Solved How to call a method from another class? >.<

I know this soud dump but I forgot how to call a method from another class to onEnable >.<

 

Is it a static method?

Code:java

<Classname>.<Methodname>();

Otherwise:

Code:java

<Classname> name = new <Classname>();
name.<Methodname>();

Here's a couple different ways

• Create a new instance of it
• Use static
• Use reflection

Creating a new instance:

Code:

SomeClass someClass = new SomeClass();
someClass.someMethod();

Using static:

Code:

SomeClass.someMethod(); // someMethod must be static

Using reflection:

Code:

Class<?> someClass = Class.forName("SomeClass");
Method someMethod = someClass.getDeclaredMethod("someMethod", parameterTypes);
someMethod.invoke(objectToInvokeOn, parameters);

 

It's no good looking for a good answer to your question here. It touches the basics of Java, and the answers you have gotten here tell you only half the story. You need to know when to use which solution, which implies a good understanding of Java and especially OOP.

 

Assist You also shouldn't be teaching beginner's about reflection, other than to imply it doesn't exist or that it's evil. It's for more advanced users and something can easily go wrong, especially in the hands of a beginner.

I found the answer thank you. AdamQpzm I am not a beginner. I have done plugins before for my server.

But you don't know how to "access methods from another class" prior?

 

Gater12 I forgot

I know. I thought I'd throw it in anyways as it is a way to do what he asked, but I am also not expecting him to use it.

This is a part of the very basics of Java, you must not be very experienced if you forget something like this.

 

Assist I didn't use your code, I read and understood it. I made my own way
