Question

This is the code:

  String male = "Male";
  String female = "Female";

 JRadioButton checkGenderMale = new JRadioButton(male);
      checkGenderMale.addActionListener(new genderListener());

JRadioButton checkGenderFemale = new JRadioButton(female);
      checkGenderMale.addActionListener(new genderListener());

class genderListener implements ActionListener{
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
       System.out.println( );
   }
}

In the line System.out.println(); I would like the option (the Strings male or female which ever is selected) to print. So what might go in the parenthesis?

Answer 1

You need to write

AbstractButton aButton = (AbstractButton) actionEvent.getSource();
System.out.println("Selected: " + aButton.getText());

In your action performed method.
