    text
    copied!<p>I've basically been trying to make a menu for a game by using a JFrame and switching out 2 JPanels (one for the menu and one for the actual game). I'm trying to implement the most basic format I can think of but can't seem to get it to work. If anybody could explain what's wrong with the code I would appreciate it.</p> <p>Here's my JFrame, menu panel, and ActionListener</p> <pre><code>package buttonMenu; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Button; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class Skeleton extends JFrame implements ActionListener{ JPanel menu; JButton button; public Skeleton(){ setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setSize(400, 400); setVisible(true); menu = new JPanel(); button = new JButton("button"); menu.setSize(400, 400); menu.setBackground(Color.BLACK); menu.setVisible(true); menu.add(button); button.setLocation(200, 200); button.addActionListener(this); add(menu, BorderLayout.CENTER); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a){ JPanel panel = Game.Game(); this.remove(menu); this.add(panel); } public static void main(String args[]){ new Skeleton(); } } </code></pre> <p>The actionPerformed calls the panel created in this class</p> <pre><code>package buttonMenu; import java.awt.Color; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class Game{ public static JPanel Game(){ JPanel panel = new JPanel(); panel.setSize(400, 400); panel.setBackground(Color.WHITE); return panel; } } </code></pre> <p>Again, if anybody could explain to me what's wrong with this code I would appreciate it. Thanks</p>
