Adjacency Graphs and Breath First Search

I have been working on this program for a while, and other ones too. I put it down for a little bit and decided to tackle it again. I found where I am having the issue. It is not a syntax issue rather as it is implementation. I know how to create a Graph, much like:

Java Code:

//just an example
int i,j;
adj[i++][j++]= true;
adj[j++][i++]=true;

I am trying to make GUI of BFS in action. There is a starting position where a Jbutton is selected to green, and end position where a JButton is selected to Red and barriers which are yellow. The object is to find the shortest path from the starting position to the ending position while going around the barriers. BFS will search level by level of the graph.

I did not create a graph just a 2D matrix buttons and the issue I am having is if I implement my adj[i++][j++] concept eventually all the buttons will be set to true and I will be having the same issue. My main question is I need some advice on creating a graph via a 2D matrix of JButtons so that I can traverse them it with the following code.

Java Code:

//Breath First Search. The first node passed to it is the start button
        void bfs(Mybuttons button){
                Queue<Mybuttons> q = new LinkedList<Mybuttons>();
                q.add(button);
                button.setIcon(button.setButtonToBlueWhileSearched());
                button.model.visited=true;
                Mybuttons child = null;

                while(!q.isEmpty()){
                        System.out.println("In while loop");
                        Mybuttons b = (Mybuttons)q.remove();
                        
                        if(b.model.getTargetNode()==true){
                                System.out.println("Found it");
                                break;
                        }       
                        b.setIcon(button.setButtonToBlueWhileSearched());
                        
                        while((child=getUnvisitedChildNode(b))!=null){
                                child.model.visited=true;
                                //turn child to a color here or print a value
                                q.add(child);
                                System.out.println("In second while loop");
                                
                                }
                        
                }
                
        }

Java Code:

private Mybuttons getUnvisitedChildNode(GraphMethods g){
                
                int x= g.getxCoordinate();
                //int y= g.getyCoordinate();
                int j=0;
                
                        System.out.println("In get Child Node");
                        
                        for(int i=x; i<model.arraySize();i++,j++){
                                
                                if(view.matrixBtn[x][j].model.getVisited()==false && 
                                        view.matrixBtn[x][j].model.getBarrier()==false &&
                                        view.matrixBtn[x][j].model.getTargetNode()==false){
                                                                
                                         view.matrixBtn[x][j].model.setVisited(true);
                                         view.matrixBtn[x][j].setButtonToBlueWhileSearched();
                                         System.out.println("in if statement");
                                         return view.matrixBtn[x][j];
                                }
                                         //if target node is found while in target node stop
                                         //searching
                                         if(view.matrixBtn[x][j].model.getTargetNode()==true){
                                                        System.out.println("Found it");
                                                        break;
                                                }
                                                                
                                         System.out.println("leaving Child Node");
                        }
                        
                return null;
        }

This is how I am creating the matrix in the View Class:

Java Code:

 

JPanel matrixPan(){
                matrixBtn = new Mybuttons[25][25];
                JPanel panel = new JPanel();
                panel.setSize(550,550); 
                panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(25,25));
                //creating a 25x25 matrix of buttons
                for(int i=0; i<model.arraySize(); i++){
                        for(int j=0;j<model.arraySize();j++)
                        {       
                                //use myButtons to create the matrix of buttons
                                panel.add(matrixBtn[i][j] = new Mybuttons());
                                matrixBtn[i][j].setxCoordinate(i);
                                matrixBtn[i][j].setyCoordinate(j);
                                //setting the size of the matrix
                                size++;
                        }
                }
                System.out.println("Size in view "+size);
                model.setSize(size);
                panel.setVisible(true);

                return panel;
        }

I hope I was not confusing with my questions.
