count button clicks

Question

I want to count the number of times the button is clicked using GUI.

I did this code:

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent         


        

Answer 1

You've declared clicked as a local variable, initialised to 0, it can never be anything else but 1

Make clicked a class level variable instead...

private int clicked = 0;

//...

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
{                                         
    clicked++;
    System.out.println(clicked);
} 

Answer 2

You are resetting the counter every time you click, because you have defined the variable inside the action method. Try not doing that.

int clicked = 0; // move this outside
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
{                                         
    // int clicked = 0; -- this resets it to 0 each time
    clicked++;
    System.out.println(clicked);
}

Answer 3

You have declared count variable inside the ActionListener. Declare it outside the block.

int clicked = 0;  //make it as your class member.
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
{                                         

  clicked++;
  System.out.println(clicked);
}    

Answer 4

every time jButton1ActionPerformed fires, the clicked variables gets instantiated back to 0 that's why it is always giving you a value of 1. You should move the clicked variable outside of that method

//Somewhere in your class
private intClicked = 0;
//More methods here.

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
 {                                         
  clicked++;
  System.out.println(clicked);
 }

Answer 5

Try below code

int clicked = 0;
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
 {                                         

  clicked++;
  System.out.println(clicked);
 } 

Answer 6

Change

int clicked = 0;

to be a member of your class. This way it wont be set to zero every time you press the button.
