Question

I need to change Java code set up I want to add a method. What is the best way of adding the method?

Existing code

private void LogsubmitActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
     
        try {
            String password = jPassword.getText();
            String username = jtxtUsername.getText();
         
            File texting = new File("Log.txt");
            //open file in append mode
            BufferedWriter writer;
            writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(texting,true));
            //date and time
            Date currentTime =Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
            boolean valid = false;
            //used a hard-coded username and password
            if(username.equals("anna")&&(password.equals("password")))
            {
                jtxtUsername.setText(null);
                jPassword.setText(null);
              
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "success");
                writer.write(username + currentTime);
                writer.write("success");
                valid = true;
          
            }
            else if(!valid)
          
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "invalid password");
            writer.write(password + currentTime);
            writer.write("failed");
            writer.close();
          
          
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(LoginApp.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
                                            
    }                                  

I would like to add public boolean testUser(String jtxtUsername, String jPassword) after the private void LogsubmitActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) method. When I add I get an error of illegal start of expression.
       

Explanation / Answer

You can add the method just after the LogsubmitActionPerformed method, please share complete class code I would be happy to help.
