I want to create a number of JButtons which symbolize a specific time-intervall. All JButtons share basically the same actionListener: They mark their specific intervall as "free" ("Frei") or "not free" ("Belegt"). To do that, they not only just have to change text, but they have to call a method of another class, which uses their intervall as @parameter.
I create the JButtons with naming JLabels like this:
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfIntervalls; i++) {
String toolTextString;
if(controller.getCalendar(calendarName).isFree(i, controller.getDayString(year, month, day))) {
buttonText = "Frei";
toolTextString = "Belegt";
}else {
buttonText = "Belegt";
toolTextString = "Frei";
}
if(i%5 == 0) {
gridx = 1;
buttonGridy += 2;
textGridy += 2;
}else if(i < 5){
gridx = (i%5);
}else {
gridx = (i%5) + 1;
}
intervallButtons[i-1] = new JButton(buttonText);
intervallButtons[i-1].addActionListener((ActionListener) this);
intervallLabels[i-1] = new JLabel(intervallLabelBuilder(i));
intervallButtons[i-1].setToolTipText(String.format("als %s markieren", toolTextString));
GridBagConstraints gbc_btnNewButton = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc_btnNewButton.insets = new Insets(0, 0, 0, 5);
gbc_btnNewButton.gridx = gridx;
gbc_btnNewButton.gridy = buttonGridy;
contentPane.add(intervallButtons[i-1], gbc_btnNewButton);
GridBagConstraints gbc_labels = new GridBagConstraints();
//gbc_lblNewLabel.insets = new Insets(0, 0, 5, 5);
gbc_labels.gridx = gridx;
gbc_labels.gridy = textGridy;
contentPane.add(intervallLabels[i-1], gbc_labels);
}
}
my actionListener-method is this because I know that numberOfIntervalls = 12, for quik ajustments, the numberOfIntervalls should be a variable, but its static and final`:
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
System.out.println("-----------");
if(e.getSource() == intervallButtons[0]){
if(!controller.getCalendar(calendarName).isLoaded(controller.getDayString(year, month, day)))
controller.getCalendar(calendarName).summonDay(controller.getDayString(year, month, day));
if(controller.getCalendar(calendarName).isFree(1, controller.getDayString(year, month, day))) {
controller.getCalendar(calendarName).setFree(1, false, controller.getDayString(year, month, day));
buttonText = "Belegt";
intervallButtons[0].setToolTipText("Als Frei markieren");
}else {
controller.getCalendar(calendarName).setFree(1, true, controller.getDayString(year, month, day));
buttonText = "Frei";
intervallButtons[0].setToolTipText("Als Belegt markieren");

intervallButtons[0].setText(buttonText);
intervallButtons[0].setEnabled(false);
intervallButtons[0].setEnabled(true);

it's incredibly long and barely ajustable with just one variable, so all I want is following code standing in the creating for-loop:
if(!controller.getCalendar(calendarName).isLoaded(controller.getDayString(year, month, day)))
controller.getCalendar(calendarName).summonDay(controller.getDayString(year, month, day));
if(controller.getCalendar(calendarName).isFree(1, controller.getDayString(year, month, day))) {
controller.getCalendar(calendarName).setFree(i, false, controller.getDayString(year, month, day));
buttonText = "Belegt";
intervallButtons[i-1].setToolTipText("Als Frei markieren");
}else {
controller.getCalendar(calendarName).setFree(i, true, controller.getDayString(year, month, day));
buttonText = "Frei";
intervallButtons[i-1].setToolTipText("Als Belegt markieren");
}
intervallButtons[i-1].setText(buttonText);
intervallButtons[i-1].setEnabled(false);
intervallButtons[i-1].setEnabled(true);
but it doesn't work, because the actionListener can only handle non-local Variables...
Do you have any ideas?
and int i is different for every JButton, because it needs to be the int i from that for-loop.
One way is to set the "action command" for the button.
When you create the button you use:
JButton button = new JButton(...);
button.setActionCommand("" + i);
Then in the ActionListener you use:
int index = Integer.parseInt( event.getActionCommand() );
