Help for a begginer using swing

Question

Basically I need help with a program for a school project. i am not looking for a quick answer but rather some pointers in the right direction. This is my first time using swing and my first project is to create a blackJack game. I am having trouble with functionality. there are problems on tab 2 with almost all the buttons. any help would be greatly appreciated. since i didnt have enough room for all my code i posted it online to be accessed at this site: [https://code.google.com/p/blackjackgui-alpha/]

Answer 1

private void jTextField2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
String betString = jTextField2.getText();
betString = Integer.toString(bet);// TODO add your handling code here:
total = total - bet;
  private void jMenuItem1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                          
    System.exit(0);        // TODO add your handling code here:
  private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
    String name = jTextField1.getText();
    String prefix = (String)jComboBox1.getSelectedItem();
    jLabel2.setText("Hello " + prefix + name + " and welcome to blackJack please press the tab labeled BlackJack");
      jLabel3.setText("Welcome to you personal blackJack game " + prefix + name + " your cards are" + card1 + "(" + card1s + ") and " + card2 + "(" +card2s + ")  your hand total is " + handTotal);
    jLabel5.setText("This is where you may see the Dealers information " + prefix + name);
  private void jButton2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
          handTotal = card1 + card2;
          if(handTotal > 21)
              jLabel3.setText("You busted press hit");
              handTotal = 0;
          handTotal = card1+card2;
          dealerHandTotal = 0;
          dealerHandTotal = dealerCard1 + dealerCard2;
          handTotal = handTotal + card3;
      jLabel3.setText("You have hit and recieve " + card3 +   "your total is " + handTotal);
            jLabel5.setText("Dealer hits and recieves " + dealerCard1 + "(" + dealerCard1s + ") and " + dealerCard2 + "(" + dealerCard2s + ")  Dealer total is " + dealerHandTotal);
    if(handTotal > 21)
      jLabel3.setText("I am sorry, you busted with: " + handTotal + "Please press hit to begin a new round");
handTotal = 0;
      card1=card1;
      card2 = card2;
    else if( handTotal == 21)
          total =  total + (bet*2);
      jLabel3.setText("BLACKJACK!!! your total is now: " + total);
      handTotal = 0;
      dealerHandTotal = 0;
    else if(handTotal == dealerHandTotal)
        jLabel3.setText("PUSH ...house automatically wins");
                   jLabel5.setText("PUSH ...house automatically wins");
                   handTotal = 0;
                   dealerHandTotal = 0;
    else if(dealerHandTotal < 17 || handTotal > dealerHandTotal) {
                dealerHandTotal = dealerHandTotal + dealerCard1;
    else if(dealerHandTotal == 21)
        jLabel5.setText("DEALER GETS BLACKJACK!!")
                dealerHandTotal = 0;
        dealerHandTotal = dealerCard1+dealerCard2;
        handTotal = 0;
        handTotal = card1 + card2;
  private void jButton3ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
    jLabel3.setText("You have stood at " + handTotal);   // TODO add your handling code here:
  private void jButton4ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
    jLabel3.setText("You have folded at your total of: " + handTotal);
    jLabel5.setText("You have folded at you total of:" + handTotal)
    handTotal = 0;
    dealerHandTotal = 0;
