Help with import AWTKeyStroke and swing.KeyStroke

[susan]

What do you need to import to instantiate a newly KeyStroke object? Here's the code I have:

Code:

import java.awt.AWTKeyStroke;
import javax.swing.KeyStroke;
...
KeyStroke k = new KeyStroke();
...
System.out.println("Type something: ");
key = k.getKeyStroke();
System.out.println("The key you pressed was: "+key+".\n");
...

When I compile the program I get.

Code:

--------------------Configuration: <Default>--------------------
C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\KeyLogger.java:19: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor KeyStroke ()
location: class javax.swing.KeyStroke
KeyStroke k = new KeyStroke();
^
C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\KeyLogger.java:26: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method getKeyStroke ()
location: class javax.swing.KeyStroke
key = k.getKeyStroke();

Thanks.

The compiler is telling you it cannot find a no–argument Keystroke constructor.
Look in the KetStroke class api. There are no constructors. All KeyStroke instances are obtained from the static methods.

Code:

KeyStroke k = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(5 possible args);

key = k.getKeyStroke();

Same thing: can't find a method getKeyStroke called on a KeyStroke instance. Check the api. A KeyStroke instance is already a KeyStroke.

Code:

KeyStroke keyStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("UP");
