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

here:

public void setReminderID(long id) {
    id = reminderID;  //<-- wrong, should be the other way around
    System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Setter: " + reminderID);
}

You should use reminderID = id instead

Also:

public void onCreate(Bundle SavedInstance) {

    reminderID = 16;           //one of these two lines..
    setReminderID(reminderID); //..should do it      

}

No need to set the reminderId twice

Answer 2

Thanks for all your help you guys. I wasn't able to figure out why my getters and setters weren't working, even though I followed all of your guys' suggestions. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that reminderID is taken in as an argument of a constructor. Either way, I solved my problem by using Android's Bundle and transferring my variables from one activity to another through that.

Again, thanks for all your help! :)

Answer 3

Your setter should look like this:

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

Your remainderID variable should be on the left. The way you had it written, id was being set to reminderID.

Also, in your getter:

public long getReminderID() {
    return reminderID;
    System.out.println("Reminder ID Value in Getter: " + reminderID);
}

Since the System.out.println is after the return, then you shouldn't ever see the output. Return will end the function right there.
