Object Array returning null values? - Java

itemprop="text">

I've declared
this in Java:

private
            JToggleButton[]
            zarObj;

Then on the
class constructor filled the
array:

this.zarObj =
            new JToggleButton[]{zar1, zar2, zar3, zar4,
            zar5};

I need to use
zarObj[i] to apply the setIcon method like so in a for
loop:

zarObj[i].setIcon(var);

But
I'm getting the nullPointerException. And when trying to access the
objects:

for (int i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.println(zarObj[i]); I get 5 null messages in the
console.

Answer

You need to initialize those
JToggleButtons before calling
setIcon() on
them:

for (int i=0; i <
            zarObj.length; i++) {
 zarObj[i] = new JToggleButton(params);

            zarObj[i].setIcon(var);
}
