actionlistener not working

I am getting an error when trying to call the method getuserinput. Here is my bit of the code that is broken.

initialvelocitybutton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        getuserinput(); //I am getting an error saying "The method getuserinput() is undefined for the type new ActionListener(){}"
           }
        });

static void getuserinput(){   //method to get users input
                double initialvelocity = Double.parseDouble(
                           JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter initial velocity")); //gets initial value of intiial velcoity
                double angleoflaunch = Double.parseDouble(
                           JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter angle of launch"));
}

getuserInput() is declared as static. You have to reference it using the class name: NameOfYourClass.getuserInput();
