Buttons for my textfields (calculator)

[NewJohn]

Hey,

First I'd like to start off and say I am quite new to java programming but find it very interesting. Currently I am trying to create a calculator, not any calculator because I plan it to have a few options which normal calculators doesn't have, such as change background color etc, basic stuff probably.

So far I have created two textfields in which I can type two different values and then I got a few buttons which will calculate what these two values equals if I choose +, -, * or /. What I would want it to be like is that above these textfields I have 9 buttons (1-9). When I select a textfield and press for example 1, 2, 3 I want 123 to be the value of that textfield and if I select the other textfield and press 7, 6, 5 I want 765 to be the value of that other textfield.

Any idea how I can make this happen?

Currently my ActionPerformed receives this info when I type something in the different textfields:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		x = Integer.parseInt(tf1.getText());
		y = Integer.parseInt(tf2.getText());


if (e.getSource() == bplus) {
			summa = x + y;
		}
	    if (e.getSource() == bminus) {
	    	summa = x - y;    
	    }
	    if (e.getSource() == bganger) {
	    	summa = x * y;
	    }
	    if (e.getSource() == bdela) {
	    	summa = x / y;
	    }
	    lbl2.setText("Summan är " + summa);

Thankful for your help!

off the top of my head when one of the buttons is pressed (1-9), u need to get the string representation of that (1-9) number and then when pressed again, u need to add to that string. Then when you want to multiple, you would need to change back to int/double etc.

(I"m a newbie, so not sure if that's the best way)

Thanks for your answer.

Actually I'm not quite sure if this is the best way to do it. What I don't understand is how I am supposed to get the buttons value inserted to the textfields. Maybe I shouldn't use these kind of textfields? Maybe it's better to put these values somewhere else?
