How do I get rid of the JFrame within another frame?

Question

I will try to be really specific with my question.So I have an application in a JFrame which contains 3 buttons and each of them open another JFrame and they are doing some animation inside.So what i have to do is close just one frame but not the main frame with it.And in this 3 frames there is SwingWorker who is processing some data,so when I close specific frame I want this application to stop and not doing in a background.

And where is your question? Do you want to know, how to stop a `SwingWorker`? — Sergiy Medvynskyy, Aug 03 '17 at 13:19
How do I close a frame and stop the application in the second one, without closing the main one? — Jan, Aug 03 '17 at 13:23

You can add an actionListerner on the click of the button..Once the button is clicked you set the visibility of a specific frame to false the user the dispose function on that specific frame and cancel its background activities

like below

cancelbtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            frame1.setVisible(false);
            frame1.dispose();
