返回上一个JPanel

Question

I am trying to navigate back to a JPanel and was unsure of how to do this. Whenever I try to use the following

public class RemoveDE extends JPanel {

private JPanel DEadminhome;

public removeDE(){

setVisible(false);

parent.setContentPane(DEadminhome);

setLayout(null);

}                   
}                                                                   

I get error: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: adding container's parent to itself "

The snippet above is indicating removeDE is the current JPanel I am on and DEadminhome is the JPanel that I am attempting to navigate back to.

What would be the correct way of going about this? Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

Try using a Card Layout . It will help you manage which panel is visible from a group of panels.
