Whats wrong with my code? I tried several things but it still won't work!

Whats wrong with this code?

I Tried everything but " super.paintComponent(g); " part still gives the same error

" - The method paintComponent(Graphics) is undefinedfor the type KeyAdapter "

Code :

---

import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
 
public class Keying extends JPanel{
 
	public Rectangle character;
 
	public int charW= 24;
	public int charH = 36;
 
	public boolean right = false;
	public boolean left = false;
	public Keying(Display f, Images i){ 
		character = new Rectangle(180, 180, charW, charH);
		f.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
			public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
				if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_D){
					right = true;
					character.x +=1;
			}
			if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_A){
				left = true;
				character.x -= 1;
			}
		}	
		 public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){
			 if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_D);
			     right = false;
		     if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_A){
			     right = false;
		 }
		};
	public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
		 super.paintComponent(g); 
		this.setBackground(Color.DARK_GRAY);
		g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
		g.fillRect(character.x, character.y, character.width, character.height);
 
		if(right){
			character.x +=1;
		}
		if(left){
			character.x -=1;
		}
		repaint();
	}
 
	private void setBackground(Color darkGray) {
 
	}
 
 
	{
}
});
	}}

he method paintComponent(Graphics) is undefinedfor the type KeyAdapter

The compiler is saying that the super class for the KeyAdapter class does not have a paintComponent() method.

Is the paintComponent() method in the code defined in the correct class?

To be sure that the class has a method that can be overridden, add a @Override statement on the line just before the method definition. That asks the compiler to check if the class that the method is in has a method with that name and args.


One big problem with the code is its poor formatting. The { and }s are not properly positioned to show nested code. Fixing that will show you what the problem is.
