Java : How to Save a File and overwrite it and display combobox strings?

I am working on a school project using BlueJay and I have created two classes in package Logic which are the Game class, and the VectorGames class.
In my package GUI, I created a class called AddGame and ViewGame class.
The issue that I have encountered is that, when I click the Save Button on Addgame, it saves the file only once. When I try to save it doesn't do or say anything it just stays there returning nothing. Another issue encountered is that on ViewGame, the gameType column is remaining empty ( this is from combo type box )
AddGame code :
package GUI;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import Logic.*;
public class AddGame extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
private JPanel north, south, east, west, center;
private JLabel titleLabel, westLabel, eastLabel;
private JTextField gameNameFld, gameKeyFld;
private JComboBox gameTypeCombo;
private JButton saveButton, clearButton;
private VectorGames vg;
public AddGame(){
super("Adding a Game");
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
vg = new VectorGames();
vg.readFromFile();
//north panel
north = new JPanel();
this.add(north,BorderLayout.NORTH);
titleLabel = new JLabel("Add a game below");
titleLabel.setFont(new Font("Verdana",Font.BOLD,20));

Previous instance of table appends to the newly invoked table. The page should show only one table

When I click the button called Enrolled Subjects, a table showing enrolled subjects is invoked. The data is loaded from a text file. But when I go to another page of the application and go back to the Enrolled Subjects or when I click the Enrolled Subjects Button again, a new table loads and adds to the previously loaded table. This makes the table grow longer every time I click Enrolled Subjects. I have added a removeAll() method which clears the content of the pane before loading the table again, but the previously loaded table, for some reason, does not go away.
Here's the code of the panel where the table is attached.
public class EnrolledSubjectsPanel extends JPanel
{
public EnrolledSubjectsPanel(String path)
{
setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
setBounds(183, 280, 1129, 401);
setLayout(null);
LoadTable table = new LoadTable(path);
table.setBounds(0,60,1129,600);
add(table);
JLabel lblEnrolledSubjects = new JLabel("Enrolled Subjects");
lblEnrolledSubjects.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 35));
lblEnrolledSubjects.setBounds(446, 0, 292, 43);
add(lblEnrolledSubjects);
setVisible(true);
}
}

Thanks in advance!

Try using below code in your LoadTable class before you adding the rows to the table. It will clear the rows in the table model.
dtm.setRowCount(0);
So your new LoadTable class should look like this:
public class LoadTable extends JPanel
{
private static String path;
private static String header[] = {"Subject", "Schedule", "Room", "Proferssor", "Units"};
private static DefaultTableModel dtm = new DefaultTableModel(null, header);
dtm.setRowCount(0); //THIS WILL CLEAR THE ROWS IN YOUR STATIC TABLEMODEL
boolean isLaunched;
public LoadTable(String path)
{
this.path = "subjects" + path;
setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
setBounds(183, 280, 1129, 401);
setLayout(null);
JTable table = new JTable(dtm);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(table);
jsp.setBounds(0, 0, 1129, 380);
add(jsp);
try
{
TextReaderBasic file = new TextReaderBasic(path);
String data[] = file.openFile();
int i = 0;
for(i = 0; i <= data.length; i++)
{
addRow(i);
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
setVisible(true);
}
public static void addRow(int x)
{
try
{
TextReaderBasic file = new TextReaderBasic(path);
String data[] = file.openFile();
int size = data.length;
int i = 0 + x;
int j = 6 + x;
int k = 12 + x;
int l = 18 + x;
int m = 24 + x;
dtm.addRow(new Object[]{data[i], data[j], data[k], data[l], data[m]});
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Action completed :)");
}
}

I am having trouble with one part of my code. I have been working for so long on this and I am exhausted and missing something easy. I need to have a text box to enter a new title for the JFrame, a button that says "Set New Name" and an "Exit Button.
Can someone look at this code and give me some info so I can go to bed.
Thank you
//Good One

Let's start with this (which I assume is where you create the details)...
private void optionsTab() {
optionsPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
//optionsPanel.setLayout(null);
JLabel labelOptions = new JLabel("Change Company Name:");
labelOptions.setBounds(120, 10, 150, 20);
optionsPanel.add(labelOptions);
final JTextField newTitle = new JTextField("Some Title");
newTitle.setBounds(80, 40, 225, 20);
optionsPanel.add(newTitle);
final JTextField myTitle = new JTextField("My Title...");
myTitle.setBounds(80, 40, 225, 20);
myTitle.add(labelOptions);
JButton newName = new JButton("Set New Name");
newName.setBounds(60, 80, 150, 20);
//newName.addActionListener(this);
optionsPanel.add(newName);
optionsPanel.add(createExitButton());
}
The newTitle field is a local variable, so once the method exists, you will not be able to access the field (easily)...
You seem to have tried adding a actionListener to the newName button, which isn't a bad idea, but because you can't actually access the newTitle field, isn't going to help...
The use of setBounds is not only ill advised, but probably won't result in the results you are expecting, because the optionsPane is under the control a layout manager...
And while I was digging around, I noticed this if (errors != "") {...This is not how String comparison is done in Java. This is comparing the memory references of both Strings which will never be true, instead you should if (!"".equals(errors)) {...
But back to the problem at hand...
You are really close to having a solution. You could make the newTitle field a class instance variable, which would allow you to access the field within other parts of your program, but because you've made it final, there's something else you can try...
You can use an anonymous inner class instead...
newName.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
setTitle(newTitle.getText());
}
});
Which should get a good nights sleep :D

