password/voting ID

[lopder1]

hello,

i am writing a program where someone enters their "password" into a gui and then can vote for some people. So far the voting part is working but the password is not. For the password, the user enters any number(s) and the program should store it into an array. After that, they can vote. When someone votes again they enter a new password and that password is entered as the second term of the array. If you enter the same password then an error message should show up. Heres my code:

import javax.swing.*; // Required library
import java.awt.*; // Required library
import java.awt.event.*; // Required library
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class HW9_2 extends JFrame {
  private JTextField tField = new JTextField("Enter Password"); // Create a text field
  private JLabel labelWithtField = new JLabel("");
  private JButton my1Button = new JButton("Login"); // Create a new button
  private JLabel label1WithText = new JLabel();
  private JButton my2Button = new JButton("Mickey Mouse"); // Create a new button
  private JLabel label2WithText = new JLabel();
  private JButton my3Button = new JButton("Donald Duck"); // Create a new button
  private JLabel label3WithText = new JLabel();
  private int status = 1;
  private double mm = 0;
  private double dd = 0;
  private int i = 0;
  private int c = 0;

  
  
// Constructor
public HW9_2() {
  setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 2, 0, 0)); // Define layout as a grid
  add(tField);
  add(labelWithtField);
add(my1Button); // Make button appear in window
add(label1WithText);
add(my2Button); // Make button appear in window
add(label2WithText);
add(my3Button); // Make button appear in window
add(label3WithText);


my1Button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
double[] listlogin; // Declare the array
listlogin = new double[100];
//String tField = tField.getText(); // Get the text in the TextField
String str = tField.getText();
double login = Double.parseDouble(str);
if (status == 1) {
  listlogin[c] = login;
  c++;
}
for (int i = 1; i < listlogin.length; i++) { // Process array with loop
  if (listlogin[c] == listlogin[i]) {
  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "ERROR");
}
}

}});

pretty much everything is ok except everything after the action listener

thanks for your help

1.) The array containing the passwords must not be created in the action listener because it handles multiple actions. It must be an instance variable of the class and the actionPerformed can check against it and add to it.
2.) If the array of passwords is not persisted then running the program again will always use a new array of passwords since all the program's data will go away when the application is closed.

U have created within the actionPerformed method.So,everytime the action is perfomed it will be re initialized.Create it globally and try to use.
