I would like the user to enter a value into the JTextField
and use a listener to listen to the textfield and print the value to the console straightaway without pressing a key.
textfield1.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println(textfield1);
}
});
error:
<anonymous textfield$2> is not abstract and does not override abstract method stateChanged(ChangeEvent) in ChangeListener
Put this private class into your public class. Just like a method.
private class textChangedListener implements KeyListener
{
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
{
System.out.print(textField1.getText());
}
}
And then call it to your JTextField
in your main method like so:
private JTextField textField1; // just showing the name of the JTextField
textField1.addKeyListener(new textChangedListener());
