    <p>I just watched a youtube tutorial called "many methods and instances". He made a program in which you enter something and it says "your first gf was <em>_</em>". But it was way too overcomplicated. First is the main class:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; public class MethodsInstances2 { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); MethodsInstances object = new MethodsInstances(); System.out.println("Enter name of first gf here: "); String temp = input.nextLine(); object.setName(temp); object.saying(); } } </code></pre> <p>Next is the class it makes an object from:</p> <pre><code>public class MethodsInstances { private String girlName; public void setName (String name){ girlName=name; } public String getName (){ return girlName; } public void saying(){ System.out.printf("Your first gf was %s", getName()); } } </code></pre> <p>It seemed WAY too overcomplicated, and the title is all of the stuff i didn't understand, considering I'm still a newbie at Java. Here's what I typed which took 4 times faster:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; public class programtest { public static void main(String args[]){ Scanner test = new Scanner(System.in); String name; System.out.println("Enter the name of your first girfriend: "); name = test.next(); System.out.println("Your first girlfriend was " + name); } } </code></pre> <p>Can someone tell me the point of doing what the tut said to do, and what the title words mean?</p> <p>Thanks a lot, Dan</p>

    1. COThis tutorial is a good example of a simple concept with a horrible choice of class and object names. I redid the example to make more sense in my answer below. (It's all supposed to work in a single file.)

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.
