This is a really simple code where when I click a button, the text on the button becomes "..." which is a string variable called move.

What I'm trying to figure out is if it is possible to check the text of a button in the if (e.getSource()==) command.

JButton [] button;
String move="...";

button =new JButton[25];
for (int a=0;a<25;a++)
{
    button[a]=new JButton();
    p1.add(button[a]);
    button[a].addActionListener(this);
}   

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
    for (int a=0; a<25;a++)
    {
        if (e.getSource()==button[a])
        {
          button[a].setText(move);
        }
    }
}

So after the code above, a button will have the text "..." on it. Now what I want for the next if (e.getSource()==) command is: if the button I click has the text (move), run the code.

I tried hundreds of random codes to see if they'll work but no luck:

sort of like this:

if (e.getSource()==button[a].text(move))

if (e.getSource()==button[a].getText.equals(move))

if (The button i click has the text (move) it will run this code)
{
    button[a].setBackground(Color.GREEN);
}

I'm fairly new to programming and I need this for my Checkers game. Is it possible to do what I am asking for?

String comparison in Java should be done with .equals() not ==.
