[@lequangnghi194]

Hi, I've been wondering, instead of "this", what else that I can put in the addActionListener(this) that will match the parameter?

[@programmer5834]

You can given parent component where you implement ActionListener . actually he using same class that why he use (this)
I hope you understand

[@spenzr6920]

im assuming u asked this cz u did that in the main method
in that case,
you need to construct an object of your class (idk how to say it sry my eng isnt good)
Here is my code, i hope u will get it
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class abc implements ActionListener {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Title");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(420,420);
frame.setLayout(null);
//Creating the Button
JButton button = new JButton("I am a button :D");
button.setBounds(0, 0, 150,69);
//creating an object of the class (idk how to say it lol sry but im sure yk of it)
abc abcObject = new abc();
//Using the object instead of this keyword
button.addActionListener(abcObject);

//There is also another way, i guess its called lambda expression
//This has no relation to the previous button we created earlier
JButton button2 = new JButton("2nd button");
button2.setBounds(69,69,100,69);
button2.addActionListener(e -> System.out.println("This action was performed using lambda expression"));


//adding button and making frame visible
frame.add(button);
frame.add(button2);
frame.setVisible(true);

}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

System.out.println("69420 ");

}
}

[@spenzr6920]

but i would recommend u doing the way he did in the tutorial. I think its simpler
there are probably more ways to do it, this one is simplest, u just have to use 'this' and its done

[@alexshepel5599]

Awesome, bro :)

[@zstar8397]

Hey hope you are doing alright just I wanna say that
GOD loved the world so much he sent his only begotten
son Jesus to die a brutal death for us so that we can have eternal life and we can all accept this amazing gift this by simply trusting in Jesus, confessing that GOD raised him from the dead, turning away from your sins and forming a relationship with GOD.
