Score++ doesnt work

Question

I am trying to add score when the button is pressed,the score is displayed in the JTextField, but when the button is pressed the score inst added, it says 0. I have an integer field which stores the score

private int score=0;

yesButton = new JButton("True");
panel.add(yesButton);
yesButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    int index = 0;
    @Override
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        index++;
        score++;
        qScore.setText("",+score);
        qText.setText(questions.get(index).getQuestions());  
    }
});

score

JPanel scorePanel = new JPanel();
        scorePanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,0));
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Score:");
        JTextField qScore = new JTextField(); 
        qScore.setEditable(false);

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In your actionPerformed method, you're not updating the view with the new score. I imagine it will be something like:

score.setText("Score:" + score);

Answer 2

Your variable qScore should be an instance member and constructed once.

Then when the actionPerformed method is fired, call setText

// in actionPerformed
score++;
qScore.setText(score);
