I have a class file. I do not have the java file. The class file is in the same folder as the driver foler or demo folder. I am creating the object in the driver file and then trying to call methods that are public and return a string in the name.class file. I am trying to copy the name.class file into a string or a string array by calling methods are public and return a string in the driver folder. I don't understand why I can't create the object and then call the method from the class file.

import java.util.*;

public class Demo  {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String MovieTitle;
		String rating;
		double firstWeekRev;
		
		MovieList[] name = new MovieList();
		name.getFieldNames();
		name.getMovieRec();
		
		
		
		
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	}

}

the movie list is the class file

classname variablename;
variablename = new classname;

I have tried putting in a constructor but it freaks when I do that. Would the constructor go before the object or after it. It would make sense to me it would go after it because a constructor set the values of the instance variables.

name is an array of MovieList

so if MovieList as a method getFieldNames() you need to call it from one element of the array like

name[10].getFieldNames();

also even if you created an array of MovieList you will have to put a MovieList in each of them

name = new MovieList[10];
for(int i = 0; i < 10; name.length; i++) {
   name[i] = new MovieList();
}

MovieList can't be resolved as a type error. I don't know how big the array is. Its huge. Can the class file be thought of as a txt file. I just need this read in and copied into the array as a long string.

import java.util.*;

public class Demo  {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String MovieTitle;
		String rating;
		double firstWeekRev;
		/*
		public MovieList(String movieTitle, String rating, double firstWeekRev)
		{
			title = movieTitle;
			score = rating;
			rev = firstWeekRev;
		}
		
		*/
		
		
		//movie list can't be resolved into a type
		MovieList name[] = new MovieList();
		   	name = MovieList[1000];
			name = new MovieList[1000];
			for(int i = 0; i < 1000; name.length; i++) {
			   name[i] = new MovieList();
			}

		
		
		name[0].getFieldNames();
		name[1].getMovieRec();
		name[2].getmovieTitle();
		name[3].getrating();
		
		name[10].getFieldNames();

		
		
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	}

}

classname variablename
variablename = new classname

Why is this saying "movielist can't be resolved into a type. The method calls aren't throwing errors.

[pbl]

		MovieList name[] = new MovieList();
			   name = MovieList[1000];
			name = new MovieList[1000];

just the correct syntax will do

		MovieList name[] = new MovieList[1000];

MovieList is the class file. It still says type can't be resolved.

You dont have the files MovieList.java and MovieList.class in the same directory as Demo.java ?

[smith123456]

I have the MovieList.class file I do not have the MovieList.java file nor will I. I have to take the MovieList.class file and copy into a string or an array or something as one large string and print it to the screen. This should take like 10 minutes or that's what I was told lol The MovieList.class file is in the same folder as the Demo.java file or the Driver.java file

Nor do I know how big the class file is.

I give for the day. I am just going to play with it. Just thought I was doing something simple that was stupid. There is more to it than I thought.

This does not make sense... somebody is playing April fool on you

Please attach the MovieList class as a file, renaming the extension
