Question

I want to use the first ActionListener (About) into the second ActionListener (About2)
without copying the first one into teh second one are there any way to do that?

About.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        @Override
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
          AboutMe.setLocation(470,250);
          AboutMe.setSize(400, 200);
          AboutMe.setVisible(true);
          AboutMe.setResizable(false);
          AboutMe.add(panel5);
          panel5.setLayout(null);
          panel5.add(ta);

         ta.setBounds(15, 15, 350, 130);
         ta.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
         ta.setText("...................................\n"
                 +  "....................................\n"
                 +  "....................................\n"
                 +  "....................................\n"
                 +  "....................................");
         ta.setEditable(false);
       }
       }
   );



About2.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        @Override
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

                  ////////code here///////////////
       }
       }
   );

Answer 1

Well as long as you’re not using the ActionEvent argument, you could just create a method like this in your class,

public void doAction() {
 AboutMe.setLocation(470,250);
          AboutMe.setSize(400, 200);
          AboutMe.setVisible(true);
          AboutMe.setResizable(false);
          AboutMe.add(panel5);
          panel5.setLayout(null);
          panel5.add(ta);

         ta.setBounds(15, 15, 350, 130);
         ta.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
         ta.setText("...................................\n"
                 +  "....................................\n"
                 +  "....................................\n"
                 +  "....................................\n"
                 +  "....................................");
         ta.setEditable(false);
}

and in your actionPerformed methods, just call

doAction();

So like this,

About.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        @Override
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
doAction();

   );
