Easiest is to make you list a member variable and use:<br />
<br />
public void &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;valueChanged(ListSelection<wbr />Event e)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;System.out.println(j.getSe<wbr />lectedItem<wbr />());<br />
}<br />

</div>


Easiest is to make you list a member variable and use:

public void       valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
{
   System.out.println(j.getSelectedItem());
}


<div>
or o/wise:<br />
<br />
public void &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;valueChanged(ListSelection<wbr />Event e)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; JList list = (JList) e.getSource();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; System.out.println(list.ge<wbr />tSelectedI<wbr />tem());<br />
}<br />

</div>

public void       valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
{
    JList list = (JList) e.getSource();
    System.out.println(list.getSelectedItem());
}

I use Eclipse. It says the method getSelectedItem()) is undifined for the type JList. <br />

Hi folks,<br />
<br />
I have a JList<br />
<br />
String[] name={......}<br />
JList j=new JList(name)<br />
How shall I do in the ListSelectionListener so that when I click one list item, Java will print that &quot;xxx (the name of the selected item) is selected&quot;<br />
<br />
thanks

JList question

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
