I have created a JPanel that has all the JRadioButtons on it that I need (it is called PortSettings). I also have a button, called port settings, when the user clicks the button, I need the JPanel to come up and display the radio buttons. I have tried to add the JPanel to the actionlistener but it doesn't work. My code is below. I have deleted all other ActionListener's from the other buttons except for the portsettings buttons. If this question is confusing I'm sorry. It's really hard to explain what I need to do. I have uploaded a drawing of what the panel will look like as well as a screenshot of my program.

I have tried to add a JFrame to the ActionListener then add the JPanel to the JFrame but nothing happens when I click the Port Settings button. Also, when I tried to add the JPanel to the JFrame it told me to put final in front of JPanel PortSettings = new JPanel();. Here is the code.

You´re on the right track, but you do not want to add your PortSettings panel to a new JFrame but somewhere on your previously built one, assigned to the local variable frame. So your action listener should rather be
portsettings.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
frame.add(PortSettings, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.pack();
}
});
(This is assuming that you actually want to add it to the frame at that instant and not add it invisibly right from the start and turn it visible, like #Aleksei suggested.)
The error message about final is because you use PortSettings in an (anonymous) inner class - viz., the ActionListener. In my proposed modification the same goes for frame, so you need to adapt its declaration as well:
final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
The reason why is quite technical and beside the point right now: just do it.
If instead you want the panel to appear in a separate window, you need a JDialog for that, not a second JFrame:
portsettings.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame);
dialog.add(PortSettings);
dialog.pack();
dialog.setVisible(true);
}
});
Take a look at the JOptionPane class for a rich choice of ways to get more functionality out of dialogs.
Just add the action listener to all your buttons.
like this:
yourButton.addActionListener(this);
Do that for all the buttons.
Then take your TestPalication class's actionPreformed method and do whatever:
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
((JRadioButton) arg0.getSource()).setTitle("Clicked!");
}
Your question was a little bit confusing but I hope this clarifies a little bit.

I am a new to Java, I met a problem. Once I click the Button, it never shows me another form, just disappear. You can see, I set the button ActionListener, but it only run the second line (close the current form).

I am creating a library management app and i have created multiple jpanels in a frame but when i move from
panel to another it fluctuates and a previously used buttons overlap
current buttons. And even buttons are not moving at proper postions even after changing the setBounds parameters.
Try using CardLayout, here is your code with the card layout being used... Note: You're missing some actions on your buttons to return to the MAIN screen, I'll leave that to you! :-)

JPanel uses FlowLayout by default which respects preferred sizes. The default width of the preferred size for the JTextArea's is 0 x 0. You need to give the JTextComponent's a preferred size for them to appear. Use the constructor that specifys rows & columns:
JTextArea card = new JTextArea(5, 10);
Don't forget to make the JTextArea scrollable by enclosing it in a JScrollPane:
accountPanel.add(new JScrollPane(card));
What's wrong with my code? The panel named 'leftPanel' is not showing up when i run the program whereas 'flightPanel

Following up on #kloffy's suggestion:
package playground.tests;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
public class ButtonTest extends TestCase {
public void testThreeButtons() throws Exception {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout());
JButton button1 = new JButton("A");
JButton button2 = new JButton("B");
JButton button3 = new JButton("C");
panel.add(button1);
panel.add(button2);
panel.add(button3);
JFrame window = new JFrame("Contacts");
window.setContentPane(panel);
window.setSize(300, 600);
window.pack();
window.setVisible(true);
int width = button1.getWidth();
assertEquals(width, button2.getWidth());
assertEquals(width, button3.getWidth());
}
}
