How to use keyListener properly in Java

问题

I am running into problems trying to use KeyListener in java.
I am trying to write a program that runs until a key is pressed, and then outputs that key.
This is a stepping stone to more elaborate code, so the use of a method to print the key pressed is just being used as a kind of prototype.

Here is the code:

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;

public class keylistener implements KeyListener{
    public keylistener(){
        addKeyListener(this);
    }

    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
        int key = e.getKeyCode();
        keylistener output = new keylistener();
        output.print(key);
    }

    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){}

    public void print(int key){
        System.out.println(key);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
    }
}

The program runs and then ends directly after.
I have never used KeyListener before, and I cannot figure out how to make the program wait for the key to be pressed.

The KeyListener is intended to be used in GUI apps, not in console apps as KeyListener requires GUI components to run. Usually in a console app you would use a BufferedReader and InputStreamReader.

Here is a console app that demonstrates the idea of using a while loop with the BufferedReader and InputStreamReader to keep the app running waiting for input. Although there are other ways to do this. I made this very explicit so you can grasp the concept.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;


public class StackStuff {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     boolean runs = true ;
     System.out.println("Press any key to kill this app...");
     while(runs){
          input =br.readLine();
         if (!(input==null)){
             System.out.println(input);
             runs=false;
          }
         }
     System.out.println("I am dead!!");
     System.exit(0); 

}

I don't think I've ever added a KeyListener to a console app, (probably because KeyListener is part of the AWT package, which mainly has GUI components), but here is a sample GUI app to demonstrate.

Your first problem, though, is that you should have added new keylistener() into your main method, though that has to be added to a component itself in order to be ran.

public class GuiMain extends JFrame { // A GUI Frame

    public GuiMain() {
        // Add the listener
        this.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() { 
            @Override
            public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
                super.keyPressed(e);
                // Print out the code
                System.out.println(e.getKeyCode());
            }
        });

        // Show something
        add(new JLabel("Hello World!"));
        pack();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Run the GUI
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                GuiMain gui = new GuiMain();
                gui.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

}
