non-static method within static context Question

[mfalomir]

How can I solve this error, Im kinda confused or what is telling me ?

non-static method selectRoute(java.lang.String[]) cannot be referenced from a static context

Thanks in advanced

1) Make the method static.
2) Instantiate an instance of the relevant class and then call the method.

mfalomir, I would point out that sedj's advice points are an either/or choice.

Hi thanks for you help.. As you suggested I just instantiated and instance (sounds redundant ) and it solved the problem

Thanks!

Just an add on here...

When I first started out with Java I got that error too many times to count. I would simply cover it up by either instantiating locally or declaring my calling method static without fully understanding what was going on.

Needless to say that led to unexpected troubles later on. In short, it is definitely worth your time(it won't take that long) to verse yourself in just what static and instance variables and methods are and how they are properly used.

I promise you'll never see that error again in your code after you do!

Cheers!
