If I have class A which extends JButton and implements ActionListener and it performs a certain default action. Then I have class B which extends class A and I want it to do the same action, plus something else. How do I go about extending the class A's actionPerformed method?
Class A:
class AButton extends JButton implements ActionListener {
AButton () {
addActionListener(this);
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent aEvent) {
methodA();
}
}
Class B:
class BButton extends AButton {
BButton () {
super();
addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent aEvent) {
methodB();
}
});
}
}
You can override methodA() rather than actionPerformed() call
protected void methodA() {
super.methodA();
//additional actions here
}
