JTable - ActionListener for select a row

actionlistener, awt, java, jtable, swing

Solution

Try this. I use a `ListSelectionListener` and it works for me. I added a listener to the table Model

jTable.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
    @Override
    public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent event) {
        if (jTable.getSelectedRow() > -1) {
            // print first column value from selected row
            System.out.println(jTable.getValueAt(jTable.getSelectedRow(), 0).toString());
        }
    }
});

Problem

I need the right `AcionListener` for my `JTable`. At program start there is no row selected by default. If I now select any row in this `JTable` then the `ActionListener` shall start.
