java - How to get items from JList in the order they are selected? -

i have jlist multiple_interval_selection enabled , i'd pass order in items selected process.

i've tried using mouselistener on jlist , checking if getclickcount() == 1 add array, however, not add new items below selected item, adds items above selected item in jlist.

for example if list looks this:

1

2

3

4

5

if click number 1 first, below code show 1 every subsequent click. if click 3 first , click 5 number pops 3. if click 3 , click 2 or 1, numbers popup correctly.

so never part of adding data array because cannot data display based action correctly.

here sample code listener:

private class listboxlistener implements listselectionlistener, mouselistener {        @override       public void valuechanged(listselectionevent e) {           if(e.getsource().equals(alist)) {              system.out.println(alist.getselectedvalue());          }       }        @override       public void mouseclicked(mouseevent arg0) {          // todo auto-generated method stub          if(arg0.getclickcount() == 1) {             joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null, alist.getselectedvalue());          }       } } 

is there glaringly wrong i'm trying do?

you should try code

    jframe frame = new jframe("jlist test");     frame.setlayout(new flowlayout());     frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close);     frame.setlocationrelativeto(null);     string[] selections = {"java", "c++", "c", "scala", "javascript"};     jlist list = new jlist(selections);     frame.add(new jscrollpane(list));     frame.pack();     frame.setvisible(true);      mouselistener mouselistener = new mouseadapter() {         @override         public void mouseclicked(mouseevent mouseevent) {              if (mouseevent.getclickcount() == 1) {                 int index = list.locationtoindex(mouseevent.getpoint());                 if (index >= 0) {                     object obj = list.getmodel().getelementat(index);                     joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null, obj);                  }             }         }     };     list.addmouselistener(mouselistener);  }
