I have a GUI class and another Event Handler class that implements the Listeners. In the GUI I have 2 buttons that listen to the controller class.
How do I make the keyPressed method of the management class identify which JButton is being pushed? Is that in the actionPerformed method I do it with getActionCommand and setActionCommand in each button of the GUI, but it only works with mouse clicks, however I do not know how it is with keyboard events.
Greetings.
What you can do to identify which key is pressed is a switch where you compare the code of the key in the following way:
@Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
switch(e.getKeyCode()){
case KeyEvent.VK_UP:
System.out.println("flecha de arriba");
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN:
System.out.println("flecha de abajo");
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT:
System.out.println("flecha de la derecha");
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT:
System.out.println("flecha de la izquierda");
break;
default:
System.out.println(e.getKeyCode());
break;
}
}
This is an example with the code of the arrows on the keyboard, if you want to obtain the one of a letter you can change the cases by one like this
case KeyEvent.VK_C
this is the case of the letter C for example, to do all this you must implement the keylistener interface
