getX() has private access in java.awt.Rectangle?

Question

Why following code generate error message : getX() has private access in java.awt.Rectangle (int)dest.getX(), (int)dest.getY(), (int)dest.getWidth(), (int)dest.getHeight()

According to the doc , Rectangle do have a public method getX().

   public boolean setSize(java.awt.Rectangle source, java.awt.Rectangle dest)
{

    setVideoSize((int)source.getX() ,(int)source.getY(), (int)source.getWidth(), (int)source.getHeight(),
              (int)dest.getX(), (int)dest.getY(), (int)dest.getWidth(), (int)dest.getHeight()
     );


     return true;

}

Answer 1

I just tried the following and it compiles fine.

public boolean setSize(java.awt.Rectangle source, java.awt.Rectangle dest) {

        setVideoSize((int) source.getX(), (int) source.getY(),
                (int) source.getWidth(), (int) source.getHeight(),
                (int) dest.getX(), (int) dest.getY(), (int) dest.getWidth(),
                (int) dest.getHeight());

        return true;

    }

    private void setVideoSize(int x, int y, int width, int height, int x2,
            int y2, int width2, int height2) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
