JButton with ActionListener?

[scheppy]

Hi all

I'm wondering how i add Action listener to this Button
It has no text, just an image, from an ImageIcon
I tried I3 for the action listener but i doesant work

ImageIcon I3;

I3 = new ImageIcon ("carrier.gif");

J1 = new JButton (I3);
J1.addActionListener (this);
J1.setBounds (420, 196, 150, 25);
infoPane.add (J1);

check this just to be sure you did it correctly:http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/actionlistener.html

i once wrote an app that had a image as a button except i didnt use a jButton, i used a label and then added an action listener to that... hope this helps

if not here's a link i found try this:http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-JButton.html

so It didn't really help, thanks anyway

try looking at my 2nd link, and if not then why not just use a label and add an actionlistener to that?

I did look at second link, and doesant matter what i use, how would i add actionlister

becouse this doesant work

if (event.equals (I3))
        {
            Boattype = "Carrier";
        }

All my other Buttons work becouse they have text
like so

B1 = new JButton ("Play");
        B1.setFont (new Font ("Arial", Font.BOLD, 18));
        B1.setBorder (compound);
        B1.setOpaque (false);
        B1.setBounds (400, 140, 200, 30);
        B1.addActionListener (this);
        infoPane.add (B1);

and then i would add it to action listener like so

if (event.equals ("Play"))
        {
            try
            {
                InputStream b = new FileInputStream ("Bomb.wav");
                bomb = new AudioStream (b);
            }
            catch (java.io.IOException z)  //catching the exception
            {
            }

            AudioPlayer.player.start (bomb); //as soon as Button is clicked
            Play ();
        }

Just i dont know what to put it to listen for, becouse their is no text, just a picture
which is I3 as seen in my first post
and I3 doesant respond

why not try:

if (event.equals ("J1")){}

use the buttons actual name and not the text. I had the source of a program like that but i cant find it now, but it worked on the buttons name and not the text set to the button.check this maybe:http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Button.html#setActionCommand(java.lang.String) especially setActionCommand()

Read my edited post use the link. look here:

Button b = new Button("Click me");
                add(b);
                add(text);
                b.addActionListener(this);
                b.setActionCommand("J1");
//in actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {} you would put this
if(e.getActionCommand().equals("J1")){System.out.println("J1 pressed");}

now we manually set an actioncommand for the button i just tested this myself it should work no problems
