Thread: Passing arrayList inside class

Hello.

I'm having a problem with a program i'm writing at the moment.
The program should store information about students(name, surname, module, grades etc.)
So i created a class of type Student that will store all this information, and another class SystemM that contains methods for adding students, removing, viewing details and loading and saving to file.

But when i create a new student in my GUI class and send it to the System class i can't access this object.
Let me post my code.

package modulegradebook;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class SystemM {
 
	private PrintStream			outFile;
	private FileReader			inFile;
	private ArrayList<Student>	student = new ArrayList<Student>();
	private ArrayList			grade = new ArrayList();
	//private ArrayList<User>		user;
 
 
	SystemM(){}
//*****************************************************************************

			outFile = new PrintStream(new File("Students.txt"));
			for (int i = 0; i < student.size(); i++) {
//				outFile.write(i); //students id
				outFile.println(student.get(i).getName());
				outFile.println(student.get(i).getSurname());
				outFile.println(student.get(i).getAddres());
				outFile.println(student.get(i).getModuleName());
				outFile.println(student.get(i).getGradesArray());
			}
		} catch (IOException ex) {
			System.err.print("Can't open file");
		}
 
	}//end of saveStudent method

				String addres = inFile.nextLine();
				String module = inFile.nextLine();
				while(inFile.hasNextInt()){
 
					int inGrade = inFile.nextInt();
					grade.add(inGrade);
				}
				Student s = new Student(name, surname, module, addres);
				student.add(s); //add created student to arraylist
				s.setGrades(grade);
				for(int x = 0;x<student.size(); x++){
				System.out.println("load  " + student.get(x).getName()+student.get(x).getSurname()+student.get(x).getGradesString());

			}

		for(int v = 0; v<student.size(); v++){
 
			System.out.println(student.get(v).getName()
					   + "\n" + student.get(v).getSurname()

				   + " " + student.get(i).getSurname()
				   + " " + student.get(i).getModuleName()
				   + "\n");}
	}
}

This is my SystemM class. When i use the setStudent method i see that student was passed into this class but i can't acces it with any other method. And it seems that adding next object of type Student overwrites the existing one. When next i try call method public void viewAllStudentsAndMarks() it does not enter the loop for which suggests that ArrayList does not exist.

I would really appreciate help. I'm quite new to programming so if i'm making some stupid mistake please be gentle

Thanks in advance.
