How to make a queue with ActionListener

Question

Have a problem making battleship game. I created 2 panels with game decks for player and opponent. enter image description here When i click on opponents tile and miss i want programm to choose random tile on player deck and make a move.

All opponents deck buttons placed inside List of button. I use actionlistener for opponents deck Program choose random tile on player deck

1. Action listener for amount of button placed on deck

public void buttonPress(){
        OpponentDeckGUI odGUI = new OpponentDeckGUI();
        PlayerDeckAggregator pda = new PlayerDeckAggregator();
        ArrayList<JButton> localList = new ArrayList<>();
        for(JButton button : odGUI.getOpponentCommonButtonList()){
            button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                @Override
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    if(odGUI.getOpponentPinkButtonList().contains(button)){
                        button.setBackground(Color.PINK);
                    }else{
                        button.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
                    }
                    localList.add(button);
                }
            });
            odGUI.getOpponentPinkButtonList().remove(button);
        }
    }

2. method that choose random tile on player deck and check if move was right

 public void randomChooser(){
        PlayerDeckCreationListener pdcl = new PlayerDeckCreationListener();
        PlayerDeckGUI pdGUI = new PlayerDeckGUI();
        int randomTile = (int) (Math.random()*pdGUI.getPlayerCommonButtonList().size());
        JButton localButton = pdGUI.getPlayerCommonButtonList().get(randomTile);
        if(pdcl.getPlayerDeckList().contains(localButton)){
            localButton.setBackground(Color.RED);
        }
        else {
            localButton.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
        }
        pdGUI.getPlayerCommonButtonList().remove(localButton);
    }

give me advise, how to make a queue work when i click button on opponents deck and get a response on player deck.

Answer 1

Found solution. I placed method that starts when i click and dont get on opponents boat inside actionPerformed part.

public void buttonListCreator(){
    OpponentDeckGUI odGUI = new OpponentDeckGUI();
    for(JButton button : odGUI.getOpponentCommonButtonList()){
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                if(odGUI.getOpponentPinkButtonList().contains(button)){
                    button.setBackground(Color.PINK);
                }
                else{
                    button.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
                        PlayerDeckAggregator pda = new PlayerDeckAggregator();
                        pda.randomChooser();
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

So now, when i click on opponens deck and miss, i get program turn to check tile on players deck.
