Show next question when next button is clicked

I trying to read file in java. When click next button, how can I show second question when next button is clicked?
My .txt file content is like this
1. What is his name
A.John
B.David
2. How old is him?
A.24
B.27
So far I am able to display the first question in JTextField.

I refactored the file lines to be like this:
q1 = What is his name? | John | David
q2 = How old is him? | 24 | 27
This way, each question information is in a single line and is easier to parse. You just have to load it as a property file and the q1 and q2 would be the keys, and what is after = would be the values. After that, split it by | or whatever you decide to use.
I refactored your code to look like this:

Notice that I used a Properties object to load all the keys, and then for each of those lines, I parsed it and created a Question object and add it to a questionList. Also, notice the jButton1.addActionListener(e -> { showNextQuestion(); });. Call showNextQuestion(); method everytime you want the next question, in this case, every time to click the Next button.
I'm not sure what you want to acomplish with this application, is not clear yet, but I simply answered your question on how to show the next question.

First of all, your questions in the file should be in uniform format, I mean we should be able to distinguish between different question and it's options.
Secondly, then you read each question and it's options and store it in an Java Object. Let's say Question object.
Question object might be something like below:-
class Question {
String questionString;
String[] options;
}
Then, after you read each question/options and form an Object, you store these objects in a DoublyLinkedList, so you can easily navigate back and forth when user clicks Previous button or Next button.

Having Trouble Serializing Data

I Am having trouble saving the state of a Form application and loading its state. I created a simple Swing Application in Java using netbeans. The purpose of the program is a spit out a unique 4 digit number and had a note if necessary. The trouble came up with I tried to serialize the data so that when the application was opened again I would be able to load the data from where I left off.
Here is the code for the Swing Portion:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Map;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;

Sorry if it's a bit messy, I haven't cleaned up the code yet because I haven't gotten it to work the way I want to to. Any help in completing this application is much appreciated.

The BufferedReader in your class is not seriablizeable and that should be causing the issue. Make it transient and it should work.

Created a passwordfield in java that is supposed to log in and allow you to move to second Jframe, it doesnt work?

I'm trying to do a log in I've gotten the username to work but the password is failing hard, I've tried multiple techniques and different ways and all of them have failed, my last effort seems to do nothing at all no error messages either where my previous stuff displayed error.
Can you please help me fix this + show me how to navigate to another page if the access is verified and password and username is right?

Hoping it helped....

Your password field is not inited, it's still null when you try to take char[] from it. You can try with:
final JPasswordField Passwordfld = new JPasswordField();
// Passwordfld.setText("Secret");
getContentPane().add(Passwordfld);
Passwordfld.setBounds(198, 157, 79, 23);
Passwordfld.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// System.out.println("Passwordfld.actionPerformed, event="+evt);
// TODO add your code for Passwordfld.actionPerformed
}
});
OKbtn = new JButton();
getContentPane().add(OKbtn);
OKbtn.setText("OK");
OKbtn.setBounds(102, 217, 59, 23);
OKbtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
String passText = new String(Passwordfld.getPassword());
if (Usernametxt.getText().equals("Admin")) {
String cmd = evt.getActionCommand();
if (OKbtn.getActionCommand().equals(cmd)) { // Process the password.
if (isPasswordCorrect(passText.toCharArray())) {
System.out.println("Password Accepted");
} else {
System.out.println("Password Rejected: " + passText);
}
// Zero out the possible password, for security.
Arrays.fill(passText.toCharArray(), '0');
Passwordfld.selectAll();
/*
* else{ System.out.println("permition Rejected"); }
*/
// else{}
/*
* if (Passwordfld = Password)= true) {
* System.out.println("permition granted");}
*/
}

How to Unhighlight the text in JTextPane

I have write a code to find a word in JTextPane. Problem here is when I enter a search word and click on search button it was highlight the all the occurrence of the given search word.

Another one is it was not unHighlight the after search complete when click on text pane.

If you need just to highlight one word you don't need all the addHighlight() and removeHighlight() calls.
Just figure out the word's offset (and length) and use setSelectionStart()/setSelectionEnd() method of the JTextPane passing the word start and start + length
