Coding Java trouble shooting(GUI specifically)

[NanoNet]

As I was creating a very simple GUI, I wanted to create a JButton that when clicked(A "next" button), moves to a new "Page" or frame? So how would I go about doing this? Should I make it so when the button is clicked, the Current JFrame's visibility is false, and then set the new Frame to true? OR is there a better way to go about doing this?

Thanks for taking your time to read this :)

I would recommend working with Fragments- it is complicated at first but I made my Android app for CCG (https://www.cubecraftgames.net/threads/john-coles-can-i-make-an-app.38891/page-3) using it and it does this fine. I have multiple pages with different content and I can switch using a nav bar button.

Also android uses Java

I am not looking to make an app, I am making a GUI on my PC. I have no interest in making apps on phones.

It does not matter, use the same principle

As you're using JButton, I'm going to assume you're using Swing.
Set the panel's layout to CardLayout. When you add each panel you want to switch between, you do so with add(myPanel, "stringIdentifierForPanel");
Then, when the button is clicked, call layout.show(parentPanel, "stringIdentifierForPanel");
That would achieve what you're looking for, I believe.

I learn something new from you every time, thanks!
