Is it Possible to Add ActionListener in the JFormattedTextField?

Question

Hello I'm currently working in my java file. I'd like to add an event on JFormattedTextField when I press the enter key. This is my code

    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.text.MaskFormatter;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.text.ParseException;

    public class Test extends JFrame implements ActionListener
    {
        JFormattedTextField phoneField;
        Test()
        {
            setTitle("JFormatted Text");
    setLayout(null);
    MaskFormatter mask = null;
    try {
        mask = new MaskFormatter("##########");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    phoneField = new JFormattedTextField(mask);
    phoneField.setBounds(20, 20, 150, 30);
    phoneField.addActionListener(this);
    setVisible(true);
    setSize(200, 200);
    getContentPane().add(phoneField);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new Test();
    }
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        if(e.getSource()== phoneField)
        {
            System.out.println("The numbers you enter are "+phoneField.getText());
        }
    }
    }

it works but their the user needs to enter 10 digits.

Answer 1

You could add a keyListener instead.

phonefield.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
    if(evt.getKeyCode() == evt.VK_ENTER){
        System.out.println("The numbers you enter are "+phoneField.getText());
    }
    }
});

If this isn't your problem, you should expand a little and clarify.

EDIT: As comments and other answers pointed out, you should go for an ActionListener instead. Reasoning can be found below.

Answer 2

Add an ActionListener to the field. It is better than using the (low level) KeyListener and will conform to whatever that OS accepts as 'end of entry'.

Answer 3

Don't use KeyListener instead use DocumentListener.

It has the following methods which captures the changes in the JTextField

JTextField textField = new JTextField();
        textField.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {

            @Override
            public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent arg0) {
                // Gives notification that a portion of the document has been removed.

            }

            @Override
            public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent arg0) {
                // Gives notification that there was an insert into the document.

            }

            @Override
            public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent arg0) {
            // Gives notification that an attribute or set of attributes changed.

            }
        });
