I have already written an autotalker in C#. But a friend asked me to
make one for Mac so I decided to do it in Java. I can't even work out
the error. Can someone please tell me how to fix this.
Here is my code:
When reporting an error, you should copy and paste the error message into your
post. I am guessing that you found that the line
keyInput[n] = myChar.getKeyChar();
didn't compile.
'myChar' is of type 'char', which is a primitive. Therefore you cannot invoke
a method on 'myChar'.
To invoke an instance method like 'getKeyChar()', you must have a variable of
a type that has such a method. I note that the wrapper class 'Character' has
no such method either.
Review

and
<http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/BasicJava1/>
package messengerspam;
// import ...; // imports elided for brevity
public class Main {
public static int keyInput[];
This is fine for an example. For real-life code you should tend toward
private instance variables rather than public static ones.
public static void main(String[] args) throws
AWTException,IOException {
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader( System.in );
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader( isr );
String input = stdin.readLine();
char[] splitin = input.toCharArray();
int n = 0;
for (char myChar : splitin)
{
keyInput[n] = myChar.getKeyChar();
n = n + 1;
}
keyInput[n] = KeyEvent.VK_ENTER;
Robot robot = new Robot();
for (int i = 1; i > 1; i++){
Interesting idiom. This loop will never run.
for (int t = 0; t < keyInput.length; t++){
robot.keyPress(keyInput[t]);
}
robot.delay(500);
}
}
}
