FocusListener in Java Example

By Dinesh Thakur

When a component receives focus, ie, is the element of the screen that is active FocusEvent type events occur. 

To make an object can listen to events FocusEvent FocusListener type must implement the interface, and it must be added as to the method FocusListener

public void addFocusListener(FocusListener fl)
The methods of this interface are:
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
public void foculsLost(FocusEvent e)

Given the existence of temporary changes in focus (for example when using scroll bars associated with a TextArea, Choice List or component) or permanent (when you use the “Tab” key to navigate between components interface), the method is useful below:


Method

Description

isTemporary()

Determines whether the event focus change is temporary or permanent.
