Question

OK so my applet is not compiling and I Googled some answers and none worked. (Such as taking public out of public class)…

Here’s my code: http://www.so.pastebin.com/MBjZGneg

Heere is my error:

C:\Users\Dan\Documents\DanJavaGen\Inventory.java:12: Inventory is not abstract and does not override abstract method keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent) in java.awt.event.KeyListener
public class Inventory extends Applet implements KeyListener {

… help? 🙂 please.

Answer 1

It means what it says. You are not implementing the keyReleased method. You’re also not implementing keyTyped. If you want to keep your current class structure, you can add empty methods:

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){} // ignore
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){} // ignore

If you put the listener in a separate (possibly inner) class, you could extend KeyAdapter, which provides these empty methods for you.
