java - Access the method inside the addMouseListener() method -

i want return count of mouse clicks every time panel clicked. have basepanel class has code snippet:

    basepanel(){ //inside basepanel class         addmouselistener(new mouseadapter(){             public void mousereleased(mouseevent e){                 if(clicked == troop1){                     count1--;                     count = count1; //i want count accessible in class                     system.out.println("troop1 count: "+count);                 }else if(clicked == troop2){                     count2--;                     count = count2;                     system.out.println("troop2 count: "+count);                 }             }             public int getcount(){ //how can method accessible in class                 return count;             }         });     } 

here, wanted return count variable. want buttonspanel class able access getcount() method in basepanel class.

    buttonspanel(){ //inside buttonspanel class         basepanel pane = new basepanel();         troop1 = new jbutton(""+pane.getcount());         troop2 = new jbutton(""+pane.getcount());     } 

but think, way access getcount() method in buttonspanel class wrong.

getcount() method of anonymous class implementation of mouseadapter.

if want able access it, you'll have pull out of anonymity:

basepanel(){     mouseadapter mouseadapter = new mouseadapter(){         public void mousereleased(mouseevent e){             if(clicked == troop1){                 count1--;                 count = count1; //i want count accessible in class                 system.out.println("troop1 count: "+count);             }else if(clicked == troop2){                 count2--;                 count = count2;                 system.out.println("troop2 count: "+count);             }         }         public int getcount(){             return count;         }     });      addmouselistener(mouseadapater); } 

and add getter method class:

public mouseadapter getmouseadapater() {     return mouseadapter; } 

and can access such:

buttonspanel(){ //inside buttonspanel class     basepanel pane = new basepanel();     mouseadapter adapater = pane.getmouseadapater();     troop1 = new jbutton(""+adapater.getcount());     troop2 = new jbutton(""+adapater.getcount()); }
