java - how to identify a button in a group of loop generated buttons? -

i have group of loop generated buttons made code

this.panelcuerpo.setlayout(new gridlayout(4,5));     for(int = 1; i<=20; i++){         final jtogglebutton b = new jtogglebutton(new imageicon("/images/available.png"));                     panelcuerpo.add(b);          b.seticon(new javax.swing.imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/available1.png")));         b.addactionlistener(new actionlistener() {            @override             public void actionperformed(actionevent evt){                                     if(b.isselected()){                     b.seticon(new javax.swing.imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/busy1.png")));                     cantidadboletas++;                                         }else{                     b.seticon(new javax.swing.imageicon(getclass().getresource("/images/available1.png")));                     cantidadboletas--;                 }                 system.out.println(cantidadboletas);             }          });     }  

the problem here can't use settext() compare later cause there's no property hide text. how can compare later?

ps. each button has consecutive number, it's easy assign number. real problem lies in put it.

you could:

• use action api, lets trigger selected state of associated button. allows de-couple button underlying "action" should take. take @ how use actionshow use actions more details
• use actioncommand property of jbutton. allows have kind of "identifier" associated button independent of text
• use array or list maintain reference buttons
