Non functional radio buttons and messed up array

[flameofSuzaku]

Hi. I've been working on a homework problem and ran into a bunch of little things that went wrong. The assignment is to make a magic 8Ball and for extra point to add radio buttons to toggle btwn the 8Ball and a Fortune teller.

We're supposed to randomly display the responses which are stored as an array. I can only get it to select one random number. Even if i click the button alot, its the same response. The radio buttons are visible but the event I put for them don't work.

Can someone take a look and tell me what i did wrong? I tried rearranging things to get the radio buttons to work that that didn't help.

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

import java.util.Random;

public class EightBallWindow extends JFrame {
	
	private JPanel panel1;
	private JPanel panel2;
	private JPanel panel3;
	private JPanel panel4;
	private JRadioButton eightBallradio;
	private JRadioButton fortuneradio;
	private JLabel question;
	private JTextArea textArea;
	private JButton predictButton;
	private JButton fortuneButton;
	private JButton clearButton;
	int rows = 20;
	int cols = 30;
	
	//Constructs the eightball window
	public EightBallWindow()

	private class ClearButtonListener implements ActionListener
	{
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent clear)
		{
			textArea.setText("");
		}
	}
}

here is the main ags

public class EightBall {
	
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
		new EightBallWindow();
	}	
}

Hi,
My requirements are to pay the lowest taxes possible, will need bank account with internet banking plus a merchant card account to simply accept credit card payments for my Running shoes store.

With thanks in advance.

This is not a "Tax Consultants Forum" dude. You are in the wrong place.
