So I am creating a Netflix based application for a school assignment. So yes this is homework. I created a userinterface that looks like the following
import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Queue; import java.util.Scanner; public class UserInterface extends Users { public UserInterface(String userName, double accountNumber, Queue<Movie> playList, Queue<Movie> lastMovies) { super(userName, accountNumber, playList, lastMovies); } public static void main(String[] args){ Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); while(true){ System.out.println("X) Exit"); System.out.println("0) Create a new movie"); System.out.println("1) Add Movie to your playlist"); System.out.println("2) Upgrade your account"); char c = keyboard.next().charAt(0); switch(c){ case 'X': System.exit(0); case '0': createMovies; case '1': for(int i= 0; i < playList.size(); i++) System.out.println(playList); break; case '2': System.out.println("Small one time free of $10,000,000!"); break; } } } }
so now what I am running into is the "case '0'" selection, where I am trying to just call "createMovies;" which is a method inside another class which looks like the following
import java.util.Date; import java.util.Scanner; public class createMovie { public Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); public static void main(String args[]) { } public void createMovies() { String password = "adminpassword"; boolean isAdmin = false; double inputPrice = 0; String inputMovie; String inputGenre; Date inputDate = new Date(); String inputPassword; System.out.println("Enter Movie Title:"); inputMovie = keyboard.nextLine(); System.out.println("Enter Movie Genre:"); inputGenre = keyboard.nextLine(); System.out.println("Enter Admin Password:"); inputPassword = keyboard.nextLine(); passCheck(inputPassword, password, isAdmin); adminPower(isAdmin, inputPrice); Movie movies = new Movie(inputMovie, inputDate, inputGenre, inputPrice); } public void passCheck(String inputPassword, String password, boolean isAdmin) { if(inputPassword == password) { isAdmin = true; } else System.out.println("Sorry wrong password"); } public void adminPower(boolean isAdmin, double inputPrice) { if (isAdmin == true) System.out.println("Enter Movie Price:"); inputPrice = keyboard.nextDouble(); } }
and without adding more code to this post I will just say this creates a Movie object, that I will later have saved to a Movie selection linked list, and then allow the user to select movies out of that list.
So the problem is I can't get the function to call properly inside my interface class. How would I go about doing this? I tried creating a "createMovie movies = null;" and then passing it through the function like so "movies.createMovies(); but apparently that doesn't actually do anything because it is null.
