Using multiple JButtons with the same label in Java

Question

I have two buttons in my project that both have a \"+\" label. When the actionPerformed() method is called, it calls a specific method based on the label. How can I distigui

Answer 1

Instead of this,

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
        String command = event.getActionCommand();
        if (command.equals("+")) {
            calcLifePoints(command);
        }
        if (command.equals("-")) {
            calcLifePoints(command);
        }
        if (command.equals(" + ")) {
            calcLifePoints(command);
        }
        if (command.equals(" - ")) {
            calcLifePoints(command);
        }

    }

Use like this,

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
        Object command = event.getSource();
        if (command.equals(keypadPlus1)) {
            calcLifePoints(event.getActionCommand());
        }
        if (command.equals(keypadMinus1)) {
            calcLifePoints(event.getActionCommand());
        }
        if (command.equals(keypadPlus2)) {
            calcLifePoints(event.getActionCommand());
        }
        if (command.equals(keypadMinus2)) {
            calcLifePoints(event.getActionCommand());
        }

    }
