Java problem with layout.

What I am trying to make is simple dial pad on the cellphone with a textfield in the north region( top)

But in my cause it just puts textfields next to the numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT FOR THIS CLASS TO BE OVER, BECAUSE I HONESTLY CANT STAND JAVA GUI

ublic class Calc extends JFrame

{

private final int WIDTH = 250;

private final int HEIGHT =250;

JTextField inputText;

JButton button1;

JButton button2;

JButton button3;

JButton button4;

JButton button5;

JButton button6;

JButton button7;

JButton button8;

JButton button9;

JButton button0;

JButton buttonStar;

JButton buttonPound;

JButton buttonClear;

JButton buttonCalc;

public Calc()

{

setTitle("Phone");

setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setLayout(new GridLayout(4,3));

inputText = new JTextField();

add(inputText,BorderLayout.NORTH);

button1 = new JButton("1");

add(button1);

button2 = new JButton("2");

add(button2);

button3 = new JButton("3");

add(button3);

button4 = new JButton("4");

add(button4);

button5 = new JButton("5");

add(button5);

button6 = new JButton("6");

add(button6);

button7 = new JButton("7");

add(button7);

button8 = new JButton("8");

add(button8);

button9 = new JButton("9");

add(button9);

button0 = new JButton("0");

add(button0);

buttonStar = new JButton("*");

add(buttonStar);

buttonPound = new JButton("#");

add(buttonPound);

buttonClear = new JButton("Clear");

add(buttonClear);

buttonCalc = new JButton("Call");

add(buttonCalc);

setVisible(true);

}

I've only got time right now for a quick answer but what I'd do with this sort of question is to quickly build the interface for the application using the visual designer of whatever IDE you're using.

You can then take a look at the generated code and reproduce it (in a simplified way) in your own 'manually built' application which will save you a lot of head-scratching on how stuff should be laid out.
