Getter and Setters not working?

Question

I\'ve got two classes right now: RemindersDAO.java and ViewLocalReminders.java.

I\'m trying to get access to a variable that\'s in ViewLocalReminders.java and I\'m tryin

Answer 1

You're assignment of the reminder id is backwards

id = reminderID;

should read

reminderID = id; 

in you setReminderID method

Answer 2

you have

id = remainderID;

it should be

 remainderID = id;

Answer 3

public void setReminderID(long id) {
    this.reminderID = id;
    System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Setter: " + reminderID);
}

Answer 4

Your setter method seems wrong. You need to use your IDE's auto generation to create these methods.

Answer 5

I see that you accepted the answer. However, I think I know the problem about your getter-setter bug. It's about the order and order matters...it's like you're giving the instruction step-by-step.

Let me explain...

The first one, your setter method, did a mistake. (See marked comment/s)

public void setReminderID(long id) {
        id = reminderID; // --> your argument is id. reminderId field value should be changed not the other way around.
        System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Setter: " + reminderID);
    }

Here's the correct setter.

public void setReminderID(long id) {
    reminderID = id; // --> "id" is your parameter and that's the reminderID's new value.
    System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Setter: " + reminderID);
}

Next, about the getter. The reason why there's a bug in getter is because you have a wrong order. (See marked comment/s)

public long getReminderID() {
    return reminderID;
    System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Getter: " + reminderID); // --> putting this line code after "return" results an error and therefore you won't be able to obtain a number or value!
}

Here's the correct getter. Look carefully the difference.

public long getReminderID() {
    System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Getter: " + reminderID); // --> Anycode before "return" value will be fine.
    return reminderID; // --> Always put the "return" value at the last line within a getter method.
}

I hope you can use this correction for your future project in case whenever you need to apply the getter-setter method when you're programming. Remember that it's very important because ordering of the code matters and know where you direct the value changes. Questions?

Answer 6

try using this

this.remainderId = id;

instead of

remainderId = id;

in your model or domain.
