Toggle Key in Java -

basically i'm trying toggle boolean every time f1 key pressed. in main class i've got update method called 60 times second , coded this:

main.class:

private keyboard key = new keyboard; // keyboard object boolean debug; // boolean control visibility of debug screen private boolean toggle; // used toggle boolean  private void update() { // update called 60/s     if (key.iskeypressed(keyboard.f1) && !toggle) {         debug = !debug;         toggle = true;     } else if (!key.iskeypressed(keyboard.f1)) toggle = false; } 

keyboard.class:

public class keyboard implements keylistener {  private boolean[] keys = new boolean[65536];  public static final int f1 = keyevent.vk_f1; // key code of f1 key  public void keypressed(keyevent e) {     keys[e.getkeycode()] = true; }  public void keyreleased(keyevent e) {     keys[e.getkeycode()] = false; }  public void keytyped(keyevent e) { }  public boolean iskeypressed(int key) {     return keys[key]; } 

and way works perfect, if create similar method in keyboard.class not work:

update method in main class:

private void update() {     key.toggle(keyboard.f1, debug); // toggle boolean debug if f1 key pressed, but.. not working!! whyyy!!? } 

keyboard.class:

private boolean toggle;  public void toggle(int key, boolean b) {     if (iskeypressed(key) && !toggle) {         b = !b;         toggle = true;     } else if (!iskeypressed(key)) toggle = false; } 

and question is: why second way not working , how can fix work? thank you!

thank madprogrammer, you're right! ;d

main.class:

private void update() {     debug = key.toggle(keyboard.f1, debug);  } 

keyboard.class:

private boolean toggle;  public boolean toggle(int key, boolean b) {     if (iskeypressed(key) && !toggle) {         b = !b;         toggle = true;     } else if (!iskeypressed(key) && toggle) {         toggle = false;     }     return b; } 

now returns value wanted, man, forgot that. there better/easier way that?
