code for reading from the BufferedReader is also wrong.FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(outputLocation+filename);
    // FileInputStream bis = new FileInputStream(fstream);  <-- remove this line
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
    // available() doesn't do what you think it does; forget about it.
    // Here's the standard way to use a BufferedReader
    String line = null;
    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
      // process 'line'
    } There are probably other errors in the code, but reading all that unformatted code is too much of a hassle. In future, please use &#x7B;code} tags when posting source code.

  • Factory method generateRandomCircle: "cannot resolve symbol"

    I have written 2 classes: Point and Circle, which uses Point objects in order to create a Circle object. I have created a factory method for Point, which creates random Point objects and a for Circle, which does the same. "newRandomInstance" works fine for Point, but "generateRandomCircle" throws a "cannot resolve symbol" error. "main" is inside Point class. What's the problem?
    Thanks

    int b= (int) (Math.random()* Short.MAX_VALUE);
    Point p=new Point(a,b);
    int r= (int) (Math.random()* Short.MAX_VALUE);
    Circle c= new Circle(p,r);

    return new Point(x,y);
    public static void main (String[] args)
    Circle cRandom= generateRandomCircle(); //doesn't work
    System.out.println(cRandom.getCenter()+" "+ cRandom.getRadius());
    Point randomP= newRandomInstance(); //works OK
    randomP.printPoint();
    }

    I tried "Circle cRandom=
    Circle.generateRandomCircle(); " instead of "Circle
    cRandom= generateRandomCircle();" and it worked. Why
    did this happen?Because generateRandomCircle() exists in class Circle and not in class Point where your are trying to use it.
    >
    Function "newRandomInstance()" works either as
    "Point.newRandomInstance()" or as
    "newRandomInstance()", however. Why does this
    controversy exist?No controversy! Your main() is contained within class Point and as such knows about everything that is declared in class Point() but nothing about what is in class Circle unless you tell it to look in class Circle.
