}

for (int i=0; i<AppList.size(); i++) {         <----- error
f = (FindDay)AppList.get();
  if (((f.getDate()).equals(daylist)) && 
                              ((f.getMonth()).equals(jcbMonth)) && 
                              ((f.getYear()).equals(jcbYear)) == true) {
             f.getDate(dayInput.getText());            <----- error
             f.getTime(timeInput.getText());           <----- error

Freya,
You can only debug what you can compile and run. It looks like you're having a problem with that first step. You may want to start by reading your compiler's error messages and fixing them based on the lines it gives you.

my compiler's error messages is :

D:\Java Project\AppointmentPage.java:249: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class AppList  
location: class AppointmentPage
AppList al = new AppList();
                ^

When the compiler says that it cannot resolve the symbol "AppList class", it means that it can't find a definition for the AppList class. You'll need to tell the compiler where it can find this class.
Do you have the AppList class somewhere? Is AppointmentPage in a package? Is AppList in a package? Is this something that you perhaps forgot to import?
