Thread: Creating a Listeners class

So I've broken out my JFrame controls into their own class called Controls that extends the main class.

Now I'm trying to break out the Action Listeners into a Listeners class.

This code runs in

public static void main(String[] arguments) throws IOException {}:

Controls.btnClear.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
	{
		Controls.panel.remove(Controls.label);
		Controls.panel.repaint();
	}
});

I have the Listeners class as:

public class Listeners extends Controls implements ActionListener {}

The question is, how do I get that btnClear (it clears an image in a panel) to work when I move it to the Listeners class?

I have a panel that an image is displayed in via a label. Clicking btnClear clears the image from the panel by removing the label. So the action listener code for btnClear works when it's in main. So how do I get that code to work inside of a Listeners class?

I got it figued out. In the Controls class where I am creating the button I create the ActionListener:

btnClear.addActionListener(new Listeners().new btnClearListener());

And then in my Listeners class I create the individual control listeners:

public class btnClearListener implements ActionListener {
 
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            Controls.panel.remove(Controls.label);
            Controls.panel.repaint();
        }
 
}

I suppose I could use a single Listener and test for whatever control is being used but that doesn't seem very simple or efficient.
