POKeyListener not reaching my switch statement
text
Body
copied!<p>I have this code:</p> <pre><code> import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; import java.awt.event.KeyListener; import java.awt.event.MouseEvent; import java.awt.event.MouseListener; import javax.swing.JApplet; public class applet extends JApplet implements KeyListener, MouseListener{ int a = 0; int b = 0; public void init(){ setSize(500,500); addKeyListener( this ); addMouseListener( this ); } public void paint(Graphics g){ g.setColor(Color.BLUE); g.fillRect(a, b, 400, 400); } @Override public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) { System.out.println("Hello!") switch(e.getKeyCode()){ case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN: a -= 5; break; case KeyEvent.VK_UP: a += 5; break; case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT: b += 5; break; case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT: b -= 5; break; } repaint(); } @Override public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } } </code></pre> <p>and it is not even reaching the switch statement,as can be seen by my debug println code. Why is this happening, and what can i do to fix this? Please do not hate if this is too broad, as I am a complete noob on this topic</p>
