So I have this following code to make a quiz program. The code i'm using extends JDialog. I was wondering if there's a way to convert it to JPanel since when i try to run the code the window is all small and i can't seem to move the finished button next to the "Next" button. Also If i want to make the question be random how would one do that?
Thank You

Updated with new edits
After i edited and tried to convert it into JPanel and using cardlayout like suggested I ran into a few error and can't seem to figure out how to get the String[] possibleanswer and string correctanswer to display for the system to know and match the correct answer. here are my updated code
