Question

I’m trying to make a new “Time” class,

time.java

public class Time{ 
    public int hour,minute;
    public double second;

    public Time(){
        super();
    }
}

main_activity.java

Time newT = new Time();
newT.hour = 3;

but i get an error here: newT.hour

error (in eclipse) “Syntax Error on token “hour”, Variabledeclaratorid Expected after this token”

Answer 1

The accessibiliy of hour is private, so you cannot access it from another class. Create setters and getters:

public class Time{ 
    private int hour,minute;
    private double second; 

    public Time(){
        super();
    }

    public void setHour(int hour) { 
        this.hour = hour;
    }

    public int getHour() { 
        return hour;
    }
}

Now set it via newT.setHour(3);

Edit: I see you reworked the errors. The actual error is because you have put these lines

Time newT = new Time();
newT.hour = 3;

in the class body, I assume you have something like this:

public class Main {
    Time newT = new Time();
    newT.hour = 3;
}

But you cannot do such a thing, as you may only declare variables/methods/classes in your class body. Try this:

public class Main {
    public void myMethod {
        Time newT = new Time();
        newT.hour = 3;
    }        
}
