Use methods of another class

Dear Sir/madam,
i have a question about using methods of another class. I will explane:
i have made a class which is called A. This class has some attributes (studentName and examRank) and some methods.
Now i need to made another class called B. Now i want to make an array where i can add some attributes of objects which i made of class A. How can i do that?
Kind regards

Here's a for-instance that doesn't use your exact program but demonstrates the point:
public class A
  int value;
  String name;
  public A(int value, String name)
    this.name = name;
    this.value = value;
  public int getValue()
    return value;
  public String getName()
    return name;
  public String toString()
    return name + ": " + value;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Random;
public class B
  private static final String[] NAMES =
    "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
  private static final int MAX = 100;
  private A[] myAs = new A[NAMES.length];
  private Random random = new Random();
  public B()
    for (int i = 0; i < myAs.length; i++)
      myAs[i] = new A(random.nextInt(MAX), NAMES);
public String toString()
return Arrays.toString(myAs);
public int getTotal()
int temp = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < myAs.length; i++)
temp += myAs[i].getValue();
return temp;
public static void main(String[] args)
B b = new B();
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println("Total: " + b.getTotal());

  • Use a method from another class in another package?

    How can I use a method from another class in another package?

    What do you mean by "new keyword?" You posted this previously:
    I tried that, it seems to not be working. I want to use the constructor from the other class. I imported it, using this piece of code:
    import components.FileChooser;
    components.FileChoser();
    Typically if I am going to call a constructor on a class called Fubar, I'd use new to create a new object:
    Fubar myFubar = new Fubar();Incidently, is it a simple typo in your post or are you trying to use a FileChoser object when it should be FileChooser?

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to call methods from another class from within an abstract c

    Is it possible to call methods from another class from within an abstract class ?

    I found an example in teh JDK 131 JFC that may help you. I t is using swing interface and JTable
    If you can not use Swing, then you may want to do digging or try out with the idea presented here in example 3
    Notice that one should refine the abstract table model and you may want to create a method for something like
    public Object getValuesAtRow(int row) { return data[row;}
    to give the desired row and leave the method for
    getValuesAt alone for getting valued of particaular row and column.
    So Once you got the seelcted row index, idxSelctd, from your table
    you can get the row or set the row in your table model
    public TableExample3() {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Table");
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}});
    // Take the dummy data from SwingSet.
    final String[] names = {"First Name", "Last Name", "Favorite Color",
    "Favorite Number", "Vegetarian"};
    final Object[][] data = {
         {"Mark", "Andrews", "Red", new Integer(2), new Boolean(true)},
         {"Tom", "Ball", "Blue", new Integer(99), new Boolean(false)},
         {"Alan", "Chung", "Green", new Integer(838), new Boolean(false)},

         {"Amy", "Fowler", "Yellow", new Integer(3), new Boolean(false)},
         {"Brian", "Gerhold", "Green", new Integer(0), new Boolean(false)},

    // Create a model of the data.
    TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {

    public int getColumnCount() { return names.length; }
    public int getRowCount() { return data.length;}
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {return data[row][col];}
    // The default implementations of these methods in
    // AbstractTableModel would work, but we can refine them.
    public String getColumnName(int column) {return names[column];}
    public Class getColumnClass(int col) {return getValueAt(0,col).getClass();}

  • How do you call a method from  another class without extending as a parent?

    How do you call a method from another class without extending it as a parent? Is this possible?

    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.
    Is that what you were asking or am I totally misunderstanding your question?

  • Use methods in other classes

    Can I use methods from other classes than the class that myClass extends?
    ex. myClass extends parentClass{
    myMethod()
    myMethod() is declared in i third class. Is this possible or can I only use classes from the parent class?
    -Thanks-

    I'm not really sure what the previous two answers were getting at.
    Yes, you can use methods all the way up the class hierarchy, as long as they are visible.
    For example, Object implements toString(). You can call toString() on any object in Java and it will render the object to a string in one way or another. That is because toString() is public.
    If toString() were protected, you would only be able to call the method if you were a subclass of of that object (or in the same package), which would make the toString() method much less useful.
    I would suggest reading up on the differences in the four visibility modifiers (private, (default), protected, and public). Private is the only one which nothing else can call. If you are public or protected, any subclass can call the method, even if there are 20 superclasses between the implementor and the caller.
    Good luck!

  • 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

    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.)

  • Calling a TextFields get method from another class as a String

    This is my first post so be kind....
    I'm trying to create a login screen with Java Studio Creator. The Login.jsp has a Text Field for both the username and password. JSC automatically created get and set methods for these.
    public class Login extends AbstractPageBean
    private TextField usernameTF = new TextField();
    public TextField getUsernameTF() {
    return usernameTF;
    public void setUsernameTF(TextField tf) {
    this.usernameTF = tf;
    private PasswordField passwordTF = new PasswordField();
    public PasswordField getPasswordTF() {
    return passwordTF;
    public void setPasswordTF(PasswordField pf) {
    this.passwordTF = pf;
    My problem is in trying to call these methods from another class and return the value as a string.
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    the method returns the textfield, so you just need to get its text

  • 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
    class showpanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseMotionListener {
           framepanel fp = new framepanel();
           --omitted--
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                  if(e.getSource() == button1){
                       fp.addLayer();
    /*is in a different class file*/
    class framepanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
            --omitted--
         public void addLayer(){
              listmodel.addElement("Layer"+numLayer);
              numLayer++;
    }

  • Running a main Method from another class??

    Hi,
    I am trying to run a main method from another class, eg the main method is in Class1 and i am trying to run it from class2.
    So I have
    class1 c1 = new class1();
    c1.main();and I get the following compilation error:
    clas2.java:42: main(java.lang.String[]) in class1 cannot be applied to () c1.main();
    any ideas on how to do this correctly
    thanks in advance,
    Donal

    Hi thanks for the replies,
    tried just passing a string earlier and that just gave errors too, I should have been more specific and pass a string array.
    Its working now thanks again.
