JList selected item to String

Question

Could someone tell me how to get the selected item of JList to a String? It is a single selection JList.

Answer 1

private void jList1MouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {

    Object sel =null;

    int[] selectedIx = this.jList1.getSelectedIndices();      

    for (int i = 0; i < selectedIx.length; i++) {
        sel = jList1.getModel().getElementAt(selectedIx[i]);
    }

    System.out.println(sel);
}
