    <p>I have a return, however you can see the line <code>"this will not print"</code> which shouldn't be reached after the <code>return</code> happens gets called. </p> <p>What's going on?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ef8KB.png" alt="Code"></p> <p>Here's the entire procedure, it's a rough copy at the moment...:</p> <pre><code>private void greedySearch (String lookForNode) { // Note: Available vars // reqStartNode // reqEndNode // Search through entire tree looking for... System.out.println("Searching through entire tree looking for "+lookForNode); for (int i = 0; i &lt; treeList.size(); i++) { Data currentNode = treeList.get(i); // ... reqStartNode if (currentNode.getNodeName().equals(lookForNode)) { System.out.println("Found matching node. currentNode.getNodeName=" + currentNode.getNodeName()+" lookForNode="+lookForNode); // Check to see if there's any children? if (currentNode.childrenList.size() &gt; 0) { // Find smallest child by node double smallestHeuristic = currentNode.childrenList.get(0).getHeuristic(); String smallestNode = currentNode.childrenList.get(0).getNodeName(); for (int ii = 1; ii &lt; currentNode.childrenList.size(); ii++) { if (currentNode.childrenList.get(ii).getHeuristic() &lt; smallestHeuristic) { smallestHeuristic = currentNode.childrenList.get(ii).getHeuristic(); smallestNode = currentNode.childrenList.get(ii).getNodeName(); } } // Check to see if smallest child by node is reqEndNode if (smallestNode == reqEndNode) { System.out.println("FOUND GOAL "+smallestNode); // Quit because we found the answer return; } // Expand that node else { greedySearch (smallestNode); } } // No children, we've reached the end else { System.out.println("We've reached the end at "+currentNode.getNodeName()); // Quit because we've reached no further children to expand return; } System.out.println("This will not print"); } else { System.out.println("Skipped node "+currentNode.getNodeName()); } } System.out.println("FINISHED SEARCH"); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>The correct solution I realised was doing a <code>return</code> after I call the recursive procedure like so:</p> <pre><code>greedySearch (smallestNode); // Quit because we are now going recursive, our job here is done return; </code></pre> <p>My ouput is now:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>Searching through entire tree looking for S Skipped node A Skipped node B Skipped node C Skipped node D Skipped node E Skipped node F Skipped node G Skipped node G Found matching node. currentNode.getNodeName=S lookForNode=S Searching through entire tree looking for A Found matching node. currentNode.getNodeName=A lookForNode=A Searching through entire tree looking for B Skipped node A Found matching node. currentNode.getNodeName=B lookForNode=B Searching through entire tree looking for C Skipped node A Skipped node B Found matching node. currentNode.getNodeName=C lookForNode=C We've reached the end at C </code></pre> </blockquote>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