It is a little unclear what you want, but if I understand you right you want the JButton newName to set the title of the JFrame to the text in some textbox?
In that case you would write
setTitle(someTextbox.getText());
inside the function of the button.

First, you need to create a JTextField that has public access. Then, create a JButton that implements ActionListener. After that you must implement the abstract method actionPerformed() in the JButton Subclass. Then in the run method say JFrame.setTitle(JTextfield.getText()).
Subclass Method:
public class main extends JFrame{
// Construct and setVisible()
}
class textfield extends JTextField{
// create field then add to JFrame
}
class button extends JButton implements ActionListener{
// create button
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
main.setTitle(textfield.getText());
}
Instance Method:
public class main implements ActionListener{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JTextField field = new JTextField();
JButton button = new JButtone();
button.addActionListener(this);
panel.add(field);
panel.add(button);
frame.add(panel);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
frame.setTitle(field.getText);
}
}

Try This
private void optionsTab() {
optionsPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
// optionsPanel.setLayout(null);
JLabel labelOptions = new JLabel("Change Company Name:");
labelOptions.setBounds(120, 10, 150, 20);
optionsPanel.add(labelOptions);
final JTextField newTitle = new JTextField("Some Title");
newTitle.setBounds(80, 40, 225, 20);
optionsPanel.add(newTitle);
final JTextField myTitle = new JTextField("My Title...");
myTitle.setBounds(80, 40, 225, 20);
myTitle.add(labelOptions);
JButton newName = new JButton("Set New Name");
newName.setBounds(60, 80, 150, 20);
newName.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
setTitle(newTitle.getText());
}
});
// newName.addActionListener(this);
optionsPanel.add(newName);
optionsPanel.add(createExitButton());
}

Manipulating a JComboBox

Hello guys would someone please help me with my program? I have a JComboBox and it has several items inside it. What I want to happen is that whenever the user will click a certain item inside the combobox it should display its item quantity. For example, I clicked on PM1 twice it should display 2 in quantity, if i clicked on PM4 five times then it should display 5 in quantity. I have two classes involved in my program the and the codes are below. By the way I also want to display the quantities beside the item displayed in class CopyShowOrder. Any help will be extremely appreciated Thanks in advance and more power!

I'm not sure if is that what you want, but here it goes..
You can have an idea..

JList very slow adding first element

I'm adding a string to a JList with DefaultListModel and it takes seconds to appear. Sometimes, I may have to click on the JList to have the list appear.
I'm using Eclipse Indigo. When I set a breakpoint after adding the element to JList, execution is fast.
I searched the web and SO for JList slow and they all talk about adding many items to the list. I'm adding the first element to the list.
Here's my code fragments:
private DefaultListModel function_list_model = new DefaultListModel();
private JList list_functions = new JList(function_list_model);
//...
// Initialization code:
JPanel panel_function_list = new JPanel();
panel_function_list.setBounds(10, 53, 541, 220);
panel_functions.add(panel_function_list);
panel_function_list.setLayout(null);
JLabel lblFunctions = new JLabel("Functions");
lblFunctions.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
lblFunctions.setBounds(235, 11, 99, 14);
panel_function_list.add(lblFunctions);
list_functions.setBorder(new LineBorder(new Color(0, 0, 0)));
list_functions.setBounds(10, 42, 492, 177);
list_functions.setFont(new Font("Courier New", Font.PLAIN, 12));
list_functions.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(0, 150));
list_functions.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(32767, 100));
list_functions.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(32767, 100));
JScrollPane scrollPane_functions = new JScrollPane(list_functions);
scrollPane_functions.setBounds(10, 79, 541, 183);
panel_functions.add(scrollPane_functions);
// Code to add a string:
String burger = new String("burger");
function_list_model.addElement(burger);
I'm also using WindowBuilder with Eclipse.
So how do I improve the performance of JList?

if you want I can to generating new Item from Char[] and to call doClick() for JButton("Fire")
