Hi

i am utilising the timer event to get the value from a text box and storing it into a variable after saving the previous value onto another variable


Timer timer = new Timer();
TimerTask updateTask;

String prevEntry;
String crntEntry;



updateTask = new TimerTask() {

public void run() {


prevEntry = crntEntry;

crntEntry = field1.gettext();

}

}

where field1 is declared as BasicEditField

But I am getting errors like

local variable crntEntry is accessed from within inner class; needs to be declared final
prevEntry = crntEntry;
^
