Nonstatic variable xx cannot be accessed in a static context ---Help Needed Urgently

[uhdam]

Hi

I am unable to access a non static variable in a static context

The variable is an arrayList and in a separate file

I cannot change the corresponding non-static class into static class

Please help me to resolve this problem

I have also tried using getter method

@uhdam
Take it easy; non-static variables belong to an object, an instantiation, of the class. If you don't have an object, you don't have it's non-static variable; e.g. a Person instance has an age; if you don't have a Person object you don't have an age.

kind regards,

Thankyou sir,

But when i created an instance for that nonstatic class and accessed through that instance i am getting the ArrayList size as zero.

@uhdam
Top level classes (not nested) can't be non-static or static; they just exist. I don't undrerstand your question. And where does that ArrayList come in?

kind regards,

Jos

ps. no need to try to rush us.
