EDIT: While this issue has been marked as a duplicate, the other issue is different to my situation; it seems as though the program is ignoring this line:
decision = scan.nextInt();
I'm having some trouble with my scanner. I have a program that runs off a simple menu system. The program works, but whenever it goes back to repeating the program again (I made the program have the ability to repeat by putting it in a while loop) it throws this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:919)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1542)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2172)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2131)
at GuardSearch.Menu(GuardSearch.java:29)
at GuardSearch.main(GuardSearch.java:8)
The program all works on the first run through the menu and its actions, but then when the call of the if statement is completed and the program returns to the while loop, it throws this exception. What am I missing?
I can post all the classes of the program if needed, however I believe my problem is within the following class:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.*;
public class GuardSearch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Menu();
}
public static void Menu(){
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean leave = false;
while(leave!=true){
final String ANSI_CLS = "\u001b[2J";
final String ANSI_HOME = "\u001b[H";
System.out.print(ANSI_CLS + ANSI_HOME);
System.out.flush();
int decision = 0;
System.out.println("Welcome to GuardSearch, our little slice of Google.\n");
while ((decision != 1) || (decision != 2)){
System.out.println("Please enter the number of what you would like to do from the following list:");
System.out.println("1. Submit knowledge.");
System.out.println("2. Search.");
System.out.println("3. Quit.");
decision = scan.nextInt();
if (decision == 1) {
Submit submit = new Submit();
submit.takeinfo();
break;
}
else if (decision == 2){
Search search = new Search();
search.takekeywords();
break;
}
else if (decision == 3){
leave = true;
break;
}
}
}
scan.close();
}
}
Thanks in advance. I have researched this issue and found no occurrences relevant to my exact issue.
EDIT: Here is my Submit and Search class as requested:
import java.io.*;

public static void takeinfo() {

System.out.flush();
System.out.println("Submit your knowledge to the system.\n");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int decision = 0;
while ((decision != 1) || (decision != 2)){
System.out.println("1. Change an existing article.");
System.out.println("2. Create a new article.");
System.out.println("3. Delete an article.");
System.out.println("4. Back.");
decision = sc.nextInt();
if (decision == 1) {
ChangeArticle chngArt = new ChangeArticle();
chngArt.takeinfo();
break;
}
else if (decision == 2){
CreateArticle createArt = new CreateArticle();
createArt.title();
break;
}
else if (decision == 3){
DeleteArticle deleteArt = new DeleteArticle();
deleteArt.takeinfo();
break;
}
else if (decision == 4){
