PrintEvent help

Once again I have come to a halt I am in the proccess of tracking down the answer, but if someone here could save me some time that would be splendid.

PrintEvent's (for the record I have already imported the PrintEvent class) syntax is like this..

Code:

---

new PrintEvent(method(args));

---

I have encased mine in the 'try' statment.

My only question is how do I tell java WHERE to PrintEvent(); also, what syntax do I use to do so.


Just in case you need it here's mine:

Code:

---


  PrintEvent pe = null;
  paraM = newObj(paraM);

  try {
    bw.write(paraM);
    pe = new PrintEvent(newObj(paraM));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
                        }

---

What are you trying to create a PrintEvent object for?
Do you get errors? Please copy and paste here the full text of the error message.

Where did you get the PrintEvent class from.

Code:

---

public String newObj(String paraM) {
 BufferedWriter bw = null;

  try {
    bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Objects"+(paraM)));
    bw.write(paraM);
      objectS(paraM);
    return paraM;
} catch (IOException ioe) {
                        }
          return null;
                  }
public void NewObjects(String paraM) {
//global
  BufferedWriter bw = null;
  PrintEvent pe = null;

  paraM = newObj(paraM);

  try {
    bw.write(paraM);
    pe = new PrintEvent(newObj(paraM));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
                        }


  makeGlobalObject(2536, 4717, 2213, -1, 10);
}

No error's just when I go though it it doesn't print the event anywhere.

Where are you trying to print the contents of the PrintEvent object?

Add this statement at the end of the NewObjects method to print it:
System.out.println("pe=" + pe); // print contents of PrintEvent object

Is there anyway Ican make system.out.println() or system.out.format() etc.. print in the NewObejcts() method?

Yes, You can use/call the System.out.println() method in any method.

Code:

---

call(system.out.println(paraM));

---

Say's 'package system does not exist

What is the syntax for call?

Check your spelling. Java is case sensitive.

Code:

---

      public String newObj(String paraM) {
 BufferedWriter bw = null;

  try {
    bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Objects//"+(paraM)));
    bw.write(paraM);
      objectS(paraM);
    return paraM;
    System.out.println(paraM);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
                        }
          return null;
                    }
public void NewObjects(String paraM) {
//global
  BufferedWriter bw = null;
  PrintEvent pe = null;




call(System.out.println(newObj(paraM)));

 makeGlobalObject(2536, 4717, 2213, -1, 10);
}

---

Say's

Code:

---

client.java:5618: 'void' type not allowed here
call(System.out.println((paraM)));
                      ^
1 error
Finished!
Press any key to continue . . .

---

I've tried

Code:

---

call(System.out.println(paraM));

---

aswell say's void not allowed? It's werid because, my newObj class isn't void??

Try this:
System.out.println("paraM=" + paraM);

Code:

---

call(System.out.println(paraM));

---

gets

Code:

---

client.java:5617: 'void' type not allowed here
call(System.out.println(paraM));
                      ^
1 error
Finished!
Press any key to continue . . .

---

I tried

Code:

---

  call(newObj(paraM));

---

and, got:

Code:

---

client.java:5617: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method call(java.lang.String)
location: class client
call(newObj(paraM));
^
1 error
Finished!

Where is the call(String) method defined? The compiler can not find its definition in the client class.

is it a class in API or is it an interface?

is it a class in API or is it an interface?


What is the "it"?

I did

Code:

---

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;

---

which compiles

then

Code:

---

call(newObj(paraM);

---

And same compiler error

Code:

---

client.java:5617: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method call(java.lang.String)
location: class client
call(newObj(paraM));
^
1 error
Finished!

Where is the method call defined? What class is it in?

This is VERRRRRRY basic OOP and java programming. You need to find some tutorials that will teach you about using classes and methods. The problems you are posting here show that you do NOT understand what a method is, how it relates to a class and how to use methods and classes.

correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't call in

Code:

---

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;

---

the Callable interface?

Oh WOW what a huge missunderstanding I must of read your post to fast

"Yes, You can use/call the System.out.println() method in any method."

I thought you meant there was an importable method call() haha, Okay well what I was saying is System.out.println() can it print it's arguments into another method or only into the GUI? If so, how do I get system.out.println to print into another method?

Your questions make no sense.
You need to do some reading and studying before trying to code programs.

I'm done here.
Good luck.
