case '±':

}}

Well first off, where do you get the error exactly?

Well, for one you have a function:

private TextField setEditable(boolean b) {
    return null;
}

And you use it in your init method as such:

    display = setEditable(false);//
    add(display);

SO this tells me that you set TextField 'display' to NULL, then try to add it to your display TextField. I suspect you want to set your 'display' TextField to editable, so you could do the following:

    display.setEditable(false);

Let me know if this is what you are talking about.
