Call the setText ("&quot method of whatever u want to clear ...

To do this by means of a button you need to add an action listener to the button in question, and in the listner's actionPerformed method you would cycle through all the text fields and call it's setText() method passing either an empty ("&quot String or null. The Empty string would be best. See the example below:

JTextField textFieldOne   = new JTextField();
JTextField textFieldTwo   = new JTextField();
JTextField textFieldThree = new JTextField();
JTextField textFieldFour  = new JTextField();
JButton    clearButton    = new JButton("Clear");

clearButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
  {
    textFieldOne.setText("");
    textFieldTwo.setText("");
    textFieldThree.setText("");
    textFieldFour.setText("");
  }
});

If your text fields are dynamic, then you could store references to them in an ArrayList, and then just loop through them in the actionPerformed method with a "for" loop.

I hope this helps...
