JTable addRow does not work with an actionListner

I'm basically building a simple GUI for a simple baking program.
The problem is that after creating a model for JTable, adding a row of data
model.addRow(new String[] {"data", "data","data", "data"});
does not work inside of an actionlistener:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
String buttonText = event.getActionCommand();
if (buttonText.equals("Create Savings Account")) {
createSavingsAccount();
public void createCreditAccount() {
logic.createCreditAccount(pNrField.getText());
model.addRow(new String[] {"data", "data","data", "data"});
}
If I try to create an account I get this message:

You have "shadowed variables".
You try to define instance variables but they are null:
private DefaultTableModel model;
private DefaultTableModel model1;
And then you create a local variable which is not null
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(0, 0);
...
DefaultTableModel model1 = new DefaultTableModel(0, 0);
The ActionListener can only access the instance variable but it is null so you get a NPE.
Get rid of the local variables:
model = new DefaultTableModel(0, 0);
...
model1 = new DefaultTableModel(0, 0);

I want to create an application which chooses the number to be guessed by selecting an integer at random in the range 1-1000.The application then displays the following in a label: I have a number between 1-1000.Can you guess my number?Please enter your first guess. As each guess is input,the background color should change to either red or blue.Red indicates that the user is getting "warmer" ,and blue,"colder".

you forgot numberText = new JTextField();. You need to initialize a reference-variable before you can use it.

Why does MouseListener on JTableHeader throw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException?

I'm just starting out with swing, but I've been stuck on this issue for about a week and I've tried everything I can think. I'm trying to update the table model as the result of a click on a column header and getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
I've simplified the code here, but can someone please explain why this:
package gradebook.model.courseTable;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class CourseTableTest extends JTable {
public static void main(String[] args){
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(new JScrollPane(new CourseTable()));
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
}
});
}
public CourseTableTest(){
super(3, 3);
this.tableHeader.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
setModel(new DefaultTableModel(3, 3));
}
});
}
}
throws this when clicked?:

Edit
Some of you have asked why I would change the model during a click of the column header. In my application, the table columns represent a school assignment. When the header is clicked it opens a dialog box that allows the user to either modify or delete the assignment. If the user clicks delete I would like to remove the column from the table. But any time I try to change the table structure within the click handler I get this error.

The MouseListener must be doing some processing and doesn't like you changing the data in the middle of the processing.
Try:
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
setModel(new DefaultTableModel(3, 3));
}
});
This will let the MouseListener code finish executing before you change the model.
The real question is why would you change the model when you click on the header?
Edit:
As noted by MadProgrammer the first suggestion doesn't work.
As another hack if you are just trying to clear the data in the model you can use:
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
{
model.setRowCount(0);
model.setRowCount(3);
}
If you want a table with a completely different structure then I would suggest you do something like:
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
{
scrollPane.setViewportView( new JTable(4, 4) );
}

Sorted JTable's data refresh gives exception in java : Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

I try to make Test code about JTable input and refresh.
Insert and delete is working well,
but if I delete or insert data after sort the table, it make's exception:

Whenever you change your model vector directly, make sure to notify the container about this. You fail to do that in the following method:
private void delete(){
DefaultTableModel tmp = modelTest;
tmp.getDataVector().removeAllElements();
tableTest.repaint();
}
After the removeAllElements() you should call tmp.fireTableDataChanged(). Something like:
private void delete(){
DefaultTableModel tmp = modelTest;
tmp.getDataVector().removeAllElements();
tmp.fireTableDataChanged();
tableTest.repaint();
}
Reason: Changes directly to the Model's underlying data vector are not automatically propagated to the View. You are changing a Vector this way, not a Model. Changes to the Model are propagated to the View. Your calls to Model.addRow() inform the View that a row was added. Your Vector.removeAllElements() call is not informed to the View so after that call View and Model are out of sync (that is, if they weren't both empty before). The call to Model.fireTableDataChanged informs the View that the whole table data in the Model has changed. After this call they are in sync again. When Model and View are out of sync, you can expect ArrayOutOfBoundException's to occur e.g. during sorting.

I also had this problem recently - a NullPointerException caused by DefaultRowSorter.getViewToModelAsInts.
The problem for me is that I was trying to directly update the GUI when an exception was thrown in SwingWorker's doInBackground() method. I found the exact solution to my particular problem here. Maybe that will help you or at least point you in the right direction as I wouldn't be surprised if your problem was because you are trying to manipulate the GUI from the wrong thread.

Java Swing: Error when dynamically adding JScrollpane to JPanel

Update: If I move the code to be within the mouseclick event (i.e. instead of calling initMarksScreen() I just put the code directly in) it works as expected. So my problem is calling the code in its own method. Does this mean if I want to perform the same steps at another point or on a different button that I have to have the code directly in there instead of in a method I can call?
I am fairly new to Java and trying to create a button that adds a JScrollPane which contains a JTable.
It is called by:
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
initMarksScreen();
}
The code is:
public final void initMarksScreen() {
String[] columnNames = {"Student ID",
"Last Name",
"Firstname",
"Status",
"Degree",
"Candidate No.",
"Stage",
"Year",
"Code",
"Title",
"Grade Mode",
"Mark",
"Result"};
Object[][] data = {
{"100123456", "Cooper","Sheldon", "Signed Up", "BSc Physics","1201234","1","12","PH1001","Blackholes and Revelations","D",new Integer(99),"P"},
{"100123456", "Cooper","Sheldon", "Signed Up", "BSc Physics","1201234","1","12","PH1025","Astrophysics","D",new Integer(95),"P"}
};
JTable tMarks = new JTable(data, columnNames);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tMarks);
tMarks.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
panelCentral.add(scrollPane); --!!ERROR AT THIS LINE!!
panelCentral.revalidate();
}
The panel is declared as:
private static final Container panelCentral = null;
As I'm quite new to Java I imagine there is an easy fix but if I need to add an SSCCE.
Everything displays fine until I click the button then the error I get is:

if panelCentral is JPanel and its not initialized, initialize before add
panelCentral = new JPanel();
panelCentral.add(scrollPane);
