Receiving input from JTextField

Question

I'm have a grid of textfields and labels and i want to know what would i have to do to get the input from the textfields. I know how to do it if it was declared? i think is the word for it, but this is a bit different. i dont know how to recieve the input from something that hasnt been given a name. this was something i realized after the matter.

A sample from a class of what i'm talking about

for (int c = 0; c < 9; c++) {
    p3 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 3));
    p3.setBorder(lineBorder);
    for (int d = 0; d <= 8; d++) {
        if (d == 0) {
            p3.add(new JLabel("5", JLabel.CENTER));
        } else if (d == 5) {
            p3.add(new JLabel("8", JLabel.CENTER));
        } else if (d == 7) {
            p3.add(new JLabel("2", JLabel.CENTER));
        } else {
            p3.add(new JTextField(1));
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Declare a List before the for loop and change the else statement to

else {
    JTextField tf = new JTextField(1);
    list.add(tf);
    p3.add(tf);
}

After that iterate over the list and get the text from each element.
