JAVA JButton in a different class refuses to activate when pressed

Question

I'm failing to understand why my yankee and whiskey JButtons aren't working. Right now I only want them to close the program when romeo is greater than 1 and sierra is greater than 1.

Answer 1

So, you have two JTextArea (JTextField would probably be better) and a button. you want some buttons to execute exit when the text of both textareas is an integer greater than 1.

seems that your buttonSetup() function isn't called anywhere.

Anyway, I'd create an ActionListener that reads the texts, converts to integer, tests your condition and executes exit(). This ActionListener should be added to all the buttons you want to perform the action

final ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        try {
            final int intRomeo = Integer.parseInt(romeo.getText());
            final int intSierra = Integer.parseInt(sierra .getText());

            if (intRomeo > 1 && intSierra > 1) {
                // whatever you want to do
                System.exit(0); 
            }
        } catch (/*NumberFormat*/ Exception e) {
            // ...not integers
        }
    };
}
whiskey.addActionListener(al);
yankee.addActionListener(al);

I have to add: the variable names you are using are really bad. Consider choosing something more significative.
