©2000, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Horstmann/Java Essentials, 2/e Chapter 10: Event Handling 3 Event classes Event class (e.g. MouseEvent ). Contains information about the event (e.g. mouse location) Event listener. Knows what to do when the event occurs. Implements listener interface (e.g. MouseListener ) Event source. Keeps a list of listeners and notifies them when the event occurs

Horstmann/Java Essentials, 2/e 5 Chapter 10: Event Handling 5 Listening to mouse events MouseListener interface has 5 methods – void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) – void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) – void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) – void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) – void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)

Horstmann/Java Essentials, 2/e 6 Chapter 10: Event Handling 6 Spying on events class MouseSpy implements MouseListener { public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { System.out.println ("Mouse clicked. x=" + e.getX() + " y=" + e.getY()); } // same for other 4 listener methods }

©2000, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Horstmann/Java Essentials, 2/e 9 Chapter 10: Event Handling 9 Event Adapters Most mouse listeners only need one or two of the 5 listener methods Boring to redefine the others to do nothing MouseAdapter implements all 5 methods to do nothing. Extend MouseAdapter and just override the methods you need Other listener interfaces with > 1 method also have adapters

Horstmann/Java Essentials, 2/e 14 Chapter 10: Event Handling 14 Accessing outer class features Inner class has no egg instance variable Accesses outer class variable Inner class has no repaint method Calls outer class method On which EggApplet instance? The one that constructed the inner class object—the inner class object remembers who constructed it
