           }

   }
}

here is my error message. BookStoreGUI.java:210: error: cannot find symbol Catalog = Catalog.add(media); ^ symbol: method add(BookStoreItem) location: variable Catalog of type BookStoreItem 1 error

and her is the catalog class from wich the add method comes from.

  public class Catalog {

    private BookStoreItem[] inventory;
    private final int CAPACITY = 100;
    private int count;

    public Catalog() {
        inventory = new BookStoreItem[CAPACITY];
        count = 0;
    }

    public void add(BookStoreItem newItem) {
        inventory[count] = newItem;
        count++;
    }

     public boolean isAvailable(String title) {

        boolean found = false;

         for (int i = 0;i < count && !found;i++) {
             if (title.equals(inventory[i].getTitle())) {
                found = true;
            }
        }

        return found;
    }

    public BookStoreItem getItem(String title) {

        BookStoreItem desiredItem = null;

        boolean found = false;

         for (int i = 0;i < count && !found;i++) {
            if (title.equals(inventory[i].getTitle())) {
                desiredItem = inventory[i];
                found = true;
            }
        }

         return desiredItem;

    }

    public BookStoreItem[] getList() {
         return inventory;
    }

}

Answer 1

Firstly, you would have fewer problems if you followed Java naming conventions - currently Catalog is both an array variable name and a type name.

Secondly, there is no add method in arrays. You may want a List , eg ArrayList . Alternatively, you may well just need an instance of Catalog , eg

// This replaces your private static BookStoreItem[] Catalog; declaration
Catalog catalog = new Catalog();

Then you can use this in your handle method:

catalog.add(media);

Note that I've made it an instance variable rather than a static variable - I doubt that you want any static variables, to be honest.
