I am trying to write a class that implements arraylist, but I will observe and repaint my gui whenever an element is added to the list, or removed from the list. Everything is syntactically right, but there seems to be a logic error in my code because I am getting a stackoverflowerror which leads me to believe that there is a recursive call somewhere that I am missing. The exact error is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError
at java.util.AbstractList.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.ArrayList.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.ArrayList.<init>(Unknown Source)
at Library.<init>(Library.java:45)
at LoanList.<init>(LoanList.java:14)
at Library.<init>(Library.java:47)
at LoanList.<init>(LoanList.java:14)
the actual code is around around 1k(1,000) lines so I will just post the bits that I think are to blame.

EDIT new repaint method
public void framePaint(){
Collections.sort(students,new studentComparator());
String result="";
for(int i=0;i<students.size();i++){
result += "\n" + students.get(i).toString() + "\n";
for(int j=0;j<loans.size();j++){
if(loans.get(j).getUid().equals(students.get(i).getUid())){
result += "Book ID: " + loans.get(j).getBookId() + "\n";
}
}
}
list.setText(result);
frame.repaint();
Comparator for reference
public class studentComparator implements Comparator<Student>{
@Override
public int compare(Student arg0, Student arg1) {
return arg0.getUid().compareTo(arg1.getUid());
}
}
GUI for frame i am trying to repaint
public void listStudents(){
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel,1));
list = new JTextArea("haha");
list.setEditable(false);
list.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
list.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
Collections.sort(students,new studentComparator());
String result="";
for(int i=0;i<students.size();i++){
result += "\n" + students.get(i).toString() + "\n";
for(int j=0;j<loans.size();j++){
if(loans.get(j).getUid().equals(students.get(i).getUid())){
result += "Book ID: " + loans.get(j).getBookId() + "\n";
}
}
}
list.setText(result);
panel.add(list);
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(panel);
frame.add(scroll);
frame.setResizable(true);
frame.setSize(300, 300);
Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
frame.setLocation(dim.width/2-frame.getSize().width/2, dim.height/2-frame.getSize().height/2);
frame.setVisible(true);
Loanand all the imports.
