I have had a good look in books and the internet but cannot find a solution to my specific problem.Im really worried as time is running out.
I am writing code for an account. Each transaction, if it is add or withdraw is an object. Information such as the add amount, withdraw amount, transaction number,balance and total spending in a particular category is an object. Each object is stored in an arrayList. There is also code for logging in because this will eventually be an app. It requires the user to input their student number(last 4 digits).
The code runs ok and it serializes on termination. Upon running the code i can see it has de serialized the file as there is a list of objects in the arrayList printed.
My problem is that the values such as student number and balance are 0 when the code runs.Also the transaction number does not increment. It does increment while the code runs but stops upon termination, starting at 1 when the code is run again.
I expected all values to be the same when de serailized as those in the last object in the arrayList before serialization.
I dont expect anyone to post the answer but if someone could point me in the right direction i could try to work it out myself.
Best regards
Richard
PS. transaction number is the first in the object, balance in the middle and student number the four digits at the end. I have added the main class and serialization class, if anyone wants to see the login, transaction or other classes i can post these too.
