Find index in an array of components

Question

I have an array of JButtons. Each JButton has an associated ActionListener. My problem is that when one of the buttons are clicked I need the index of the JButton that is clicked to do work inside the Actionlistener.
How do I get the index of the JButton being pressed?
JButton[ ] button = new JButton[300];
for(int i = 0 ; i < 300 ; i++)
button[i] = new JButton(("Test " + i));
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
/** I need to know what the value of i is when this button is pressed **/

Answer 1

I would think that you could just use the variable i from the loop, like this:
JButton buttonArray = new JButton[300];
JButton button;
for(int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
  button = new JButton("Test"+i);
  button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      int index = i; // here index is the index of the JButton chosen
hope this helps!
  buttonArray[i] = button;
