Show JLabel on JButton click

Question

I want to see Jlabel when my show JButton is clicked, but it doesn't work!

public class d5 extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

    JButton showButton;
    static JLabel[] lbl;
    JPanel panel;

    public d5() {

        showButton = new JButton("Show");
        showButton.addActionListener(this);
        add(showButton, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(400, 500);
        setLocation(300, 30);
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public JPanel mypanel() {
        panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
        lbl = recordsLabel();
        for (JLabel jLabel : lbl) {
            panel.add(jLabel);
        }
        return panel;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new d5();
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == showButton) {
            add(mypanel(), BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
            setVisible(true);
            System.out.println("show button clicked");
        }
    }

    public JLabel[] recordsLabel() {
        ArrayList<String> lableList = new ArrayList<>();
        lableList.add("one");
        lableList.add("two");
        lableList.add("three");
        Object[] arrayResultRow = lableList.toArray();

        int rows = 3;

        lbl = new JLabel[rows];
        for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
            lbl[i] = new JLabel(arrayResultRow[i].toString());
        }
        return lbl;
    }
}

As @nicecow comment you've already add(showButton, BorderLayout.PAGE_START); in the same location as the panel. Only one component you can add at same location.

Also it is not bad to call validate.

@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if (e.getSource() == showButton) {
        add(mypanel(), BorderLayout.PAGE_START); // set another position or remove previous component here
        validate(); 
        System.out.println("show button clicked");

    }
}

By the way i don't recommend implementing ActionListener in JFrame class, also you don't need to extend JFrame

public class D5 { 

private JFrame frame;

.
. // is some part in constrcutor
.
  showButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        @Override 
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
              frame.add(mypanel(),BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
              frame.validate();
         }
  })
}
