I am trying to create a JTextField to receive input from the user. I have created an instance of JTextField and added into the JFrame. However, this code is not working. Mind point out my mistakes ? It suppose to work, however I could not find out the problem is. Do I miss something else ?

The code for the JTextField :

JTextField yourInputField = new JTextField(20);
String word2 = yourInputField.getText();
content.add(yourInputField);

This line shows the error of the IllegalArgumentException.

my_url.openStream()

I expected to see a JTextField pop up to receive inputs which is a random URL and the code will process the URL. Sorry for my bad display of question. I am not very familiar with programming question answering forum.

Where do you read input from the text field? I see it happening once in the constructor, but since you're reading the text from a new, empty text field, you won't be getting any input from the user with that call.

If you want the user to be able to input data into the text field and have the input processed afterwards, you're going to need to use event-driven programming with action listeners and the like. This will allow parts of the program to run when the user performs certain actions, like text input.

One problem here is that you are not specifying where you want to add yourInputField correctly. Use for example

  content.add(yourInputField, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

instead

  content.add(yourInputField);

If you are not specifying value the BorderLayout adds by default to center thus you do not see the scrolling area.
