Re: Create JButtons from array

Hi all

I'm writing a small program with a lot of buttons. To make it a little
easier to write the code I've tried to create the JButtons from an
array.

I don't work.

I don't get response from the ActionListener

Any ideas?

Simple example:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder;

public class ButtonPanel extends JPanel {
private Controller controller = new Controller();
private JButton btnOne, btnTwo, btnThree, btnABC, btnFour, btnFive,
btnSix, btnExtra1, btnSeven, btnEight, btnNine, btnExtra2, btnAsterix,
btnZero, btnHash, btnSearch;
private JButton[] buttons = { btnOne, btnTwo, btnThree, btnABC,
btnFour, btnFive, btnSix, btnExtra1, btnSeven, btnEight,
btnNine, btnExtra2, btnAsterix, btnZero, btnHash, btnSearch };
private String[] buttonTxt = { "1", "2", "3", "ABC", "4", "5", "6",
"Extra1", "7", "8", "9", "Extra2", "*", "0", "#", "SHg" };

public ButtonPanel() {
for (int i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
    buttons[i] = new JButton(buttonTxt[i]);
    buttons[i].setSize(80, 80);
    buttons[i].addActionListener(controller);
    this.add(buttons[i]);
    }
}

private class Controller implements ActionListener {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == btnOne) {
            System.out.println("test OK");
        }
    }
}
