If one JTextField is clicked clear another?

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the Forum/Java.

I'm taking an online course and plan to take the Java Associate Developer Exam in the next couple of months.

There's a small project I'm working on and could use some help. I am making a Mile to Nautical Mile conversion calculator. I have got it working in the console and assumed it would be just as easy to do it in a JFrame, but that obviously wasn't the case!

I have got it working near perfectly, just adding a few final touches.

I have my JFrame with two JTextFields and a button. One JTextField is labelled Miles, the other Nautical. You simply enter the amount you want converted into one and press the button and the result will come up in the other.
To do this, i add the following:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		String StrMile = entmiles.getText();
		String StrNaut = entnaut.getText();
	try{	
		if(StrNaut.length() > 0){
			nautcon = Double.parseDouble(StrNaut);
			entmiles.setText(nautcon*1.15078 + "");
		}else if(StrMile.length() > 0){
			milecon = Double.parseDouble(StrMile);
			entnaut.setText(milecon*0.868976 + "");
		}
	}catch(Exception e1){
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(window, "Please Enter a valid number");	
	}
	
		
	}

Now, my Problem.
As you can see, it knows what to calculate based on if there is something in the JTextField. This is causing problems if i want to run more than one calculation as once i run one calculation both textfields will contain values.

I don't want the user to have to use a reset button everytime they want to do a calculation, so is there a way that when i say click into the "entmiles" JTextField, the entnaut TextField will clear and vice versa?

I appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks for the help, i realised i'm better just clearing both fields when i click into one to start a new calculation.

Thanks for the push in the right direction!
