    my problem is it still needs an "add book function"
    Can you describe what the add book method should do? What data will it take as its arguments and what will it do with that data?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    the "add book function" can be displayed and can be borrowed and returned, it will take a String title,author,publisher and an int book id. but i still don't have any idea on starting this part of my code.

    the "add book function" can be displayed and can be borrowed and returned,
    Your description of what the add() method should do does not make sense,
    A method can not be displayed. It can display data that is in the program.
    That description sounds more like what a Book is, not what the add() method will do. A book can be displayed, borrowed and returned.
    What class will the add() method be in? You have posted several classes.

    it will take a String title,author,publisher and an int book id
    Are those the arguments that would be passed to the add() method.
    What would the add() method do with those pieces of data?

    sorry bout that. add() method will we in a separate class, and it will accept data from the user such as the string name,author,publisher and int ID. and the add() method would store these data's in an array.

    There are a lot of things to think about before trying to write the method:
    What class will the add() method be in?
    Where will the array be that it stores the data in?
    Will all the data be put into a class object before putting it in the array?
    How will the add() method get the data from the user?
    Will there also be a method that will get that data for usage somewhere else in the program?

    i want my addBook() method in a separate class like my other methods in my program,
    the array should be on the Library class of my code,
    yes data must be put in a class before the addBook() method stores it to the array,
    the addBook() method will accept data by using dialog boxes only,
    yes, the data's added will also be used in my searchBook(), rentBook(), and returnBook() methods,

    and also can i make a constructor for an array? if so how?

    It the array to be update is in the Library class, should the addBook() method be in the Library class?

    arrays do not have constructors. Use the new statement to define an array. See:
    Arrays (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

    yes the addBook() method will be in my Library class,

    ah i see but can i turn this piece of code to an array?

    Book book1 = new Book("Hunger Games");
        Book book2 = new Book("Catching	Fire");
        Book book3 = new Book("Mocking Jay");
        Book book4 = new Book("The Da Vinci	Code");
        Book book5 = new Book("Harry Potter	and	The	Sorcerer's Stone");
        Book book6 = new Book("Harry Potter	and	The	Chamber	of Secrets");
        Book book7 = new Book("Harry Potter	and	The	Prisoner of	Azkaban");
        Book book8 = new Book("Harry Potter	and	The	Goblet of Fire");
        Book book9 = new Book("Harry Potter	and	The	Order of The Phoenix");
        Book book10	= new Book("Harry Potter and The Half-blood	Prince");
        Book book11	= new Book("Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows");

    Sure you can, is an array right for you? Does an array provide the kind of storage and access you need? I would vote for some type of grouping vs a bunch of same-name-numbered variables, it is up to you to decide what suits your needs.

    Well that sounds like another option.
    Why don't you try them and see?
    There are plenty of Array and ArrayList usage examples on the web.

    What data do you want to compare?
    The Book class could have a method that returns a String
    or it could have a method that tested its data against a given argument.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    i want to compare it to string
    What is the purpose of comparing it to a String? What data does the String contain?

    Do you know how to define an array? Here's a sample:
    TheType[] varName = new TheType[<nbr of elements>];
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    so that the user could input a book and the searchBook() method would find matches in the array,

    yes i know how to define an array, so it would be like this?
    Book[] bookName = new Book[10];

    so the type would be "Book" so it's not comparable to String?

    "Book" so it's not comparable to String?
    That is correct.
    Can you explain the purpose of the comparison you want to make?
    What does the String contain?

    There are several ways You can use a String to find or select a Book.

    the purpose of the comparison is to find matches in the array,
    and the String contains the user's input

    The Book class could have a method that would do the comparing needed to find matches with the String the user input. The method could return true if there was a match and false otherwise.

    You have not said what that String will contain. Will it be the name of the user's friend or the type of car he likes or the name of his favorite movie?

    Where is the Book class?

    The action listener classes have the wrong names. The names look like the names for a button, not a listener.
