Passing Arguments to ActionListener

Question

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent aL) {
      method(arguments);

    }
  }

method(arguments) {
   //stuff
}
<         


        

Answer 1

You can pass the arguments by constructor. But of course it means with this way you can pass the arguments only when creating the ActionListener.

public class Start implements ActionListener {

    SomeType arguments;
    public Start (SomeType arguments) {
         this.arguments = arguments;
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent aL) {
        method(arguments);    
    }
}
