Having problems with my random number guess game

I need help with my java code!

Want it to loop threw everything till the user put in the right number. When the user put in wrong number it should say "type in a different number". When the user put in the right number it should say "congrats you won". But till then it will loop and say "type in a different number" and after 5 tries I want it to say "you failed this mission! do you want to try again?"

import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.Random;

public class Projekt_1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String number;
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Welcome to the guessing game!" + "\nYou     gonna guess a number between 1 and 20." + "\nHOPE YOU LIKE IT!:)");

        Random amount = new Random();
        int guessnumber = anount.nextInt(20);
        int random;

        number = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Guess a number between 1 and 20");
        random = Integer.parseInt(number);

        while (random == guessnumber){
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You won!" + "\nYour number was" + "" + guessnumber);      
        }

        if (random < guessnumber){
            number = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Your number is to high :(" + "\nType in a new lower number!"); 
            random = Integer.parseInt(number);
        }else if (random > guessnumber){
            number = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Your number is to low :(" + "\nType in a higher number!"); 
            random = Integer.parseInt(number);
        }
    }
}

That is because your only iterative statement is only displaying "You won!..etc":

while (random == guessnumber){    
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You won!" + "\nYour number was" + "" + guessnumber);      
}

Enclose the other codes below your while-loop to include them within the while loop. If you indent your codes properly, you should be able to spot your own problem. This is what you are looking for:

while (random != guessnumber){
    //prompt for user input
    if (random < guessnumber){
        //Show Message "Your number is too low...
    }
    else if (random > guessnumber){
        //Show Message "Your number is too high..."
    }
    else{    //got the number
        //Show Message "you won!.."
    }
}
