So let´s just say I have 3 different ActionEvents and the class ExecuteAction should execute one of these event with the given integer action. Int action could be randomly generated or be given through a text field and all actionEvents should share the same Timer actionTimer.
Here´s a little concept of how I think it could work (It´s not a proper code, it´s just an idea).
public class ExecuteAction implements ActionListener{
private int action;
private Timer actionTimer = new Timer (delay, this);
public ExecuteAction(){
actionTimer.start();
actionChooser(action);
}
private void actionChooser(int action){
switch(action){
case 1: //perform ActionEvent1
break;
case 2: //perform ActionEvent2
break;
case 3: //perform ActionEvent3
break;
}
}
}
Unfortunatly I don´t know how to handle it with the ActionListener and that´s where basically my ideas for this concept end. I would appriciate you helping me out finishing this concept.
Note: I don´t want to use any buttons, just the number should decide what actionEvent will be executed.
Just use the core Java pseudorandom number generator, java.util.Random, within your code, and random actions can be performed. If you place it within a standard ActionListener, then this can be called from within your Swing Timer. For example:
// imports
public class TimerFoo {
private static final int TIMER_DELAY = 20; // or whatever delay desired
private static final int MAX_CHOICE = 3;
private ActionListener timerListener = new TimerListener();
private Timer actionTimer;
private Random random = new Random(); // import java.util.Random to use
public ExecuteAction() {
actionTimer = new Timer(TIMER_DELAY, () -> {
int randomChoice = random.nextInt(MAX_CHOICE);
switch (randomChoice) {
case 0:
// do code for 0;
return;
case 1:
// do code for 1;
return;
case 2:
// do code for 2;
return;
// don't need a default
}
});
}
public void start() {
actionTimer.start();
}
}
