I'm not sure how dumb I am or if I am missing something quite simple; anyhow, I am trying to get a basic username and password input from the user using the scanner utility.
I have made sure scanner was initialised correctly (Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in)
System.out.print("Username or Email: ");
String username = sc.nextLine();
System.out.print("\nPassword: ");
String password = sc.nextLine();
The issue I am having is when I run this part of the code (above), the output I get looks like this (below) where I start inputting into the password section. Its as though it is just skipping over the first call to the scanner.
Username or Email:
Password: (this is where my input goes)
My only guess is that the scanner is taking the second printing as its input but I am not sure so any help is greatly appreciated.
p.s I will leave the entire method at the bottom incase it helps.
Thanks.
public static void loginPage() throws SQLException{
int requestCounter = 0;
do {
System.out.print("Username or Email: ");
String username = sc.nextLine();
System.out.print("\nPassword: ");
String password = sc.nextLine();
boolean validLoginRequest = accountLoginCheck(username, password);
if (validLoginRequest) {
break;
} else {
requestCounter++;
}
} while (requestCounter < 3);
if (requestCounter == 3) {
System.out.println("Too many attempts");
return;
}
System.out.print("TO MAIN MENU");
