Buttons in Java taking on values of the button pressed before - java

I am working on a project for class where a piece of code is displayed as an image and buttons are hidden where the errors are in the code. The idea being that the user can then click on the area of code where they think the error is and the button becomes visible- I have set it to be translucent red so the user can still the error underneath. What is happening in the code is the buttons are working, but when I hit another button the button takes on the view through the last button. For example the first button is over error 'j k' and when clicked it becomes red and can still see the error. However when hit the next button where the error is 'i+j' the first button then changes to display 'i+j' taking on the second buttons error. As the error is embedded in an image I am not quite sure how this is happening. Any help would be very welcome.

I would do things differently:
I would give my program an array of Rectangles or ArrayList<Rectangle> and fill the collection with a list of the "active" rectangles on the image.
I would give my program a Rectangle variable, say called pressedRect that is initially set to null.
I would have my gui class extend JPanel and give it a MouseListener.
In this listener's mousePressed(...) method, I would iterate through the Rectangles in the array or collection to see if any of them have been pressed.
If pressed, I would set the pressedRect variable to the Rectangle identified in the Mouselistener.
I would draw the image in the paintComponent(...) method of a JPanel.
In the same paintComponent(...) method, I'd check if pressedRect is null and if not, I'd fill it in using Graphics2D#fill(...) method. You could use a translucent color for this such as new Color(0, 80, 0, 80).

How to remove the blank JFrame from appearing?

When I run my java program, two JFrames are showing, the JFrame that I created and another one that is blank that I cannot close. I think this error also has something to do with my JFrame that I created with components in it, not show when I run the program, instead the one showing is the blank JFrame. How do I fix this?

How can I add a functional Java key listener to a panel under the card layout?

I was designing a program which has multiple layers(panels), and I want these panels to be keyboard sensitive so that I can press ESC to exit to the main menu (First panel) at any time.
Here is the switch panel code that I've written:
public void switchPane(JPanel jp) {
frmDavidsAppstore.getContentPane().removeAll();
frmDavidsAppstore.getContentPane().add(jp);
frmDavidsAppstore.getContentPane().repaint();
frmDavidsAppstore.getContentPane().revalidate();
jp.requestFocusInWindow();
}
I know that in order for the panel to be keyboard sensitive, it needs to be focusable.
Here's the code I have written for the initialisation of one of the panels:
panel2 = new JPanel();
panel2.setFocusable(true);
frmDavidsAppstore.getContentPane().add(panel2, "name_83147693736131");
panel2.setLayout(null);
panel2.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
System.out.println("panel2: " + KeyEvent.getKeyText(e.getKeyCode()));
if(e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE) {
switchPane(panel1);
}
}
});
JButton btnReturnToMain = new JButton("Return to main page");
btnReturnToMain.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
switchPane(panel1);
}
});
btnReturnToMain.setBounds(279, 431, 236, 50);
panel2.add(btnReturnToMain);
I have deleted most of the unrelated functions and codes.
What I wish to accomplish is that when the switch page button is clicked, the switchPane method is executed, and the new panel automatically gets the focus with the requestFocusInWindow(); command, so that user can type ESC to return to the main menu.
When I tried to run the program, it turns out that for the first time I entered a sub-panel, it can not get the focus and does not respond to the keyboard. However, if I return to the main panel using the return button and re-enter the same sub-panel, this time it automatically gets the focus and is responding to the keyboard.
I have no idea why the program shows such behaviour. The following is the full program. Please notice that in the full program I also added a click to get focus function which works. However, I wish the newly opened panel can automatically get the focus and responding to the keys without the user actually clicking the panel.

I have been working on it for a day now and couldn't figure out why. Thank you guys so much for any help or advices.
Apreciated!
Problem solved!!! You need to add .setVisible(true); before .requestFocusInWindow(); in order for it to work!

Trying to find a way to incorporate the parse Int into my calculator

The GUI on the calculator is finished however it does not do any math.
I heard about this command called "parse Int". With this I am trying to receive a string from the user and convert it into an integer. When I click an operator button I want it to receive input again and when i press the equals button I want java to register that string as the second number.
Does anyone know how I could approach this?
I am new in Java and I am doing this for experience with no time limit so I am open to different ways to make the calculator. Below I provide the code...

Copying the whole code into the question is a bit too much, but let me suggest you a hint as more or less pseudocode:
String numToConvert = textField.getText();
try {
int num = new Integer(numToConvert);
//sum up or ...
} catch (Exception e) { //numToConvertIsNotAnInteger
//-> must be an operator
}

Type mismatch: cannot convert from Inventory to JPanel

Line 132 JPanel bookInventory = new Inventory(); of the attached code is reporting the error "Type mismatch: cannot convert from Inventory to JPanel" - any suggestions what's causing this please?

make sure that Inventory extends JPanel
this makes Inventory to behave as a subclass of a JPanel, and thus you can use it in the same way.

Change JButton look to custom picture

Is it possible to change the look of JButton to a custom picture? I want to use this picture as the button: http://i.stack.imgur.com/JMQMX.png instead of: http://i.stack.imgur.com/MXKUF.png
I have tried myself without succeed. Please help me! :)
Here is my code:
package launcher;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener;

/**

static Point mouseDownCompCoords;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
mouseDownCompCoords = null;
final Launcher frame = new Launcher();
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setBackground(new Color(0, 255, 0, 0));
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
mouseDownCompCoords = null;
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
mouseDownCompCoords = e.getPoint();
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
}
});
frame.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
Point currCoords = e.getLocationOnScreen();
frame.setLocation(currCoords.x - mouseDownCompCoords.x,
currCoords.y - mouseDownCompCoords.y);
}
});
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the frame.
*/
public Launcher() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 841, 593);
contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);
contentPane.setLayout(null);
JLabel Design = new JLabel("New label");
Design.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Daniel\\Pictures\\Launcher2.png"));
Design.setBounds(-158, -22, 1047, 592);
contentPane.add(Design);
JButton Playnow = new JButton("");
Playnow.setOpaque(false);
Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Daniel\\Pictures\\Playnow.png"));
Playnow.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
//Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Daniel\\Pictures\\PlaynowHover.png"));
}
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
//Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Daniel\\Pictures\\PlaynowHover.png"));
}
});
Playnow.setBounds(258, 442, 301, 46);
contentPane.add(Playnow);
JButton Exit = new JButton("");
Exit.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
final Launcher frame = new Launcher();
frame.dispose();
System.exit(0);
}
});
Exit.setBounds(766, 60, 19, 17);
contentPane.add(Exit);
}
}
I fixed it. There was something wrong with the picture thats why I couldnt see it...
try {
Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon(new URL("http://i.stack.imgur.com/JMQMX.png")));
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
this worked for me at the moment when i tried using ur code. however, if you wanna load it locally, you should try:
Playnow.setIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("test.png")));
and test.png is in the same directory as the class file this code is in.
hope this helps :)
(I can't write comments yet so i write it as am awnser) I am not sure if this applies here, too but when i tried to change the icon of a Jlabel in my project, i had to set it invisible and after changing the icon visible again. Maybe it works if you try it like that.
Try this:
ImageIcon ic=new ImageIcon("C:/Users/Daniel/Pictures/Playnow.png")
JButton Playnow = new JButton(ic);
Playnow.setOpaque(false);
