Question

I want to know how I can make a Java program where an unknown amount of objects can be added to a GUI depending on user input. I can program in objects one at a time within the program, but I haven’t seen a more dynamic program.

Can I do that with Java? If not, what can I do it with?

For more information, here’s a picture.

There can be more than one question per question block, and each question can have it’s own question block.

Ofcourse you can do it with Java Swings. All you gotta do is based on user input you gotta take a decision to add new JPanels. From the picture you’ve given in the example, you would need to add a Q&A block dynamically. Simply attach that to any event handler within your application so that it gets added dynamically

public getQandAPanel(){
    JPanel questPanel = new JPanel();
    JPanel answerPanel = new JPanel();
    JPanel wrappingPanel = new JPanel();
    wrappingPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,1));
    //CODE TO DECORATE question and answer panels should go here
    wrappingPanel.add(questPanel);
    wrappingPanel.add(answerPanel);
}

Now everytime when you call this getQandAPanel, this would return you a fresh JPanel everytime which you can add it to your parent JFrame. You should have a good idea of Java Swings to know what I’m talking about.
