Swing boolean/String problem

[zhider]

in this code, I am having trouble with booleans and strings. I set name variable as a String and newname as a boolean. The problem with this is that I need to print newname and cannot print a boolean. When I change it to a string it says it found boolean and gives me an error. Any ideas?

private void CheckNameButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.Acti onEvent evt) {
String name;
name= OriginalNameInput.getText();
Boolean newname = convertName(name);
OutputLabel2.setText(newname);
}
public static boolean hasComma(String name){
boolean oName;
int x= name.indexOf(',');
if (x == -1) {
oName= false;
}else{
oName= (true);
}
return (oName);
}
public static boolean convertName(String name) {
boolean convert = false;
hasComma(name);
if (hasComma(name)== true) {
System.out.println (name);
}else{
String s = name;
String[] arr = s.split(" ");
System.out.println (arr[1]+ ", "+ arr[0]);
}
return (convert);
}

The problem with this is that I need to print newname and cannot print a boolean.

A print method that takes a boolean value exists. But looking at your code it seems you want to set the text of a label which indeed needs a String. So why not convert the boolean value to a String. Check out the String class or Boolean class. Both have a method to do this.

Actually they are quite helpful. If you can show us code with code tags, then we can actually read the code and understand it and be better able to help you. If you take his recommendations to heart, I guarantee you'll have a better experience here (and so will we!).
