Can't get the hang of methods!! What's wrong with my code??

[Denis2k11]

I'm trying to have a method that will ask in a menu option 1 or 2. Option 2 should make the scanner print out ''this is the load method'' but otpion 1 should ask for choose numbers1-3. However, everytime I execute it, the ''this is the laod method'' shows up if I press option 1 and choose any number. Why is this!? :(

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Menutesting
{
		static Object[] menu = {"Option 1.", "Option 2.", "Exit"};
		static Object[] menuSecondLevel = {"Choose number 1","Choose number 2","Choose number 3", "Exit"};
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		{
     		Object options = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Menu testing:", "Menu", 3, null, menu, menu[0]);
     		if (options == null || options.equals("Exit"))
						System.out.print("The program is terminated");
      		else if(options.equals("Option 1."))
      		{
	      		MethodCreate();
      		}
      		else if(choice.equals("Option 2."));
      		{
	      		MethodLoad();
      		}
  		}
	}
	public static void MethodCreate()
	{
		Object chooseOption = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Specify option:", "Menu", 3, null, menuSecondLevel, menuSecondLeve;[0]);
		System.out.print(chooseOption);
	}
	public static void MethodLoad()
	{
		System.out.print("This is the load method");
	}
}

else if(choice.equals("Option 2.")); <------

You've got a rogue ';' there which is short-circuiting your if statement.

I am not even certain how this compiles. The object "choice" does not seem to be declared anywhere. In MethodCreate() you have a typo in the spelling of menuSecondLeve;[0].
