[SOLVED] Continuous key pushes

[Vinicius Souza]

Hi! How can I generate a continuous KeyPress event? I really need to create an array of keys and do it by my self or its build on the Java API ?
Thanks!

Yes! This forum help-me a lot all the time. The solution was:

private boolean [] keys = new boolean[256];

//To read the keys
Timer timerKeyboard = new Timer(20, this); //about 50fps
timerKeyboard.setInitialDelay(0);
timerKeyboard.setRepeats(true);
timerKeyboard.start();

// populate the array with the state of the keys
addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
			@Override
			public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
				keys[e.getKeyCode()] = true;
			}
				
			@Override
			public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
				keys[e.getKeyCode()] = false;
			}	
		}); 
// Receive timer action and process is
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) 
{		
               if (ev.getSource() == timerKeyboard) {
  			if (keys[KeyEvent.VK_ALT]) {
				if (selectedInstance != null) {
					if (keys[KeyEvent.VK_LEFT]) {
						selectedInstance.setX(selectedInstance.getX() - 1);
						panelStageDesigner.repaint();
					}
					if (keys[KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT]) {
						selectedInstance.setX(selectedInstance.getX() + 1);
						panelStageDesigner.repaint();
					}
					if (keys[KeyEvent.VK_UP]) {
						selectedInstance.setY(selectedInstance.getY() - 1);
						panelStageDesigner.repaint();
					}
					if (keys[KeyEvent.VK_DOWN]) {
						selectedInstance.setY(selectedInstance.getY() + 1);
						panelStageDesigner.repaint();
					}
				}	
  			}

		}
}

That's all!
