JButton into an Array

[Ecksso]

So i'm hoping this isn't to aggravating of a question, i can honestly say i'm not great at Java but i'm trying to learn.

Basically i need to make an Array of objects, and i need to enter objects into this array via a JButton.

I have this as a Class

class Application extends CardDeck {

public Application (String Name, int average, String first, String second, String third){
t1 = Name;
t2 = Average;
dataList.setSelectedIndex(0) = first;
dataList.setSelectedIndex(1) = second;
dataList.setSelectedIndex(2) = third;

Which im not sure is correct and i have

Application Apps[] = new Application[99];
for (int i = 0; i < Apps.length; i++);
if (event.getSource() == b1)
Apps[i] = new Application();
String[] data = {};

to create the objects and put them into the array, im not sure what is missing or if everything is in the right order any help at all would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

Every time i try to compile i get this error

"Error: constructor Application in class Application cannot be applied to given types;
required: java.lang.String,int,java.lang.String,java.lang.St ring,java.lang.String
found: no arguments
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length"

I have tried everything i know and looked through about 6 Java website as well as 2 textbooks and i honestly cant figure out how to do this properly.

I dont know it will help but here is a picture of the Applet

imgur: the simple image sharer

Each object needs to contain name, average and 3 universities that are chosen in the JList.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

 found: no arguments

I should think that's pretty self-explanatory. You're trying to use a constructor "new Application()" but the only constructor in the Application class requires 4 String parameters.

Your error message is telling you what's wrong, and so in the future you'll want to try to understand it as best you can since it is often quite helpful. Your Application constructor is written to accept several parameters and you're trying to call it with none. So you'll need to figure out the best way to fix this.

Edit: Hey Darryl! And goodnight!

Ah, it's time for the day shift on the other side of the globe!

I don't think we can help you with this as it will all depend on what you're class does, what the code is trying to do,... all things that you know but haven't told us.

The class needs to take info from a GUI submit button, then create an object "Application" and store it in an array. Does that help?

So perhaps in the button's action listener, you will want to extract the information from the gui's fields and use them to make the parameters that will be used in your Application's constructor call.

How do i do that?

Again, we cannot help given the limited information that you've posted so far. Please when post your questions, assume that we don't have your requirement instructions nor your current code sitting in front of us, and assume that we don't have crystal balls and can't read minds.
