    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    I guess the correct question is: How do I put the #2 above my while loop and only ask for it when ready?.... I thought I was already doing that.

    Post#45 suggested there be two loops:
    1) to get the data
    2) to display the data

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    I have implemented 2 while loops and using my if conditionals inside the loops.... I still am having the problems with showing my contacts.... I get both when I am supposed to show business, I get duplicate when I am supposed to show personal, and both works fine.

    Code:
    package contacts2;
    
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.io.File;
    //import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
    import java.io.FileWriter;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import java.util.*;
    //import java.io.*;
    //import java.util.List;
    
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.FileReader;
    
    
    /**
     *
     * @author Drew
     */
    public class Contacts2 {
         
    
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) 
        {
            //Instantiates the Scanner Class
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            
           // readFile r = new readFile();
            System.out.println("Please enter:\n 1 to add a business contact\n 2 to add a personal conatact"
                    + "\n 3 to display the contacts \n 4 to Quit " );

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    What did you change?
    The question is still OUTSIDE of the loop?
    There are more questions inside of the loop.

    I thought there were to be two loops:
    // First loop to process input and save it
    begin loop1
    question about input
    process input
    end loop1

    // Second loop to display input from above
    begin loop2
    question about display
    do requested display
    end loop2

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    Did I mention that my initial display has to give options
    1) add business contacts
    2) add personal contacts
    3) show contacts --then lead to which contact
    4) exit

    So it should look like:

    1) ask initial questioning (see above)
    2) create loop through 1-2 till complete
    3) upon choosing 3 (ask user which contact) ,loop through till desire selection is complete
    4) display the correct contact
    5) terminate program

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    How can the initial display show option 3 if there are not any contacts entered yet?

    Is the design shown in post#49 wrong?
    Can there be an intermixing of adding contacts and showing contacts?
    Or are they separated as shown? Do all of one BEFORE doing the next.

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    I still must be able to give the option to show the unpopulated file and produce it if so desired...... Stupid I know, but none the less it is what is required... It would have been a lot easier the other way around.....

    Ask for contact input, when done ask which for which contact wanted to be shown.

    IN the beginning of the main method, I create both txt files that are going to be written on..... That way I can call an empty file if needed.

    Then back to one loop with the questions inside and at the top of the loop.

    That is what I have saying .... I still get issues with run-time.

    You haven't changed the code as I suggested.

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    As I run a single While loop at the beginning, I get a continues loop when I select which contact to view.....

    Is this the basic layout?


    ***Ask initial question
    While loop (1-4)
    1)If add Business{some action}
    2)else if add Personal{some action}
    3)else if view contact{(Ask which contact to view)
    While loop(1-3)
    ****1a)if view Business txt file
    **** 2a)else if view Personal txt file
    **** 3a)else view both txt files
    else{quit}

    While NOT 1-4{inform user not valid, and rerun from beginning}

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    Why are there 2 while loops?
    How does the code exit the 2nd loop if the control variable's value isn't changed?

    Re: Still can not call my Subclass method returns. J2EE

    At the end of the code, I change the user's input to the exit #4

    Example: "enter" is the variable I am using for 1-4 (with 4 being the exit) ....At the end of the code for 1a-3a, I put "enter = 4"; this exits and terminates the program.

    Code:
      if(showCont == 1 )
                  {
                  try {
    			File file = new File("business.txt");
    			FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(file);
    			BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
    			StringBuilder stringBuffer = new StringBuilder();
    			String line;
    			while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
    				stringBuffer.append(line);
    				stringBuffer.append("\n");
    			}
    			fileReader.close();
    			System.out.println("Contents of file:");
    			System.out.println(stringBuffer.toString());
    		} catch (IOException e) {
                        System.out.println("You have an error that is not priting!!!!");}
                  
    		//showCont = newShow;
                   enter = 4;
                  
                  }

    Why have a while loop if it will only execute once? Why not use an if statement?

    I have removed all WHILE loops except at the beginning, now I have an infinite loop when I select to view my contact.
    Code:
    package contacts2;
    
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    //import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.io.File;

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;

    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import java.util.*;
    //import java.io.*;
