I have created the buttons for on-screen keyboard. The only thing I don't know is how to add the corresponding letter/character via actionListener to the jTextField. I know if it was not jTextField I could use "append".

if(e.getSource() == aButton) { //get text already in your text field //add a to that //put text back in text field }
