    Post Beginner help please.

    Hey, I am a beginner and my teacher assigned us this task :
    Write an application for a construction company to handle a customer's order to build a new home. Use separate ButtonGroups to allow the customer to select one of four models, the number of bedrooms, and a garage type. Assume that the models are the Aspen, $100000; the Brittany, $120000; the Colonial, $180000; or the Dartmoor, $250000. Assume that any model can have two, three, or four bedrooms and that each bedroom adds $10500 to the base price. Assume that garage type can be zero-, one-, two-, or three-car , and that each car adds $7775 to the price.

    I have no idea how to use actionlistener to get the price to add up everytime the user checks a checkbox!!
    can someone please help, it's due tomorrow!!

    how to use actionlistener to get the price
    Where is the price that you want to get? The actionlistener is passed an object that contains a reference to the component that created the event. Call that object's get source method to get a reference to the component that created the event, cast that reference to the type of the component and then you can call its methods to get the user's selections etc

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    well i grouped my jcheckboxes so they can only choose 1 kind of house,beds,and garages.
    so like, the one house they choose, once they click on the jcheckbox of i.e, aspen the price of 100,000 will appear in the jlabel.
    next, i would click the 2 bed button and the price would change to aspen+twobed, i can't even explain.

    This seems like an AP comp sci problem but my teacher gave it to us, beginner comp sci?!

    When the listener method is called, You will get a reference to the check box that was clicked. You can get the price from the text of the check box.
    You don't have to test all of the checkboxes to see which one is currently selected.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    		ClickButtonListener clickListener = new ClickButtonListener();
        	aspen.addActionListener(clickListener);
    brittany.addActionListener(clickListener);
    colonial.addActionListener(clickListener);
    dartmoor.addActionListener(clickListener);
    twobeds.addActionListener(clickListener);

    would i have to do that for every single checkbox?

    Yes, all the checkboxes need listeners.

    }

    ok this is what i have so far.

    i am clueless into how to get the total price of checked items..

    someone told me to use

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEven e) {
     
       Object o = e.getSource();
     
       if(o == aspen) {
     
            if(aspen.isSelected() {
     
                ... increase
     
            }
     
            else {
     
                 ... decrease
     
            }
     
        else if(o == britanny) {
     
            if(brittany.isSelected()) {
     
               ...

    what do the dots/increase/decrease mean?

    how to get the total price of checked item
    Cast o to JCheckBox and you will have a reference to the object that was selected.
    Then you can call that object's methods to get the text shown: "....-$<the amount>"
    Add a call to the println method to show what you have gotten so far.
    Then you can get <the amount> using the String class's sub string method and convert it to a number by using the Integer class's parse method.
    Read the API doc for those classes to see how to use their methods.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.

    I don't think you need all the if/else if statements in the listener method. The ActionEvent method has a reference to the checkbox that was selected. I described above(post#8) how to get the amount from the text on the checkbox.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Can you describe in a list of steps what the code in the action listener should do?
    I don't understand the logic that is used there.

    To see what values are set by the java program, add some println statements to the action listener method that print out the value of the variable: o

    I think you can get the amount from the checkbox object and not need all the if/else if statements in the listener method. The technique depends on if the data is in the text of the checkboxes.
    If it is, then you can get it there and not use all the if/else if statements.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Look at the GridLayout layout manager. Put each row of components into a container and add that container to the layout.

    I'm using a flow layout for now.
    The question I'm having soo much trouble on is how do i get the final price to show up?
    Like in the first, it has brittany , 2 bedrooms and no garage selected, and its total price shown.
    While the second has dartmoor 4 bedrooms and 3 cars selects and its a different price..

    Never knew a program would be so depressing.

    Have a separate variable for the currently selected price for each category.
    When a checkbox is selected update the price for its category, sum the prices for each category and display it.

    	 	}
    	 }
     
    }

    here i put my variable as hprice , for the house pricing, bprice, for bed pricing, and cprice for car pricing.
    then i put

    price.setText(+hprice+bprice+cprice)

    since my price variable was 0.00 at default cause none was selected.

    You need to set the contents of the textfield AFTER the user has selected a checkbox.
    The posted code calls setText() BEFORE the user has done anything.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    The error message says what is wrong. The compiler wants a ) above the ^
    The same with the message about the ; Add a ; above the ^

    You need to compile more often and correct the errors then. Compile every few lines instead of waiting so long and getting so many errors.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
