Having some issues figuring out how to code my add, modify, search, delete, and save buttons in my program. The buttons need to also adjust the size of the array once I add or delete the an item. Any help would be great. I may be going about this the wrong way entirely but I am very new to Java. These buttons start with line 498

Thank you

Can you reduce the size of your program or create a small program that will demonstrate your problem. Your posted code is TOO big.

how to code my add, modify, search, delete, and save buttons in my program. The buttons need to also adjust the size of the array once I add or delete the an item

Write a program that has only these features: a GUI with the buttons and an array that you want to manipulate based on the button presses.
