Question

Haven’t been able to find a definite answer. I know that one button can have multiple listeners, but what about the inverse? Currently having an issue where the second button I have setup on a ButtonListener isn’t responding, and I’m wondering if that’s why. If what I was trying to do isn’t possible, how do you setup another ButtonListener?

As always, any assistance is appreciated.

Definitely you may use use single listener for one or more Buttons. For more inforation read tutorial pages : Writing Event Listeners
