                            System.out.println(inputLine);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println(e.toString());
        }
    }

}
}

i want get the result from function "public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent oEvent)" at the bottom of source code, when i try to call it into another from it doesn't show up.

what mistake i make? can someone help me?

Answer 1

The method public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent oEvent) is executed when something is received from serial port (it is not intended to be called by yourself), so inside it you need to process what is received, to picture it (based on your example, pay attention to the comments inside, there you should do something with the received data):

public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent oEvent) {
    if (oEvent.getEventType() == SerialPortEvent.DATA_AVAILABLE) {
        try {
            String inputLine=null;
            if (input.ready()) {
                inputLine = input.readLine();
                            System.out.println(inputLine);
                            // DO SOMETHING WITH THE inputLine RECEIVED HERE 
                            // EG. PASS IT TO SOME OTHER SERVICE METHOD

            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println(e.toString());
        }
    }

}
