How to handle dynamic JMenuItem's actionListener??

Question

I want to implement a function like "Recent File" in "File" menu.
But I don't know how to handle their actionListener?
for (int i=0; i<count; i++)
JMenuItem miNode = new JMenuItem(fileName);
mnuFile.add(miNode);
miNode.addActionListener(...) ///// ----- ????????
}

Answer 1

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    final String fileName = ... // the i-th file name
    JMenuItem miNode = new JMenuItem(fileName);
    mnuFile.add(miNode);
    miNode.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            // do whatever you want using "fileName" variable
            System.out.println("You have selected the '" + fileName + "' file.");
}Alternatively you can create one ActionListener and add it to all menu items. When event is fired you can use ActionEvent.getActionCommand() - it will return the text of the JMenuItem (the file name on your case) that caused the event provided that you set only JMenuItem text (as you do in your example).
