Thread: Need help with buttons

Hello! My name is Joel and is kinda new to java programming. I got a problem. I want to make 4 buttons on a Panel that has 4 different timers. When i press the first one i want it to take 5 minutes and then pop up a screen with a text like this "Your eggs are ready". And i want different timers on all of the buttons. I did succed with one button but cant figure out how i can add listeners to any more buttons. And how do i add delay in a while loop?

package bluered.timer;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import sun.audio.*;
import static javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
 
 
public class BlueRedTimer {
 
 
    public static void main(String args[]) {
 
 
 
       JFrame frame=new JFrame("Test");
		frame.setVisible(true);
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.setSize(300,80);
		JPanel panel=new JPanel();
		frame.add(panel);
		JButton button=new JButton("Timer1");
		JButton button2=new JButton("Timer2");
		JButton button3=new JButton("Timer3");
		JButton button4=new JButton("Timer4");
		panel.add(button);
		panel.add(button2);
		panel.add(button3);
		panel.add(button4);
		button.addActionListener(new Action());
                button2.addActionListener(new Action());
 
 
    }
 
     static class Action implements ActionListener   {
 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            int Blue=300;   //I want the "blue" timer to be set at 5 minutes. So when i press button timer1 it will start a countdown of 5 minutes and then a screen pops up. 
           while (Blue>0){
           Blue--;
           System.out.println(Blue);
 
           }
           if (Blue==0){
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Timer one is ready!");}   
        }
    }}

Thanks for the replies! Have a nice day!

how come instead of making the class action you dont just do button.addActionListener(this); etc then use the getsource() method in the actionPerformed method to see which button got clicked?

How do i do that? :O

in your actionPerformed method make an object

Object source = e.getSource();

then do some if statements using that object to determine which button is clicked ad inside the if statements put the code that should run when each button is clicked

since you have all your frame stuff in the main method then just keep everything how you have it and just make the object in the actionperformed method etc
