Alternative to the Scanner for data entry

According to this answer in the SOen :

Class BufferedReader and InputStreamReader

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String s = br.readLine();
int i = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());

Class DataInputStream

DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(System.in);
int i = dis.readInt();

The readLine no DataInputStream is deprecated, to get the value of String you can use the previous solution with BufferedReader .

Class Console

Console console = System.console();
String s = console.readLine();
int i = Integer.parseInt(console.readLine());

It seems like this method does not work on some IDEs.

I do not know if this would be a viable alternative, but you can use JOptionPane to get input data.

String nome = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Entre com um nome: ");
