java 编译找不到符号,java中编译错误：找不到符号。

I have this code that is taking a text file and turning it into a string and then separating parts of the string into different elements of an arraylist.

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.io.*;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Grocery{

public Grocery(){

File inFile = new File ("lists.txt");

Scanner input = new Scanner (inFile);

String grocery;

{

grocery = input.nextLine();

}

}

public void makeSmallerLists(){

String listLine;

String line;

ArrayList smallList = new ArrayList();

while(input.hasNextLine()){

line = input.nextLine;

if(line.equals("")){

smallList.add(listLine);

} else{

listLine = listLine + "\n" + line;

}

}

}

}

However when I try to compile this it gives me two errors:

javac Message.java Message.java:31: cannot find symbol symbol :

variable input location: class Message while(input.hasNextLine()){

^ Message.java:32: cannot find symbol symbol : variable input location: class Message line = input.nextLine;

^

How do I fix this? I really don't know what's wrong.

I fixed that and now my error says

$ javac Message.java

Message.java:34: cannot find symbol

symbol : variable nextLine

location: class java.util.Scanner

line = input.nextLine;

^

^

Now what is wrong?

解决方案

Scanner input = new Scanner (inFile);

input is local to the constructor, you cannot access outside of it, and you are trying to access in makeSmallerLists() method. Make it as a instance member, So that it available through out the class other than static context.

public class Grocery{

Scanner input;

and in constructor

public Grocery(){

File inFile = new File ("lists.txt");

input = new Scanner (inFile);
