Thread: Incompatible Types error

Hi all,

I created a class that has three int variables and one String, and the respective constructor method with all of them.

public class CalendarioUser {
int dia;
int mes;
int año;
String nombre;

however, in the main class (which is in another class file), I can't import the String element because it gives me the error "incompatible types: string cannot be converted to CalendarioUser (the name of my class that contains the variable)"

This is how I made it:

public static void main(String[] args) {
CalendarioUser nombreUser = new CalendarioUser();
nombreUser = nombreUser.nombre; (this part contains an error)

I can't figure it out! Why is it giving me this error? isn't supposed to be compatible with Strings if it contains a String variable?
how should I fix it? Im a beginner with Java code.

Thanks!

Im trying to bring the variable and value of nombre from the other class into this one. That's why I created that piece. The other int elements didn't bring me any errors.

--- Update ---

also nombre is an element within the CalendarioUser class. So I dont understand why it doesn't read it as such

Class "CalendarioUser.java"

public class CalendarioUser {
   int dia;
   int mes;
   int año;
   String nombre;
 
 
 
public void calendarioUsuario(String nombreUsuario, int fechaDia, int fechaMes, int fechaAño){
 
dia = fechaDia;
mes = fechaMes;
año = fechaAño;
nombre = nombreUsuario;
}

Class "MainApp.java" (where the Main method is)

public class MainApp {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      CalendarioUser nombreUser = new CalendarioUser();
      CalendarioUser datosUser = new CalendarioUser();
       nombreUser = nombreUser.nombre;   
 
       datosUser.pedirDatos();
 
       System.out.println(nombreUser + ", tu versículo del día es: 1 Corintios 13.");
       System.out.println("Bendiciones!");
 
 
    }

Does that help?

Ok, I see. How can i bring that value into the main class/ method?

Yeah exactly.

Ok Ill try that, that "reftoCalendarioUser" is what i want to create.

Yes, but one is working and the other is not. One is to refer to a int object inside CalendarioUser and it works,
the other one is to refer to a String object in the same class, and that's the one that is not working

I tried this and it didn't work. I think I'm not understanding:

public static void main(String[] args) {
 
      CalendarioUser datosUser = new CalendarioUser();
 
        String nombreDemo;
        nombreDemo = CalendarioUser.nombre;

The error now is "A non-static variable can't be referenced from a static context". Is there a solution to this?.

Thanks!

I just don't understand how to call into a class objects from another class
