The very common beginner mistake is when you try to use a class property "statically" without making an instance of that class. It leaves you with the mentioned error message:
You can either make the non-static method static or make an instance of that class to use its properties.
Why? I am not asking for solutions. I would be grateful to know what is the reason behind it. The very core reason!
private java.util.List<String> someMethod(){ /* Some Code */ return someList; }public static void main(String[] strArgs){ // The following statement causes the error. You know why.. java.util.List<String> someList = someMethod(); }
private java.util.List<String> someMethod(){
/* Some Code */
return someList;
}
public static void main(String[] strArgs){
// The following statement causes the error. You know why..
java.util.List<String> someList = someMethod();
