I have been editing this java file, and now i am left with one last error

Question

So after many days of editing this java program, I'm new to java code, so i would be very greatful if someone could help me out here for the last error in the code. Basically the program spits out words/sentences at the push of buttons. ERROR: "SpamBot.access$008();" ERROR message: The method access$008() is undefined for the type SpamBot

If you need any more information just ask. Thanks in advance for any help

robot.keyPress(18);
      robot.keyPress(9);
      robot.keyRelease(18);
      SpamBot.access$008();
      if (JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(new JFrame(), "You have reviewed " + SpamBot.numreviews + " songs. Would you like to review another song?", "New song", 0) == 0)
      {
        SpamBot bot = new SpamBot(speed);
        dispose();
      }
      else
      {
        System.exit(0);
      }
    }
  }
}

So are you sure that you have static method `access$008()` inside your `SpamBot` class? — Pradeep Simha, Jul 20 '14 at 17:32
Well, `SpamBot` doesn't have a method called `access$008`. Were you expecting it to have one? — user2357112, Jul 20 '14 at 17:32
Did you get the base code you are using by some Java decompiler? — izstas, Jul 20 '14 at 17:33
Obviously the method `access$008()` at line 4 doesn't exist. (Also not sure where you got this code, but methods with dollar signs in them are not such a good idea) — jbx, Jul 20 '14 at 17:33
And once again im very new to this so as simple as possible would be very nice — user3856445, Jul 20 '14 at 17:34

access$008 is a synthetic method generated by the Java compiler in the outer class when a nested class accesses a private method from the outer class (or vice versa). The method itself does not exist in source code form. If you want to make the program run, you will need to call the "real" method that it represents.

Some details here:

I suggest you use a better decompiler that can resolve these synthetic method accesses.

that makes a lot of scense as there were just so many errors in the code – user3856445 Jul 20 '14 at 17:36
which decompiler would you recommend i use jd-gui – user3856445 Jul 20 '14 at 17:39
