How can I remove JButton from JFrame?

I want to remove JButton when user click JButton.

I know that I should use remove method, but it did not work.

How can I do this?

Here is my code:

class Game implements ActionListener {

JFrame gameFrame;
JButton tmpButton;
JLabel tmpLabel1, tmpLabel2, tmpLabel3, tmpLabel4;

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    gameFrame.remove(tmpLabel1);
    gameFrame.getContentPane().validate();
    return;
}

Game(String title) {
    gameFrame = new JFrame(title);
    gameFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    gameFrame.setBounds(100, 100, 300, 500);
    gameFrame.setResizable(false);
    gameFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);

    tmpLabel4 = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("./images/bomber.jpg"));
    tmpLabel4.setSize(200, 200);
    tmpLabel4.setLocation(50, 100);
    tmpButton = new JButton("Play");
    tmpButton.setSize(100, 50);
    tmpButton.setLocation(100, 350);
    tmpButton.addActionListener(this);

    gameFrame.getContentPane().add(tmpLabel4);
    gameFrame.getContentPane().add(tmpButton);
    gameFrame.setVisible(true);
}
}

don't add your button to jframe but add each component you want!

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
   //gameFrame.getContentPane().add(tmpButton); -=> "Commented Area"
   gameFrame.getContentPane().validate();
}

or hide your button like this

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
   tmpButton.setVisible(false);
}

If hiding the button instead of removing works for your code then you can use:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
   tmpButton.setVisible(false);
 }

for the button.But the button is just hidden not removed.

First of all in your actionPerformed method you need to check that the button is clicked or not. And if the button is clicked, remove it. Here's how :

if(e.getSource() == tmpButton){
   gameFrame.getContentPane().remove(tmpButton);
}

add this to your actionPerformed Method

The simplest solution might be to...

For example...

Container parent = buttonThatWasClicked.getParent();
parent.remove(buttonThatWasClicked);
parent.revaidate();
parent.repaint();

As some ideas...
