Passing Variables from a class to another class
Hi,
What I need is to pass variables defined in "Class1" to "Class2" so that they can be used by "Class2", such as an array of items.
A sample code of what I need would be :
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Test extends java.applet.Applet{
//-The list of items is put in an Array--//
public class List {
int nbItems = 0;
//Variables I need to reuse//
String[] itemname = new String[50];
void Acquire(){
try{
FileReader source = new FileReader("sourcetext.txt");
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(source);
boolean eof = false;
while(!eof){
String line=buff.readLine();
if(line == null)
eof = true;
else{
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line,";");
itemname[nbItems] = st.nextToken();
}
nbItems++;
}
buff.close();
}catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("File Error");
}catch(SecurityException s){
System.out.println("Unauthorized Access");
}
}
}
// I need to reuse variables below (at least) //
public void init(){
List newlist = new List();
newlist.Acquire();
// From now, how can I reuse itemname[] which I defined in the Acquire method so that I can use it in a spreadsheet, or in a Choice or in whatever I need to use it ? //
// I think I would use something like: for(i=0;i<=itemname.length;i++){...} //
}
}
I hope I was clear enough for you to understand my needs, and that you will be able to give me helpful hints or codes.
Thanx in advance !
