    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int rows = 10;
        int cols = 10;
        BattleShip newbattleship = new BattleShip(rows, cols );
        //newbattleship =("This my title");
        //newbattleship.setSize (400, 300);
       // newbattleship.setLocationRelativeTo (null);
        newbattleship.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        newbattleship.pack();
        newbattleship.setVisible(true);
    }
    public BattleShip (int rows, int cols) 
    {
     Container pane = getContentPane();
        pane.setLayout(new GridLayout(rows, cols));
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
          JButton button = new JButton(Integer.toString(i + 1));
          pane.add(button);
        }
    }

}

You could store your button references in a 10x10 array (or a 100 element array) as you create them.

The code I show above is running and display on 100 botton. Now I need to access to it and assign thing in it. For example I write something in 85 botton. When I click 85 it will show that the information I put it in early.

hmmm why bothering with, most of Object in Java APIs has historical artifacts from the distant past - public final void putClientProperty(Object key, Object value)

then (for/grom Swing rellated APIs)

in the loop

buttons[i][j].putClientProperty("column", i);
buttons[i][j].putClientProperty("row", j);
buttons[i][j].addActionListener(new MyActionListener());

and to get value from ActionListener (for example)

public class MyActionListener implements ActionListener {

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        JButton btn = (JButton) e.getSource();
        System.out.println("clicked column " + btn.getClientProperty("column")
                + ", row " + btn.getClientProperty("row"));
}

excelent, short, simple (it should be) with lambdas in Java8

to OP - let i want to access 95 botton how can i do that?

• use JToggleButtons instead

• use GridLayout

[JamesCherrill]

Yes, I also would use client properties to identify the button that was clicked, or maybe an action listener that takes a button number in its constructor.
The array suggestion was to answer "i want to access button 95", as opposed to "i want to handle a click in button 95". Maybe its just got lost in translation :)

[My_1]

I still don't understand how does the action listener know which number have been hit?

[My_1]

Let say #43 contain $23 and #90 contain $57….……… and user pass #90 it should display $57 not $23 how does AL know that. Should I have a for loop to loop the number? 0 to 100? I am new GUI sorry

short answer

read Oracle tutorials about how to use AtctionListener and JButton too

long answer

have to test whats happens

[JamesCherrill]

Use the client property (see mKorbel's code for an example) to store the $23 or whatever in each button. Then in your action listener you can retrieve that (see mKorbel's code for an example).
