Readkey in Java

Question

Hi, I am new to Java ... is there a similar method to the ReadKey() in C# to avoid that a console application closes?

thanks

Answer 1

you can use scanner to take some input from the console as following example:

       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
       String answer;
        ...
       System.out.print("Press Enter to continue...");
       answer = sc.next();

Answer 2

You will need a while loop to control that.

do{
   String str = //String read from keyboard
   //Your database query here

}
while(str != "BYE" );

Answer 3

One way to do it:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
br.readLine();

there are definitely shorter ones, but I think this one's convenient, because it can easily be extended.
