Gui Class not passing variables

[crazykid080 14]

I decided to throw it into my main class and I added some more debugs

doneButton.addActionListener(e -> {
            log("Fired");
            if (itemCB.isSelected()) {
                log(Item);
                utils.items.add(Item);
            }
            if (ItemBCB.isSelected()) {
                log("ItemB");
                utils.items.add("ItemB");
            }
            if (itemCCB.isSelected()) {
                log("ItemC");
                utils.items.add("ItemC");
            }
            if (itemDCB.isSelected()) {
                log("ItemD");
                utils.items.add("ItemD");
            }
            if (itemECB.isSelected()) {
                log("ItemE");
                utils.items.add("ItemE");
            }
            if (itemFCB.isSelected()) {
                log("ItemF");
                utils.items.add("ItemF");
            }
        });

Oddly enough, despite having multiple options selected it only gets through one. I think the issue is the List#add call

Fixed it. Lesson learned: Use ArrayList, not List.

Nice. I didn't catch that you hadn't initialized it. List = new ArrayList<>() would have worked as well.

Yeah. All that suffering and confusion for something so simple. Oh well, live and learn

If you're using IntelliJ, when you hit an issue like this press F2 and it should highlight bits of code that pose potential problems or can be simplified. I think I mentioned it to you before, its good advice 98% of the time but sometimes it fucks your code and it'll be obvious when it does that.
