Is there anyway to set an id for a JButton. I'm used to it in Android.
I'm looking for something like the following:
newButton.setId(objectcounter);
Answer
There is a property name which you could use:
newButton.setName(String.valueOf(objectCounter))
alternatively, you could use clientProperties which lets you store arbitrary values:
newButton.putClientProperty("id", Integer.valueOf(objectCounter))
To fetch the value from the client property map you'll need something like this.
Object property = newButton.getClientProperty("id");
if (property instanceof Integer) {
int objectCounter = ((Integer)property);
// do stuff
}
