displaying empty boolean method

[kay jayz]

hello everybody,
hmmm and the question is... (scary drums or the jaws theme music)
a JNI class defines a method from a dll (JNI part is from an experienced coder) that brings boolean state. it's called e.g. sth()
how can i display the boolean state to the console or just figure it out if it's true or false. the method has no parameters.
i have tried to make an object in my class e.g. pp.sth() but then system.out.println(...) well what now?


thank you in advance
kay

ps. i learn java but i guess i'm just not that far

Welcome to the Ranch!

Have you tried the simple

System.out.println(pp.sth());

? The body doesn't matter at all in this case, only the return value. That's going to be true or false, and that's what you're going to print out.

yes i did but eclipse wants to change the pp.sth() object in main to static
