method call not responding correctly

[Patty Kingsmill]

I can't believe this isn't working!
I am building a GUI which includes the following code (I will just post the pertinent lines):

Invoice invoices = new Invoice();

finish = new JButton("Finish and Save");

finish.addActionListener(
new ActionListener()
{

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
int quantity = catalogItems.getSelectedIndices().length;
double price = 10.00;

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "quantity: " + catalogItems.getSelectedIndices().length);

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Thank you for your order. Your total is " + invoices.getPayAmount(quantity, price));
}
});

class Invoice implements Payable
{
private int quantity;
private double pricePerItem;

public void setQuantity(int count)
{
quantity = (count < 0) ? 0: count;
}

public int getQuantity()
{
return quantity;
}


public void setPricePerItem(double price)
{
pricePerItem = (price < 0.0) ? 0.0: price;
}

public double getPricePerItem()
{
return pricePerItem;
}

public double getPayAmount(int qty, double price)
{
return getQuantity() * getPricePerItem();
}

}



interface Payable
{
double getPayAmount(int qty, double price);
}

There are no compiling errors but the result of the getPayAmount() is always 0. I have tried passing (4, 10.00) - answer is still 0.

I need to be hit with a clue-by-four - what am I not seeing?

At least in the code you posted, you never set the quantity and pricePerItem fields of Invoice, so they keep their default values of zero.

Thanks, that was the ticket.
