Question

I am using last.fm API from here http://code.google.com/p/lastfm-java/

I downloaded it to my workspace, checked it as library, and imported it to my project…
The problem comes when I try to use one method of the API

Artist[] artist = LastFmServer.searchForArtist("hatebreed");

I dont know why, it says

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method searchForArtist(String) from the type LastFmServer

But I have another error trying to solve it. It causes this line

String artist = Artist.getName();

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getName() from the type Artist

its my first time using APIs, and i started getting tired of these errors, please help

Answer 1

Like other said you need to Instantiate LastFmServer like

LastFmServer mLastFmServer= new LastFmServer();

and then called you method like

Artist[] artist = mLastFmServer.searchForArtist("hatebreed");
