Cycling through ArrayList items

[Nandomo]

I am making a Gui for an inventory. And I want for each time a person presses my next button, the jLabels to display the next item in the arrayList. Right now I'm stuck as it only displays the last element, Any help please?

// action on the button

public void getItems() {
        Product p = new Product();
        ArrayList <Product> aList = p.getArrList();
        
        for (int i = 0; i < aList.size(); i++){
            jLabel6.setText(aList.get(i).getProduct());
            jLabel7.setText(aList.get(i).getPrice());
            jLabel8.setText(aList.get(i).getQuantity());
            jLabel9.setText(aList.get(i).getUPC());
            
        }
            
        
        
        
        
    }

Well, it's not strange that you only get the last item since each call to getItems() will loop through the whole list and end up with the last element each time.

Depending on the layout of your program (didn't read all of your source code, only the getItems() method) you can either have a global variable to keep track of which index to get from the list or change getItems() to something like

getItems(int n)

and return the n:th element of the array, still there's a need to keep track of the current index.

Good luck

This worked just fine, thanks for the advice anyway.

public void getItems() {
        Product p = new Product();
        Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
        ArrayList <Product> aList = p.getArrList();
        
            jButton1.setVisible(false);
            for(int i = 0; i < aList.size(); i++){
            jLabel6.setText(aList.get(i).getProduct());
            jLabel7.setText(String.valueOf(aList.get(i).getPrice()));
            jLabel8.setText(String.valueOf(aList.get(i).getQuantity()));
            jLabel9.setText(aList.get(i).getUPC());
            jLabel10.setText("Press Enter to Continue.");
            JOptionPane.showInternalConfirmDialog(mainPanel, "");
            }
            jLabel10.setText("");
            jButton1.setVisible(true);
        
        
        
    }
