Adding array of JRadioButtons with variable length to a JWindow

Question

Hello everyone I was trying to add an array of variable length to a JWindow but I am getting a run time error. Want help from here ..

Here is my code :

    package components;

import java.util.Calendar;

public class FullDay extends javax.swing.JWindow {

    public FullDay() {
        initComponents();
    }                         
    private void initComponents() {

        int i;
//to get the no of days of the current month.

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        int maxdays = cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.FlowLayout());

//Creating an array of radiobuttons having size equal to the no of days of the current //month

        for(i=0; i<maxdays; i++) {
            jRadioButton[maxdays] = new javax.swing.JRadioButton();
            getContentPane().add(jRadioButton[i]);
        }        

        pack();

    }
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new FullDay().setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
    private javax.swing.JRadioButton jRadioButton[];
}

But the error I am getting is :

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Answer 1

You may want to initialize the i-th field of the array, instead of always initializing the last one:

 jRadioButton[i] = new javax.swing.JRadioButton();

instead of:

 jRadioButton[maxdays] = new javax.swing.JRadioButton();

Also, as the previous answers stated, create the array itself outside of the loop.
