JButton not performing it's Required Function in java

76 views Asked by At

Here's My Code of Currency Converter Program . Earlier Null Pointer Exception Occurred , but it was Rectified . Now there are No Errors in the Program . Program Runs but Convert Button Does not Perform Any Operation . I believe Problem Lies in the ActionPerformed Function , But I'm not being able to Identify it . 

 import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.io.*;

You're shadowing variable button1. Replace 

JButton button1 = new JButton("CONVERT");

with 

button1 = new JButton("CONVERT");

Problem with your code is, there are lot of local variable whose name is identical with instance variable. Those local variables are making instance variables hidden. In constructor you've write statement like JComboBox cb = new JComboBox(); This cb variable is a local variable. The statement panel1.add(cb); adds a local cb variable to panel1. But in actionPerformed when cb.getSelectedIndex()==0 executed it's using the instance variable which is declared public JComboBox cb,cb1;. As this instance variable is never added to gui. The comboBox user is choosing is local vaiable cb not instance variable cb.
