How can I add contents to an array of label

Here is the code:

for (int i = 1; i < tbt; i++){
			int q = Min(bt, at,tbt, i,n);				
			if (q != q2){
				
			
				label[q].setText("ASD");
				jPanel[q].add(label[q]);
				jDialog1.add(jPanel[q]);
			
				time[k++] = i;
				wt[q] = i;
				tat[q] = i + bt[q];
				
				
			}
			
			bt[q] = bt[q] - 1;
			q2 = q;
		}

Am I missing some parts or there's something wrong with it?

Looks as though you have never defined the elements of the array. When you initialise an array of objects (regardless of what class) you need to initialise the individual elements before you can use tham as that object, as initially, per default, all elements will contain a null reference value. I.E. for every index you must do array[index] = new Whatever()

You aren't giving nearly enough information to be helpful in helping us figure out wtf is wrong with your code. Either post a *full* test case or give us the entire code. It is rather hard to try and fix a flat when you don't know where the hole is located.

I used Netbeans in making the design thats why its kinda confusing

The computations are not correct.
Don't mind them

Don't use the NetBeans GUI Builder. Seriously write your own GUI code by hand. Swing is pretty straight-forward and easy to use. You can check out the DIC Java Tutorials Section for Swing tutorials, if you want.

[pbl]

Where is your label[] array initialized ?
The only thing I see is
label = null;

and don't use a GUI generator. It produces horrible code almost unreadable by a human being. We won't waste our time tryng to decipher it. The problem is probably not in the code but in the instructions you gave to the GUI generator and we can't be behind your shoulders watching what you do.

[masijade]

Correct, he not only has not initialised the elements of the array he hasn't even defined the array itself, only declared it.

[paulple]

oh. I'll just figure it out.

well yeah I too can't understand some parts the netbeans created.
by the way, thanks for your advises

In the real world, you will never see GUI generated code going into production. As prototypes sometimes it may be usefull.
Imagine at your first Java programmer job when they will ask you to write a simple GUI using Notepad
