newbie: Issue with storing string variable and passing it to another class

[wilnicm]

Hey this is a stupid question but I'm having an issue storing the variable and passing it along to another class.
I've been debugging the program and i can see that the string variable is being stored
but when i access it from my other class it is null here is the sample code.


this is an inner class
public Class exmaple {

public String str;


Public void mthd (){
somthing somethng
str = anotherstring;
getStrn (anotherstring);
}

public String getStrn(String tstr){

return str
}

}



public class anotherClass{

private vod bth {

exmaple exp = new exmaple();
String mystring = exp.str;

}



}


Well when it gets to my other class its null. While i'm debugging it in the other class where i'm setting it
I see it being set. But as soon as i leave it and go to the method in another class its null. I dont know what i'm
missing here?

Warning: brutal honest mode.

There are no stupid questions.

But questions can be poorly asked. Posting uncompilable gibberish is a good start of a very poorly asked question.

When posting code please wrap it in [ code] tags [ /code].

As gimbal says, also post code that at least makes some sense.

Is this really what your getter looks like?

public String getStrn(String tstr)

lolol listen i understand you cant read gibberish since your advanced skills have retarded that part of your brain but i was asssuming someone our here in java forums land was once in my position and could read the gibberish and help me. Thats all. I was trying to be as specific and gibberish as possible.

gibberish will be more readable if wrapped in code tags.

[wilnicm]

public Class exmaple {

public String str;


Public void mthd (){
somthing somethng 
str = anotherstring;
getStrn (anotherstring);
}

public String getStrn(String tstr){

return str
}

}



public class anotherClass{

private vod bth {

exmaple exp = new exmaple();
String mystring = exp.str;

}



}

Done.

The code has lost all its indentations. Nested statements (within {}s ) should be indented.

What is the name of the variable?
Where in the posted code is the value of the variable set to a valid value and where is its value null?

Do you often insult people for the fun of it?

Listen i don't go around insulting people and i'm not in any mood to insult when i'm asking for help, but i took your quote

as a sly underhand diss so i responded accordingly, you took it the same way i took you writing that comment. Now getting back to
the task at hand.

What do need to post so i can get some traction to figuring out what i'm doing wrong. My code is long so i didn't want to post all the lines of code on here. I thought by posting the code you called gibberish maybe someone could undersand what i was trying to do.

In short. I'm trying to use a string that is located in another class in a different method. When the string gets to the method i'm trying to use its already null. I dont really know why its already null tried debugging it and havent really figured it out.

If you think the String variable is getting set to a value (not null) make sure that the code that sets the value is called before the code that retrieves the null value. To see the order of events, Add some println() statements to print out when that happens.

If you need help, Make a small, complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem. Without code that shows the problem, its hard to solve it.

Well good luck with that attitude. Lucky for you there are nicer people than me here who look past such behavior, I certainly do not.
