}

Every time I try and run my program I get the following error message. I don't know if its that i have a null pointer messing with my button or the information inside of my button. I also have no idea how i would fix it in either case. Please Help!!

can u properly indent your code.Its quite confusing.

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at TheatreRevenue$CalcButtonListener.actionPerformed(TheatreRevenue.java:99)

At that line and file: TheatreRevenue.java:99 you are using something which is null. Go to tha line and see what is null and make sure it is initialized.

Also the code tags you are using should end with

In constructor you redefine the label2,label4,label6, and label8 as local variable of the type JTextField, which is wrong. You have already declared them as attributes.

You should thus replace the 8 lines of code in the constructor by the following code:

JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Enter the price of one adult ticket : ");
label2 = new JTextField(10);
JLabel  label3 = new JLabel("Enter the number of adult tickets sold : ");
label4 = new JTextField(10);
JLabel label5 = new JLabel("Enter the price of one child ticket : ");
label6 = new JTextField(10);
JLabel label7 = new JLabel("Enter the number of child tickets sold : ");
label8 = new JTextField(10);

toferdagofer, As I said before, within constructor you re-define/re-declare the label2,label4,label6, and label8 as local variable of the type JTextField, which is wrong. Why? While you re-declare and initiate them as local variables, the attributes of the same names, as you declared for the class, are in fact not initiated. Therefore, the run time error message : “java.lang.NullPointerException” is thrown when executing the line of code:

adultPrice = label2.getText() ; //(line 99)

because the attribute label2 is null.
I also have a comment on the naming of variables: label2,…label8, which are in fact TextField’s instances. I would name them as textfield1,... textfield4 so that their names are meaningful.

thank you this was all incredibly helpful and i have definatly found a place that i want to go if i have questions. Being that this is my first java class i have taken this will be very helpful in the future

Hi,

I am currently about to start a project in designing a JAVA GUI; Cinema booking system.

Please does anyone have an example code I can have a look at in order to see what structures to cover and how to build my own code?

Please do not revive old/solved threads. rather go and start a new thread for your question, you will also get a lot more help.
