Thread: Help with Code

Ok so I have to use two buttons, one increment and one decrement. Also I must display a label with a number in it. When one of the buttons are pushed, the number in the label will either decrease or increase. I can't figure out how to change the number in the label once the button is pushed. I can get everything displayed right, but can't get the buttons to work. Here is my code:

HTML Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Number extends JPanel
{
    private JLabel figure;
    private JButton Increment;
    private JButton Decrement;
    private int value;
    
    public Number (){
        
        Increment = new JButton ("Increment");
        Decrement = new JButton ("Decrement");
        
        value = 50;
        figure = new JLabel ("Value of Number: " + value );
        
        Increment.addActionListener (new ButtonListener1());
        //Decrement.addActionListener (new ButtonListener2());
        
        add (Increment);
        add (Decrement);
        add (figure);
        
        setPreferredSize (new Dimension(300, 100));
        setBackground (Color.green);
    }
    
    private class ButtonListener1 implements ActionListener{
        
        public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event){
            
            int incrementNumber;
            
            Random generator = new Random();
            
            incrementNumber = generator.nextInt(40) +10;
            value = value + incrementNumber;
            
            
            
        }
        
    }
}

I know I only have one of the buttonlisteners set-up...just trying to get the 1st working first. Also here is the other class, but probably not needed:

HTML Code:

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class NumberPanel{

    public static void main (String[] args){

        JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Number Program");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    
        frame.getContentPane().add(new Number());
    
        Number panel = new Number();
    
        frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

can't get the buttons to work

What doesn't work? Is the action listener called? Add a print out to show if it is.

BTW Naming conventions for variables states they should begin with lowercase letters. Class names with uppercase.

Ok when I did the print out, pushing the increment button worked, it keep adding on top of the set value of 50. But what I want to do is to have the JLabel figure that is at 50 currently to increase within the JFrame. I can't get the 50 to change value when the increment button is pushed inside the JFrame.

have the JLabel figure that is at 50 currently to increase

Where in your code do you try to change the text that is shown in the JLabel?
You set it to an initial value and never do anything more to change it.
Read the API doc for the JLabel class to see how to change its text.

ok i found out how to do it...thanks
