Why have I this error?

Question

I am using last.fm API from here http://code.google.com/p/lastfm-java/

I downloaded it to my workspace, checked it as library, and imported it to my project... The problem comes when I try to use one method of the API

Artist[] artist = LastFmServer.searchForArtist("hatebreed");

I dont know why, it says

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method searchForArtist(String) from the type LastFmServer

But I have another error trying to solve it. It causes this line

String artist = Artist.getName();

Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getName() from the type Artist

its my first time using APIs, and i started getting tired of these errors, please help

Answer 1

Like other said you need to Instantiate LastFmServer like

LastFmServer mLastFmServer= new LastFmServer();

and then called you method like

Artist[] artist = mLastFmServer.searchForArtist("hatebreed");

Answer 2

您必须使用new （或适当的工厂方法）实例化LastFmServer和Artist 。

Answer 3

您需要使用new 实例化 LastFmServer和Artist的相应对象。

LastFmServer lastFmServerObj = new LastFmServer();

Answer 4

You have to call the methods through a object and not make a static reference.

I'm guessing you'd create an LastFmServer like so (depending on the constructor).

LastFmServer object = new LastFmServer();

I hope this helps.
