Java Troubles

[senntenial]

Now this has just about 0 stuff to do with ponies, but being community where you can post most anything, knowing many of you guys code, and knowing how fast responses are and my desire not to have to sign up for a different forum, here ya go.

It's just a basic code that prompts the user with a question (what is the password).
When the user responds with the correct answer, a dialogue should appear saying so. I have gotten to be able to enter text, but as soon as I press "OK" the application ends. I'm sure this is a noobie issue, but if someone could explain it to me I'd be much obliged.

This method has worked with just basic console, but once I try adding the JOptionPane things stop working.

Code: Select all

import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class TutorialProject {
   
   static Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
   public static void main(String[] args){
      inputTest();
   
   }
   public static void inputTest(){
      JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the password: ");
      String message = input.nextLine();
      
      if (message.equals("password"))
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Good job, that's the password.");
}
}
}
}

The only thing wrong here is that you're using a Scanner to get the input. JOptionPane returns the user's input, so all you have to do is make message equal to what JOptionPane returns

(There are also two too many braces at the end. )

Code: Select all

import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class TutorialProject {
   
   static Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
   public static void main(String[] args){
      inputTest();
   
   }
   public static void inputTest(){
 
      String message = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the password: ");
     
      if (message.equals("password"))
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Good job, that's the password.");
}
}
