Thread: Java Program Help

I am a novice Java coder. And I am having trouble finding the problem when I start up the program and click the "list files" button, and there are more than 37 files or more to load. It crashes and gives me a null pointer exception at line 77 in the Displays class. Any help would be greatly apreciated. I am still in the process of writing it. So any half finished code is supposed to be that way.

The source code is here:

Hi,

nobody will bothered to download your sources, or is behind a firewall and cannot access it. Post a SSCCE.

If you can not tell which variable it is, add a println just before line 77 and print out the values of all the variables on that line.

I am adding a panel from an array of panels to a frame and says null pointer exception.

frame.add(panel[0]);

and at this line it says null pointer exception. I even checked to see if the panel array wasn't initialized correctly. But the length is 2 so I know it was initialized correctly. But it still doesn't work.

*facepalm* Something as simple as initializing the points in an array stopped me. Thank you.
