Dynamically creating jradiobuttons for each jlabel

Question

What my program does is allow the user to select from a list of movies and decide whether they want to rent or purchase each movie. Here is my code:

 public void addMovie(JFrame framePassed, JLabel moviePassed, JCheckBox movieCheckBoxPassed){



    if (movieCheckBoxPassed.isSelected() == true)
    {
    framePassed.add(moviePassed);

       bg2.add(rentButton);  
       bg2.add(purchaseButton); 

       framePassed.add(rentButton);
       framePassed.add(purchaseButton);
    }//end if

    else
    {
    framePassed.remove(moviePassed);

    }//end else
   // movieList.add(new Movie());
    framePassed.setSize(1000, 1000);
    framePassed.setVisible(true);



  }//end method

The moviePassed is added to the framePassed but the radio buttons are not appearing. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

1. Best if you could create and post a small compilable and runnable program that demonstrates what you're trying to do, a [mcve] (read the link). 2. You don't want to add and remove components directly to and from a JFrame. That's madness. 3. Better to add and remove from JPanels. 4. Better still to use JLists or JTables. 5. You don't tell us key information including layout managers used. In all a very incomplete question that you'll want to improve. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, May 04 '16 at 01:17
As suggested above the few random lines doesn't give us the context of how the code is actually used. However I did notice one thing. You appear to be attempting to add the radio buttons to two different components. A component can only have a single parent, so your posted code won't work. — camickr, May 04 '16 at 03:16

Try grouping your radio buttons:

ButtonGroup optionsButtonGroup = new ButtonGroup();
optionsButtonGroup.add(rentButton);
optionsButtonGroup.add(purchaseButton);

How does this help him in his main problem -- that the JRadioButtons don't show up in his GUI? ButtonGroups have nothing to do with component display and all to do with behavior -- something not addressed in the original question. I think that you're providing an answer way too early, before we even know why his program is not functioning correctly. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels May 04 '16 at 01:32
