How to add multiple ActionListeners for multiple buttons in Java Swing

Question

I know how to create one button and an Action Listener for it. But I want to have several buttons and actionListeners for them doing separate actions unrelated to each other.

Example:

protected JButton x;

x = new JButton("add");
x.addActionListener(this);

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { //code.....}

Now I want to have other buttons which may hav different functions like subtract, multiply etc. please suggest. thanks

Answer 1

What about:

    JButton addButton = new JButton( new AbstractAction("add") {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
            // add Action
        }
    });

    JButton substractButton = new JButton( new AbstractAction("substract") { 
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
            // substract Action
        }
    });

Answer 2

Use inner classes:

x = new JButton("add"); 
x.addActionListener(
  new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      //your code here
    }
  }
);
