How do I make my code find out which button was pressed within a reasonable amount of time?

Question

Alright, this one is a bit of a doozy, its about 240 lines long, but on to my point. The point is that it doesn't work. I'm pretty new to coding in general and some help would be really appreciated. I know where the problem is, it's in the last bits of it in the for loops, I went under the false presumption that if you click a JButton, it is then selected. How do I implement the .setSelected method to my program without rewriting the entire code? This code is a make-shift jeopardy of sorts btw.

Answer 1

The problem is that you make the frame visible and then add your components. Instead, call setVisible() at the end of your constructor, after you pack() the frame.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ...
    pane.setBackground(Color.blue);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

Answer 2

try to create a new class for buttons

public class Response_Button extends JButton {

public Response_Button(final JPanel container, final String name) {
    this.setText(name);
    this.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(container, "clicked " + name);
        }
    });
}

like this each button will respond through it's own method

Answer 3

This is what fixes it:

if(event.getSource()== row1Buttons[j])

Yes, that makes it so that it will do all of the category in one fell swoop, but it doesn't matter. Thanks for all who tried and gave positive and helpful answers. EDIT: nope, it doesn't do it all in one go, I just labeled it wrong.
