Importing packages in Java

Question

How to import a method from a package into another program? I don't know how to import... I write a lil' code:

package Dan;
public class Vik
{
    public void disp()
    {
        System.out.println("Heyya!");
    }
}

and then, saved it in a folder named "Dan" and I compiled it. The .class file is generated. Then, I wrote this code below:

import Dan.Vik.disp;
class Kab
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Vik Sam = new Vik();
        Sam.disp();
    }
}

and I saved it outside the folder "Dan" and it says : "cannot find symbol"

I saved the first code in C:\Dan\Vik.java and the second in C:\Kab.java

No no no no, Daniel that's not the way to do imports in Java.

import Dan.Vik;
class Kab
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
    Vik Sam = new Vik();
    Sam.disp();
}
}

You don't import methods in java. There is an advanced usage of static imports but basically you just import packages and classes. If the function you are importing is a static function you can do a static import, but I don't think you are looking for static imports here.
