How can I get the text from a component in a JList?

Question

I have a JList and I am wanting to get the text of an entry of that list at a specific index. Could someone inform me how to do this or should I restructure my code to getValues instead of getIndices?

Answer 1

Object[] temp = jList1.getSelectedValues();
temp[i] = the object you want.

Answer 2

JList dataList=(...)

 for(int i = 0; i < dataList.getModel().getSize(); i++) {
     System.out.println(dataList.getModel().getElementAt(i));
 }

Answer 3

DefaultListModel list = new DefaultListModel(); JList jl = new JList(list);

int i = 21; Object = element; String = yourElement;

element = jl.getModel().getElementAt(i); yourElement = element.toString;
