JButton not clicking help!

[cyentw]

Sorry for having multiple problems posts, but a new problem came up.

How can I make an action be preformed when a button is clicked? Here is the code I tried:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{

if (e.getSource() == generateitemfile)
{


String fileName = "out.java";
PrintWriter outputStream;



try {
outputStream = new PrintWriter(fileName);

outputStream.println("import java.util.Random;");
outputStream.println("import java.util.Map;");
outputStream.flush();


makeitem.setVisible(false);
makeitem.dispose();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}





}
}


This is what should happen when the button is clicked. (Writes 'testing' to out.java then closes) but nothing happens.

Help!

First you need to make sure the actionPerformed method is being called. Add a println() first thing in the method and print out the e object that is passed to the method. It's useful to see what is printed.

Then print out the value of this: (e.getSource() == generateitemfile)
which needs to be true for the code to be executed.

You need to add the action listener to the JButton object.

JButton button = new JButton("Hello");
button.addActionListener(... your action listener goes here ...);
