Adding an ActionListener to a JFileChooser to listen for selection of the approval or cancel actions

Approval is double-clicking a file, JFileChooser.APPROVE_SELECTION. Cancel is pressing the Escape key, JFileChooser.CANCEL_SELECTION. import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.io.File; import javax.swing.JFileChooser; public class JFileChooserSelectionOption {   public static void main(String[] a) {     JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser(".");     fileChooser.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {         System.out.println("Action");       }     });          int status = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null);     if (status == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {       File selectedFile = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();       System.out.println(selectedFile.getParent());       System.out.println(selectedFile.getName());     } else if (status == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION) {       System.out.println("calceled");     }   } }
