i'm sorry but in the Romeo and Juliet example you only use your variable 'act'
in "onEvent" methods : onchapter, onendpage but NOT in your method main
That's only a detail. I think you're the one that doesn't understand.
: this is
the problem. I hava tested and retested and reretested i can't use a variable
like 'act' initilazed in the main methods in other events methods.
You have been walking in circles overlooking the obvious.
This is what i need to do.
Let me show you a sample
There are two ways to solve this.
Class A is your main class, Class B your implementation of the page events.
=== 1st solution ===
Class A has a variable test:
protected String test = "test";
and a corresponding getter and setter.
public void setTest(String test) { this.test = test; }
public String getTest() { return test; }
while you do stuff in class A, you can change the value of test.
Class B has a variable of type A:
protected A myMainClass;
this class is passed with the constructor of class B:
public B(A myMainClass) { this.myMainClass = myMainClass; }
Now you have access to test from your onDocumentOpen():
public void onDocumentOpen(...) {
System.out.println(myMainClass.getTest());
}
=== 2nd solution (the one I prefer) ===
Class B has a variable test:
protected String test = "test";
and a corresponding getter and setter.
public void setTest(String test) { this.test = test; }
Of course you have access to the value of test from your events:
public String getTest() { return test; }public void onDocumentOpen(...) {
System.out.println(getTest());
}
Class A has a variable of type B:
protected B myEvent;
myEvent = new B();
writer.setPageEvents(myEvent);
While you are doing stuff in A, you can change the value of test:
myEvent.setTest("changed");
===
It's as simple as that...
Please note that you have kept me from writing a page of my book 'iText
in Action'.
