noSuchElement exception with nextInt() method - eclipse

Question

Hey guys I don't get why I get an exception in this simple code
I'm trying to make a card game, and try to read the users wanted index of the card in his hand (it's in German)
public Karte abschlagen(Karte gegnK) {
System.out
.println("Bitte die Zahl für die jeweilige Karte auswählen: ");
gibHandAus(); // prints the users cards with their indexes
try {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int index = sc.nextInt();
if (index < 0 || index >= getHand().size()) {
System.out
.println("Bitte nur eine der gegebenen Zahlen auswählen!");
sc.close();
return abschlagen(gegnK);
}
Karte k = getHand().get(index);
getHand().remove(index);
sc.close();
So what's the problem here?
Before I can choose a number, it throws the noSuchElement exception.
I read in another question that the close() method can be causing this, but it still did it without it.
The error message is:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)

EDIT: Code of spielerWehrAb():
public static boolean spielerWehrtAb(Karte k) {
.
.
.
try {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int x = sc.nextInt();
sc.close();
if (x == 0) {
... }
else if(x == 1) {
System.out.println("1 ausgewählt");
Karte k2 = spieler.abschlagen(k);
....
}
else return spielerWehrAb(k);

Answer 1

The problem is Scanner.close(); closes the underlying stream. The second time, you're trying to read from a closed stream, so it obviously fails.
Please see the tests I designed to demonstrate this behavior here: java.util.Scanner strange behaviour when used with System.in
The solution would be not to read after closing the Scanner. You could, for example, define the Scanner as a class member and always use that member.
