Trying to add ActionListener to JButtons

Question

I cannot figure out how to add Actionlisteners to the JButtons, any help would be much appreciated.

public class Translator extends         


        

Answer 1

JButton button = new JButton("Button");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        //To-Do
        //Button clicked
        });

Hope this helps, it's relatively simple! You just need to add an ActionListener to your desired JButton

To give you a broader idea of how to implement it in a case-scenario where I would like to run a new GUI frame after pressing a button:

startNewFrame.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            System.out.println("Starting new frame");
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    NewFrame newFrame = new NewFrame();
                    newFrame.setVisible(true);
                    dispose();//Disposes of current frame
                }
            });
        }
    });
