Displaying text in a JTextField after pressing a button

[RLRExtra]

Having a problem with getting text to display in a text field after a button is pressed.

I've tried useing the getText and setText but I don't think I've done it properly.

This is what I'm useing:

JTextField showHumanScores = new JTextField(15);

String fieldHumanScores = showHumanScores.getText();

fieldHumanScores.setText((humanHand[0]));

Is this correct and my problem lies somewhere else?

Anything to do with humanHand being an int?

Hi RLRExtra

Try this:

Code:

showHumanScores.setText(humanHand[0]);

I don't think that the String class has a setText() method since fieldHumanScores is an instance of String.

Hope this helped.

Nope, doesn't work!

When I try compile it, I get:

in javax.swing.text.JTextComponent cannot be applied to (int)

Is humanHand an int array?
If so,

try...

showHumanScores.setText(Integer.toString(humanHand[0]));

Nice one! It works now, thank you!
