Replace ImageIcon with JButton pressed

I am having trouble replacing ImageIcon with a first ImageIcon whereupon a Jbutton is pressed. So far I have tried replacing the frame, .setIcon(myNewImage);, and .remove();. Not sure what to do now... (I'll need to replace and resize them.) Here is my code. (It is supposed to be like one of those Japanese dating games... please ignore that the pictures are local I have no site to host them yet.

Here is MCVE that demonstrates changing an icon on a JButton when it is clicked:

import javax.swing.JPanel;

};
private int iconNumber = 0;
private JButton button;
public ChangeButtonIcon() throws IOException {
button = new JButton();
button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(urls[iconNumber]));
button.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
button.addActionListener(e -> swapIcon());
add(button);
}
private void swapIcon() {
iconNumber = iconNumber >= (urls.length -1) ? 0 : iconNumber+1;
button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(urls[iconNumber]));
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
JFrame window = new JFrame();

window.add(new ChangeButtonIcon());
window.pack();

}

I find writting MCVE a very useful technique. Not only it makes helping much easier, it
is a powerful debugging tool. It many case, while preparing one, you are likely to find the problem.
It should represent the problem or the question asked. Not your application.

Setting an ImageIcon to a label in another class through validation from previous label

I have a program that requires selecting a character, in this case a gender. When the 'female' button is pressed, on the same JFrame,in class Genders, a female ImageIcon is displayed on the label 'Avatar'. The same with male. If it's clicked, a male ImageIcon is displayed on the JFrame. On another JFrame, I have the class StartGame, with my selected gender displaying in the label playerbattle. I don't know how to make it that the selected gender is displayed. Please help, here's my code:

I created a JButton that plays a sound when clicked - How do I implement that on more buttons

{
JButton test = new JButton("");
JButton test1 = new JButton("");
JButton test2 = new JButton("");
JButton test3 = new JButton("");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
public void playSound(String soundName)
{
try
{
AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File(soundName).getAbsoluteFile());
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
clip.open(audioInputStream);
clip.start();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("Error with playing sound.");
ex.printStackTrace( );
}
}
public bob() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Movie Stars");
test.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\bob\\Desktop\\Leonardo.jpg"));
test1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\bob\\Desktop\\Bruce.jpg"));
test2.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\bob\\Desktop\\Jim.jpg"));
test3.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\bob\\Desktop\\Robert.jpg"));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.pack();
frame.add(panel);
frame.setSize(1000, 800);
frame.setResizable(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
panel.add(test);
panel.add(test1);
panel.add(test2);
panel.add(test3);
panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2,2));
test.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
playSound("Leonardo.wav");
}
}
);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
bob t = new bob();
}
}
So basically I have a grid with 4 buttons of pictures, and I'm trying to make it so when you click each picture a sound plays. I implemented it for one of the buttons however everything I have tried so far to make it work for the other 3 buttons has not been successful. I thought I would just duplicate the test.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { and replace 'test' with 'test1' but that's not it I also tried to add an 'else if catch' to that play loop so that if e.getSource() == test then it would play one of the sounds, else if e.getSource() == test2 it would play another but did not work

As others have said in the comments, your code works just fine.
I downloaded Netbeans just to check it out for you :p
Here is the code working as intended:
Here is the ActionListener code I used (tested with 2 different sounds):
test.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
playSound("C:\\Users\\DT\\Music\\Beep.wav");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Beep1 Just Went Off");
}
});
test1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
playSound("C:\\Users\\DT\\Music\\Beep2.wav");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Beep2 Just Went Off");
}
});
test2.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
playSound("C:\\Users\\DT\\Music\\Beep.wav");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Beep3 (Beep.wav) Just Went Off");
}
});
test3.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
playSound("C:\\Users\\DT\\Music\\Beep.wav");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Beep4 (Beep.wav) Just Went Off");
}
});

I did pretty much the same thing and it also works for me. I also made some improvements in the sound loading.

Instead of loading the sound again each time it is click, I loaded the sounds when I started the program.
To answer your question in the title. I added two action listeners, one to each button that plays the different sounds.

How to stop all currently playing clips in Java before playing a new one?

I am making a Smart ATM application for my college project using Swing which can be used by people with visual disabilities as well.
I have added mouse over listeners to every button so that the program plays a clip which speaks about the operation of that button.
The problem is when user hovers over multiple buttons in a short period of time when a clip about previous button is already getting played, two clips get played simultaneously which is not what I want.
My code so far for the current frame is:

Opening, Editing and Saving text in JTextArea to .txt file

I am messing around with java swing and am trying to open a text file containing existing data with a JTextArea. It doesn't seem to be saving any changes regardless of the different things I have tried.
Below is code that reads the text file fine, but doesn't write it (obviously).
If someone could please advise me as to how I could successfully save changes to the JTextArea I would be greatful.
package funwithswing;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
public class AllDataGUI extends JFrame{
public AllDataGUI(){
fileRead();
panels();
}
private String storeAllString="";
private JButton saveCloseBtn = new JButton("Save Changes and Close");
private JButton closeButton = new JButton("Exit Without Saving");
private JFrame frame=new JFrame("Viewing All Program Details");
private JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(storeAllString,0,70);
private JButton getCloseButton(){
return closeButton;
}
private void fileRead(){
try{
FileReader read = new FileReader("CompleteData.txt");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(read);
while(scan.hasNextLine()){
String temp=scan.nextLine()+"\n";
storeAllString=storeAllString+temp;
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void fileWrite(){
try{
FileWriter write = new FileWriter ("CompleteData.txt");
textArea.write(write);
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private void panels(){

panel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));

rightPanel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(15, 5, 5, 10));

panel.add(scrollBarForTextArea);
frame.add(panel);
frame.getContentPane().add(rightPanel,BorderLayout.EAST);
rightPanel.add(saveCloseBtn);
rightPanel.add(closeButton);
closeButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
frame.dispose();
}
});
frame.setSize(1000, 700);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
private void saveBtn(){
}
}

You need to close FileWriter. Use try-with-resource of Java-7 or finally block to close resource properly.
private void fileWrite(){
FileWriter write=null;
try{
write = new FileWriter ("CompleteData.txt");
textArea.write(write);
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
if(write != null)
write.close();
}
}

There are some mistakes in your code, I have modified those. Compile and run the below code This will solv your problem.
