    <p>I get the error message <code>cannot find symbol, symbol: method books(int[], int)</code> when I try to compile the following code.</p> <p>For further explanation about what I want the code to do, see below the code.</p> <pre><code>public class books { public void main(String[] args) { int searchValue = 0, index; int refNum[] = new int[4]; // the array refNum[0] = 4; //numbers to refer to (aka to find) refNum[1] = 6; refNum[2] = 10; refNum[3] = 12; refNum[4] = 14; int input = Integer.parseInt(enterValue.getText()); //takes user's input for (int x = 0; x &lt; refNum.length; x++) { refNum[x] = input; //Tells refNum value to be } searchValue = input; index = books(refNum, searchValue); //"books" is underlined if (index != -1) { binarySearchField.setText("We found: " + index); } else { binarySearchField.setText("Sorry! Not Found!"); } public static Boolean binarySearch(String [] refNum, int left, int right, String search){ //Boolean code for later } </code></pre> <p>This program uses binary search to find values stored in array after user inputs number, if they match then the item is successfully found. User inputs desired number in 'enterNumber' which is a TextField. Now in my code )which I'm 78% sure will work if it wasn't for this one little thing) there is an all important that is underlined which shouldn't be, (I've commented beside the line to show)</p> <p>Now I had thought I was suppose to put the class name there, but apparently since it is underlined that is not the case. Any ideas on what I should be putting there in it's place? </p> <p>And I apologize for the question may be a bit misleading on what I'm really asking, I just wasn't sure how to word the question.</p>

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.
