Is there a way to clear a java text field in a GUI?
Let's say the user types something into the JTextField.
I want to retrieve it.
I make an action listener, etc, so the user types something in, clicks "submit", and I take in what they wrote from the JTextField.
Now, after they submit, I kind of want all the text fields to become empty again.
How do I do that? I looked at the JTextField API but there didn't seem to be any methods that erase a text field. What should I do?

A significant part of programming is imagination to imagine the possible. There may not be a method to empty a JTextField, but there's certainly a method to set it to a String, and you've certainly heard of or come across the concept of an empty string, ' "" ', so put the two together, and what do you have?
