Pass the name of a button into existing instance of a class from actionlist

Question

I want to pass a name of a button from actionlistener that is associated with that button into existing instance of a class. I need to do so because I have array of buttons and I have set the name of the buttons as coordinates. Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

My buttons are declared as JButton arrayOfButtons[][] = new JButton[numberOfRows][numberOfColumns];and I labeled them inside 2 for loops as:
arrayOfButtons[row][column].setName(Integer.toString(row) + " " + Integer.toString(column));
arrayOfButtons[row][column].setText("Some displayed text");I also added ActionListener
arrayOfButtons[row][column].addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        System.out.println(((JButton)e.getSource()).getName());
});Now when I press a button it only displays the array coordinates on a command line. I want the class instance where I declared the buttons to get notified which button was clicked.
