Unable to add object to ArrayList throught input by jtextField()

Question

When you press the JButton Ny the user input is supposed to be added as an object(class Deltagare) in an ArrayList, and when the user later press the JButton Visa, it should show up in the JTextArea.

The problem is that the textArea only displays an empty Arraylist, somehow the input isn't added to the Arraylist.

class Tävling extends JFrame

    public static ArrayList<Deltagare> list = new ArrayList<Deltagare>();

    JTextArea text = new JTextArea();

    JRadioButton rb1 = new JRadioButton("Startnr", true);
    JRadioButton rb2 = new JRadioButton("Namn", false);
    JRadioButton rb3 = new JRadioButton("Ålder", false);
    JRadioButton rb4 = new JRadioButton("Tid", false);

            r1.add(new JLabel ("Namn:"));
            r1.add(nfield);
            form.add(r1);
            nfield.addActionListener(this);

            JPanel r2 = new JPanel();
            r2.add(new JLabel ("Land:"));

            r3.add(afield);

            afield.addActionListener(this);

            JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, form, "Ny Tävlande"
                                          , JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
        }

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ave) 
        {
            String name = nfield.getText();

            int startnr = getStartnr();

            list.add(new Deltagare(name, country, age, startnr));       
        }   
    }

    //JOptionPane - Tid (Registrera ny)
    class F2
    {       
        JTextField field1 = new JTextField(6);

            JPanel r1 = new JPanel();
            r1.add(new JLabel ("Startnr:"));
            r1.add(field1);
            form.add(r1);

            JPanel r2 = new JPanel();
            r2.add(new JLabel ("Tid:"));
            r2.add(field2);
            form.add(r2);

            JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, form, "Registrera Tid"
                                           , JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);

        }
    }   
}

And the Class Deltagare:

public class Deltagare
{
    public String name,country;
    public int age,startnr;

    public Deltagare(String n, String c, int a, int b)
    {
        this.name = "n";
        this.country = "c";
        this.age = a;   
        this.startnr = b;
    }

    public void setStartnr(int b)
    {
        startnr = b;
    }

    public int getStartnr()
    {
        return startnr; 
    }

    public String getName()
    {
        return name;    
    }

    public String getCountry()
    {
        return country; 
    }

    public int getAge()
    {
        return age; 
    }

    public String toString()
    {
        return startnr + "" + name + " " + country + " " + age;
    }

}

Answer 1

First of all the constructor of your Deltagare class is doing wrong thing, replace

public Deltagare(String n, String c, int a, int b)
{
    this.name = "n";
    this.country = "c";
    this.age = a;   
    this.startnr = b;
}

with

public Deltagare(String n, String c, int a, int b)
{
    // removed quotes to assign value of n to name and same for country.
    this.name = n;
    this.country = c;
    this.age = a;   
    this.startnr = b;
}

Then, you had added actionListener to all your JTextField in F1 class, but there is nothing to capture what if user clicked on OK Button or CANCEL Button. For this do something like this, to take input inside the constructor of your F1:

F1()
{
    JPanel form = new JPanel();
    form.add(new JLabel("Startnr "+ getStartnr()));
    form.setLayout(new BoxLayout(form, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

    JPanel r1 = new JPanel();
    r1.add(new JLabel ("Namn:"));
    r1.add(nfield);
    form.add(r1);
    nfield.addActionListener(this);

    JPanel r2 = new JPanel();
    r2.add(new JLabel ("Land:"));
    r2.add(cfield);
    form.add(r2);
    cfield.addActionListener(this);

    JPanel r3 = new JPanel();
    r3.add(new JLabel ("Ålder:"));
    r3.add(afield);
    form.add(r3);
    afield.addActionListener(this);

    int choice = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, form, "Ny Tävlande"
                                       , JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
    // If the value of the user is OK, then do this, else do nothing.                             
    if (choice == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION)
    {
        String name = nfield.getText();
        String country = cfield.getText();
        int age = Integer.parseInt(afield.getText());
        int startnr = getStartnr();

        list.add(new Deltagare(name, country, age, startnr));
    }
    else if (choice == JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION)
    {
        System.out.println("CANCEL OPTION SELECTED, DO SOMETHING NOW :-)");
    }
}

Answer 2

In your class F1, you show a form within a JOptionPane but you don't do anything with the user's response (ok or Cancel). You have a method actionPerformed but which is for an ActionListener, but you never register your ActionListener anywhere. I think you should simply treat the result of the JOptionPane. If OK, then invoke the code in your actionPerformed (which can be renamed).

NB: showConfirmDialog is a blocking call.
