    Default add JTextField with a click of button

    public class HandlerClass1 implements ActionListener
    		{
    		 	public JTextField tf1;
     
    			public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
    			{				
     
    				tf1 = new JTextField("");
    				tf1.setBounds(100, 80,50, 20);
    				add(tf1);
                            }
                      }

    What I want the program to do is if a user click the button it will add a new JTextField. My codes return no error or anything. My Program started with no textfield.

    I just added a space between the quotation marks and it works

    You can't just add components to an already visible GUI. You have to revalidate the container in question- check out the API for useful functions.
