question about a java error

[antyler]

The error is

It is telling me it "cannot find symbol"

symbol : method ShowInputDialog(<nulltype>,java.lang.String)
location: class javax.swing.JOptionPane
JOptionPane.ShowInputDialog(null,"Enter Package letter: A, B, or C.");
^
1 error

The original code i wrote it in is:

// Get one of the package names from the user

JOptionPane.ShowInputDialog(null,"Enter Package letter: A, B, or C.");
input = keyboard.nextLine();
letter = input.charAt(0);

can anyone help here, i cant seem to find out the problem.

Did you properly import the javax.swing.JOptionPane package?

 

[AgentEL]

check the java api. it looks like you may have a capitalization issue. Usually method names starts with a lower-case (ie. showInputDialog)

 

[randumb]

JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Package letter: A, B, or C.");

Yes i imported JOptionPane, and i will check the capitalization.
