How can I know when the key typed change my text? Or if the key is a char?
The interface KeyListener contain three methods:
void keyTyped(KeyEvent)
void keyPressed(KeyEvent)
void keyReleased(KeyEvent)
So, if you get the char in the KeyEvent object like:
if ("a".equals(KeyEvent.getKeyChar()))
System.out.println("It's a letter")
i guess you want to know wether typing a specific key actually prints a char or is some "invisible" control character or something:
in this case you can check the typed key in the KeyEvent which gets passed into the implemented methods of the KeyListener:
this quick example should work, although i didnt test it. It constructs a new String on the char returned by the KeyEvent, than invokes the length() method to chekc if the char created a readable character in the String. kinda hacky but i hope you get the gist of it
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke){
if (new String(ke.getKeyChar()).length() == 0){
// do something important...
}
}
alternativley you can use ke.getKeyCode()
and check vs the static fields in KeyEvent (VK_F12,VK_ENTER...)

You need a document listener. See the oracle docs for more information: How to Write a Document Listener
