Hello, I'm having an issue with set and get method. When i clicked on a button, i set index as 1 however when i use the get method to get the index, the index is returned as 0. I want to call a method if the index is 1. here is my code:

//class1
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
/**

public class Buildings {
    private Image img;
    private String s;
    private int b_index;
    private BufferedImage image;

    private String s_shopping="Shopping Mall";




    public Buildings(){

        try{

            img= ImageIO.read(new File("C:/Users/User/Desktop/R0303/src/Designer/simulation.jpg"));

        }
        catch(IOException e){
        System.out.println("Image not found");
    }



    }

    public void PaintBuilding(Graphics2D g2d){

        g2d.drawImage(img, 175,200,null);
        g2d.drawString(s_shopping, 175+6, 200+6);
    }


    public String getString(){
        return s;
    }

    public void setString(String s){
        this.s=s;
    }

    public void setBIndex(int index){
        this.b_index=index;
    }

    public int getBIndex(){
        return b_index;
    }


}

not sure about what the exact code is, but it seems to me you are using the indices of seperate classes or instances thereof. also: your code seems way more complex then it should be.

Like C/C++, Java uses 0-based indexes. Not interested in reading through your 200 lines of code. If you set a member to index 1, it is actually the second member of the array, NOT the first.
