h is an event listener of type XXX
o.addXXX(h)
where XXX is one of the following:
ComponentListener
ActionListener
FocusListener

The ActionListener Interface


interface ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e);
}

Possible event sources


Button
List
TextField
MenuItem

Example
Hello

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestButtonAction {
public static void main(String[] args){
Frame f = new Frame("TestButton");
f.setSize(200,200);
Button hw = new Button("Hello World!");
f.add(hw);
hw.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
System.exit(0);
}
});
f.setVisible(true);
}
}

Example
Hello World (version 2)

class MyFrame extends Frame implements ActionListener {


Button hw;
public MyFrame(){
super("Test Button");
setSize(200,200);
hw = new Button("Hello World!");
add(hw);
hw.addActionListener(this);
show();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent o){
System.exit(0);
}
}

Example
Hello World (version 3)
class MyFrame extends Frame {
Button hw;
public MyFrame(){
super("Test Button");
setSize(200,200);
hw = new Button("Hello World!");
add(hw);
hw.addActionListener(new MyActionListener());
show();
class MyActionListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent o){
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
}

Revisit CardLayout
Flip Cards

MenuItem bp = new MenuItem("Flip to Button Panel");


bp.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
CardLayout layout = (CardLayout)f.getLayout();
layout.show(f,"ButtonPanel");
}
});

How to Use FileDialog?


Menu m1 = new Menu("File");
MenuItem open = new MenuItem("Open"); m1.add(open);
mb.add(m1);
final TextArea ta = new TextArea(10,10);
f.add(ta);

open.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
FileDialog dialog = new FileDialog(f, "Open File", FileDialog.LOAD)
dialog.show();
ta.append(dialog.getFile()+"\n");
}
});

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e){}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e){}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){}
}

Example
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestMouseListener {
public static void main(String[] args){
Frame f = new Frame("TestMouseListener");
f.setSize(500,500);
