Add action to a JButton created by another JButton

Question

I have a Jbutton that when pressed creates another button and the new button is added to the panel. How to I add an actionListener to the new button?

For example:

Answer 1

One way would be to have a inner class containg the listener:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
  {
    if (event.getSource() == button)
    {
      JButton newButton = new JButton("ahah");
      newButton.addMouseListener(new yourListener());
    }
   }  

//add this class as a inner class
   public class aListener extends MouseAdapter
   { 
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
      {
         JButton buttonReference=(JButton)e.getSource(); // you want this since hardcoding the name of the button is bad if you want listeners for more then one button
         buttonReference.setText("lala");
      }
    }

This will create a instance of yourListener, and add that to the button when you click it
