Need help building a simple calculator

[zigma]

I am trying to get the number keys right now to post there number in the tf text field.
Right now I am getting a few errors and noting happens when you click one the buttons.

here my code

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
 
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JRadioButton;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
 
 
 
 
public class BasicGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
 
	private JButton b0, b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8, b9, plus, equal;
	private JTextField tf;
	private JPanel display, keypad;
	private GridLayout bGrid;
 
	private class MyListener implements ActionListener {
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
			JButton b = (JButton)e.getSource();
 
			String output = "";
 
			if (b == b0){
				output += "0";
			} else if (b == b1){
				output += "1";
			} else if (b == b2){
				output += "2";
			} else if (b == b3){
				output += "3";
			} else if (b == b4){
				output += "4";
			}else if (b == b5){
				output += "5";
			}else if (b == b6){
				output += "6";
			}else if (b == b7){
				output += "7";
			}else if (b == b8){
				output += "8";
			}else if (b == b9){
				output += "9";
			}
 
			//tarea.setText(out);
			tf.setText(output);
 
 
		}
	}
 
 
	public BasicGUI() {
 
		super("My First GUI Application");
 
		this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 
 
		bGrid = new GridLayout(4, 3, 2, 2);
 
		keypad = new JPanel(bGrid);
		display = new JPanel();
 
		b0 = new JButton("0");
		b1 = new JButton("1");
		b2 = new JButton("2");
		b3 = new JButton("3");

		display.add(tf);
 
 
 
 
		this.add(display, BorderLayout.NORTH);
		this.add(keypad, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
 
 
		this.pack();
 
 
	}
	/**

	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		new BasicGUI().setVisible(true);
 
	}
	@Override
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {

	}
 
}

Thank you for any help you can give.

What are your errors? Are the compiler errors or runtime errors? Post them here.

[zigma]

errors are fixed, but I am having problems register my buttons to post to the tf text field when you click on them.

lol, ok I see what i was doing wrong. sometimes a good night rest and a new look can solve many problems.

here is my new working code,
feel free to try it and use it
