Java-nothing happens when my button is clicked

I want to build a registration form in Java, and one of my buttons is to upload a picture. The problem is that no matter what I try, nothing happens when I click the button. Even when my code is just System.out.print("the button is clicked");, it prints nothing.

What I have tried:

This is my code:

Java

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.File;

public class Registration extends JDialog
{
    private JPanel registerpanel;
    private JTextField txtuser;
    private JTextField txtfname;
    private JTextField txtlname;
    private JTextField txtemail;
    private JPasswordField txtpass2;
    private JPasswordField txtpass;
    private JRadioButton rbmale;
    private JRadioButton rbfemale;
    private JTextField txtphone;
    private JButton btnregister;
    private JButton btnlogin;
    private JComboBox daybox;
    private JComboBox monthbox;
    private JComboBox yearbok;
    public JButton uploadButton;
    private JLabel lblpic;

    public  Registration(JFrame parent)
    {
        super(parent);
        setTitle("Messanger 2023");
        setMinimumSize(new Dimension(550, 650));
        setContentPane(registerpanel);
        setModal(true);
        setLocationRelativeTo(parent);
        setVisible(true);

        btnregister.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                RegisterUser();
            }
        });

        uploadButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                System.out.print("the button is clicked");
            }
        });
    }

    private void RegisterUser() {
        String Username = txtuser.getText();
        char[] Password = txtpass.getPassword();
        char[] Confirmpass = txtpass2.getPassword();
        String Firstname = txtfname.getText();
        String Lastname = txtlname.getText();
        String Gender = rbmale.getText();
        String Email = txtemail.getText();
        String Phone = txtphone.getText();
        String bdate = daybox.toString() + "/" + monthbox.toString() + "/" + yearbok.toString();

        if (Username.isEmpty() || Password.length == 0 || Firstname.isEmpty() || Lastname.isEmpty() || Gender.isEmpty() || Email.isEmpty() || Phone.isEmpty() || bdate.isEmpty())
        {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "All fields are required. Please check the form.", "Try again", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
            return;
        }

        if (!Password.equals(Confirmpass))
        {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Password is not match. Please check again.", "Try Again", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
            return;
        }

       // AddUserToDatebase(Username,Password,Firstname,Lastname, Email,Phone, bdate);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Registration myform= new Registration(null);
    }

There is a lot of code missing there so it is difficult to guess what is happening.

Hi, this is ALL code code. Just know that it's just the beginning so there isn't so much code. Please try to help me

It looks like you're trying to run a dialog from it's "constructor". That's not how it's usually done.

Well that code just about compiles, but then immediately throws an exception because you are trying to run the code without a parent frame. So you need to get a clean, runnable class before you can investigate the button presses.

Check Component Names: First, ensure that the uploadButton component in your UI design matches the name you're using in your code (uploadButton.addActionListener). Double-check the name and its case sensitivity.

Button Placement: Make sure that the button is placed correctly within your UI and is not obstructed by any other components.

ActionListener: You have the uploadButton.addActionListener code block, which is good. However, since you're saying that even a simple System.out.print doesn't work, let's ensure that the uploadButton is indeed the problem.

Try adding the same ActionListener to another button (for example, btnregister) temporarily, and see if it prints when you click that button. This will help you confirm if the ActionListener itself is working correctly.

UI Interaction: Check if other UI components, like text fields and radio buttons, are responding as expected. This will help determine if the UI is responsive in general.

Testing Outside Constructor: For troubleshooting purposes, consider moving the uploadButton.addActionListener code block out of the constructor and into the main method just after you create the Registration instance. This will help you isolate if there's any issue with the constructor's execution.

Java

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Registration myform= new Registration(null);
    
    myform.uploadButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            System.out.println("Upload button clicked.");
        }
    });

}
If the print statement works in the main method, it indicates that the button and ActionListener are set up correctly, and there might be a timing or visibility issue in the constructor.

Console Output: Make sure to check the console output for any errors or exceptions that might be occurring when you click the button.
By systematically testing and isolating different parts of your code, you'll be able to identify the root cause of the issue and ensure that your upload button responds as expected.
