Is there any way to use ListSelectionListener or MouseAdapter to get information about selected value (if value is a String for example), is there any built-in method for that?
I only know how to get proper indexes but not the content or content.toString()
I'm adding element like this:
{
DefaultListModel listModel;
listModel.addElement(name);
}
@Edit
Thank you for you for help.
I solved my problem by doing this (for future generations so they wouldn't need to search as I did):
list.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){ @Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println("Mouse click."); int index = list.getSelectedIndex(); System.out.println("Index Selected: " + index); String s = (String) list.getSelectedValue(); System.out.println("Value Selected: " + s.toString()); } });
When using a
JList
you can simply use JList#getSelectedValue() which will return the actual object that is current selected.If you are doing this from within a
MouseListener
, it would be better to useJList#locationToIndex
and then get the value from theJList
using it's index
