In a Java Swing application, you can use an ActionListener
to listen for events such as the pressing of the Enter key.
Here's an example of how to add an ActionListener
to a JTextField
object that listens for the pressing of the Enter key:
JTextField textField = new JTextField(); textField.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { // Code to be executed when the Enter key is pressed } });
In this example, we're creating a new JTextField
object and then using the addActionListener
method to add an ActionListener
to the text field. The ActionListener
has an actionPerformed
method that is called when the Enter key is pressed while the text field has focus.
You can put any code you want to execute when the Enter key is pressed inside the actionPerformed
method. For example, you can use the getText
method of the JTextField
class to get the text entered by the user:
String text = textField.getText();
You can find more information about the JTextField
class and how to use it in Java Swing applications in the Java documentation.
