Hi,
I am developing an application which needs to dynamically show whether a host is up or down.I have used buttons on which i am pasting the icon indicating up or down.So, when a node is down, I am replacing the icon that indicates up with the icon that indicates down using setIcon() function.But instead of changing the icon a NullPointerException is generated.For example,
private JButton c1;
JButton c1 = new JButton();
Icon bug = new ImageIcon("image/coms1.gif");//this image is for up
Icon bug3= new ImageIcon("image/computer.gif");//for down
c1.setIcon(bug);
if(node is down)
c1.setIcon(bug3);
Thanks for any help.

There is nothing wrong with seIcon. The JButton c1 is the one that is null at the point of setting the icon. You have - private JButton c1;
-
JButton c1 = new JButton();
-
which does not compile like that so I'm assuming you have these at different places in your code. Post the code and let's see what's null.

There you go -
-
private JButton c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,l1,l2,l3,l4,e1,e2,e3,e4;
-
Declares the buttons fine. They are global to the class and this is what you want to do.
Then - JButton c1 = new JButton();
-
JButton c2 = new JButton();
-
JButton c3 = new JButton();
-
JButton c4 = new JButton();
-
JButton c5 = new JButton();
-
is not what you want to do. This hides the previously defined buttons in the class. (eg) When you access c1 from outside the constructor, the global c1 is referenced and this has not yet been initialised because the one declared in the constructor is not visible outside the constructor. You should just do - c1 = new JButton();
-
c2 = new JButton();
-
c3 = new JButton();
-
c4 = new JButton();
-
c5 = new JButton();
-
Inside the constructor.
Thanks sir.You have saved me.

don't you go about calling me "sir", what if I'm younger than you... And "saved" is an overstatement.
Call me anything you want but NOT "sir".
