PApplet call methods

Hyper_Mïko

Hi,

I try to install the PApplet in eclypse for make bigger and cleaner project, the installation work : i can launch a window and add content. But, i want create external class who call methods like rect(float, float, float, float) or other.

My first tab :

package fr.hyper_mïko.gereform;

import processing.core.PApplet;

public class GereForm extends PApplet{
    protected byte nPage;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PApplet.main("fr.hyper_mïko.gereform.GereForm");
    }
    public void settings() {
        fullScreen(2);
    }
    public void setup() {
        background(0);
    }
    public void draw() {
        rect(mouseX, mouseY, 10, 10); //It's working
    }
}

My second tab :

package fr.hyper_mïko.gereform.util.IO;

import processing.core.*;

public class Button extends Inputs{
    public Object interact() {
        if(PApplet.mouseX > this.posX) //Here i tried to read mouseX like in processing ide
        return null;
    }
    public void process() {}
    public void display() {
        PApplet.rect(posX, posY, sizeX, sizeY); //Here i tried to call rect() like in processing ide
    }
}

Of course i have the abstract superclass Inputs with posX, posY, sizeX, sizeY

on PApplet.mouseX and PApplet.rect() in have the error "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field PApplet.mouseX" and "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method rect(float, float, float, float) from the type PApplet"

I understand the error but i don't know how to fix it.

Someone call tell me what is wrong with my code (or with me) ?

Either your Button class or its parent Inputs need to request the PApplet instance reference from your GereForm class. :-B

Best place to request that PApplet reference is straight from your class' constructor: *-:)

public class Button extends Inputs {
  protected final PApplet p;

  public Button(final PApplet pa) {
    p = pa;
  }

  public void display() {
    p.rect(posX, posY, sizeX, sizeY);
  }
}
