Why a "private static" is not seen in a method?
I have a class with the following declaration of the fields:
public class Game {
private static String outputFileName;
....
}
I set the value of the outputFileName
in the main
method of the class.
I also have a write
method in the class which use the outputFileName
. I always call write
after main
sets value for outputFileName
. But write
still does not see the value of the outputFileName
. It say that it's equal to null
.
Could anybody, pleas, tell me what I am doing wrong?
ADDED As it is requested I post more code:
In the main:
String outputFileName = userName + "_" + year + "_" + month + "_" + day + "_" + hour + "_" + minute + "_" + second + "_" + millis + ".txt";
f=new File(outputFileName);
if(!f.exists()){
try {
f.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generat开发者_运维知识库ed catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.out.println("IN THE MAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
System.out.println("------>" + outputFileName + "<------");
This line outputs me the name of the file.
Than in the write
I have:
public static void write(String output) {
// Open a file for appending.
System.out.println("==========>" + outputFileName + "<============");
......
}
And it outputs null.
Seems like you have a local variable or a parameter with the same name
on the first line of your main
code
String outputFileName = ...
needs to be
outputFileName = ...
otherwise you're making a new, local, var called outputFileName, and the private static
one isn't getting touched.
