I have written a Java program which is invoked using system() function, thus it runs on the command window of Matlab. Now I want to know if there's another way to run a Java program other than running it on command window? Can it be run on any user made GUI in Matlab? Another problem is, I want to know if my program has some string value as output, which is generally displayed on command window, how can i store it in variable in Matlab?
Hope to hear from you very soon.
The Hello World solution by The MathWorks provides some insights on how to run a simple 'Hello World' java application inside MATLAB. You may change the Java code a bit, in order to have a method that returns a String.
public class HelloWorld
{
public String hello()
{
String helloWorld = "Hello World!";
return helloWorld;
}
}
Once this simple class is compiled and on the MATLAB JVM classpath create an instance and invoke the method with the following two commands.
o = HelloWorld
output = o.hello;
The String returned by the HelloWorld instance is assigned to the MATLAB variable output.
There is no need for a system command with Java code in MATLAB. You have direct access to the JVM from inside MATLAB. For an application with a complex GUI, break out to Java.
Undocumented Java is a valuable source on MATLAB, Java and GUIs.
Yes the classpath set is correct.
I modified the code, using it without main..
class HelloWorld
{
public String Hello()
{
String helloWorld="Hello World!";
return helloWorld;
}
}
Now, as per guided i try to create instance obj in Matlab, with following command:
o = HelloWorld;
Here I get following err:
??? No constructor 'HelloWorld' with matching signature found.
The next command indicated it this:
output = o.hello;
which wouldnt work unless instance is created.
