Learn Java Tutorial 1.34- ActionListener and JOptionPane

In this Java tutorial we will learn how to add an action to a button. To do this, we need to add an actionlistener to the button. Once we add the action listener, we at the method to actionlistener that we want to perform. Within that method is where we will then create a new window (or an OptionPane) to appear.

don't judge the video by the crazy 3 minute intro example - sometimes it's the crazy analogies that help teach and stick in your head. This guy does a great job explaining.

[@bishawjitkumardey2075]

I have seen the videos of bucky roberts on java and his videos draw the most attention in youtube. He is good at explaining basic things but when things become complex he doesnt seem to analyze things in greater details like you do.I am a newbie and I understood the constructor stuff only after i saw your video. Thank you so much for your great effort. May God bless you abundantly.

[@thequickscopingcritic3170]

These tutorials are so great that I cant wait to learn it all! You are a very good teacher! You make me enjoy learning Java, which motivates me to learn more! :D

[@candyshaffer5572]

"The baby we left in the corn field..." Weirdest line in a java tutorial ever. Winner!

[@Marcin2418]

Best Java tutorials on KZbin!

[@thebuizelclub]

thanks so much, I could not figure out how to implement it without creating a new java class until this video :)

[@satanic_rosa]

That farming story helped me understand everything! Awesome!

[@chuckwolf3221]

Great job on all of them. keep up the good work!

[@ums1002]

The way Travis describes things is great haha...

[@doucheNblue]

hahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing for the first 3 minutes. And I like how at around 1:55 he says, "now if this story sounds kinda familiar". This hardly seems like it would be a familiar situation to people.

[@millicentotchere4230]

[@JeffDutcher]

Awesome Story analogy

[@elvischesschamp]

How do you extract the input of a users textfield onto a node? I use nodes for my loops. I want to be able to have the user input words into 6 lines. And extract those lines onto my nodes.

[@maccardi4431]
