    Default JButtons and If statements

    Hi - I'm back. No surprise there. I am trying to write a program that calculates the number of gallons * the selected FuelTypeRadioButton. I have everything in place - but the calculation is not recognizing the "IF SELECTED" statements. I've highlighted where I think I've gone wrong. :confused: RED

    Java Code: 
    import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Date;

public class FuelService extends JApplet implements ActionListener

	Color white = new Color(255, 255, 255);
	Color light_gray = new Color(240, 240, 240);

	DecimalFormat decimalFormat;
 
	//format objects
	DateFormat formatter;

    Well what happens when you add some System.out.println(...) statements to your code?

    Or what happens when you use a debugger to step through the code.

    Does the ActionEvent get executed?

    Also, learn proper Java naming conventions which can be found in any text book or tutorial. Your code is hard to read because you should NOT be capitalizing the first character of your variable names.

    You're getting a NullPointerException which means you're trying to use on object that has not been initialized. Look at the line that is throwing the NPE, and an object on that line (there's only one) is null. Then look at your code and you'll likely be able to figure out why. For instance, check out that object ... is it ever initialized? is it ever displayed? (no and no).

    a few notes:
    i really am NEW at this. really. so please excuse my ignorance when i talk about coding - i'm trying..........
    i use text pad - so my program compiles correctly - i don't work with a debugger...unless you're talking about that lovely black screen that comes up behind my display. i did take a look at the screen and found that the fueltype is where the exception is occurring. i'm working on that now but i think what i'm struggling with has more to do with logic flow. i'll post my updates...and i do really appreciate the pointers. your comments are certainly more helpful than the book i have.

    here are my updates. i can only get the radio button info to print to the black screen and not factor in my amount equation. argh. highlighted in red.
    if i add a
    displayfuelType();
    it goes back to not registering anything in the amount section.

    A NullPointException tells you a variable is null. The error messages tells you the line of code causing the problem. So you need to find the variable and make sure it has been "created", not just "declared".
