Question

I have created my menu with do~while(true); but every time the user insert a number, instead of running the program it shows the the menu again! what do you think?

// my main method

public static void main(String[] args) {

    DataReader reader = new DataReader(); // The reader is used to read data from a file

    // Load data from the file
    if(reader.loadData(args[0])) {          // The filename is entered using a command-line argument

        vehicles= reader.getVehicleData(); // Store the arrays of Vehicle

        // Display how many shapes were read from the file
        System.out.println("Successfully loaded " + vehicles[0].getCount() + 
                           " vehicles from the selected data file!");
        displayMenu();
    }
}

// dispaly menu method

private static void displayMenu() {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    do {
        System.out.println("\n\n          Car Sales Menu");
        System.out.println("--------------------------------------");
        System.out.println("1 - Sort vehicles by owner's Last Name");
        System.out.println("2 - Sort vehicles by vehicle Model");
        System.out.println("3 - Sort vehicles by vehicle Cost\n");
        System.out.println("4 - List All Vehicles");
        System.out.println("5 - List All Cars");
        System.out.println("6 - List American Cars Only (Formal)");
        System.out.println("7 - List Foreign Cars only (Formal)");
        System.out.println("8 - List All Trucks");
        System.out.println("9 - List All Bicycles");
        System.out.print("\nSelect a Menu Option: ");
        getInput(input.next()); // Get user input from the keyboard 
    }
    while(true); // Display the menu until the user closes the program
}

// getInput method

private static void getInput(String input) {
    switch(Convert.toInteger(input)) {
        case 1: // Sort Vehicles by Owner's Last Name
            Array.sortByOwnerName(vehicles);
            break;
        case 2: // Sort Vehicles by Vehicle Make & Model
            Array.sortByVehicleMakeModel(vehicles);
            break;
        case 3: // Sort Vehicles by Vehicle Cost
            Array.sortByVehicleCost(vehicles);
            break;
        case 4: // List All Vehicles
            displayVehicleData(0);
            break;

        default:
            System.out.print("The entered value is unrecognized!");
            break;
    }
}

Answer 1

Because you have while(true);, this means that the menu it will be in a infinite loop until a break is call.

Try to do something like:

 do {
        System.out.println("\n\n          Car Sales Menu");
        System.out.println("--------------------------------------");
        System.out.println("1 - Sort vehicles by owner's Last Name");
        System.out.println("2 - Sort vehicles by vehicle Model");
        System.out.println("3 - Sort vehicles by vehicle Cost\n");
        System.out.println("4 - List All Vehicles");
        System.out.println("5 - List All Cars");
        System.out.println("6 - List American Cars Only (Formal)");
        System.out.println("7 - List Foreign Cars only (Formal)");
        System.out.println("8 - List All Trucks");
        System.out.println("9 - List All Bicycles");
        System.out.print("\nSelect a Menu Option: ");
    try {
        int input = Integer.parseInt(getInput(input.next())); // Get user input from the keyboard 


        switch (input) {
        case 1:  // do something
                 break;
        case 2:  // do something
                 break;
        ...
       }
      } catch (NumberFormatException e) { ... }

    }
    while(true); // Display the menu until the user closes the program

You can use switch to process the input, and depending on input do the respective action.
