Java – how to clear jtextfield when the mouse clicks jtextfield

When the mouse clicks on the text field, I need to make the program clear the text from the text field I've tried some things, but none of them work for me

Here are all the codes:

public class TimerClassPanel extends JFrame implements MouseListener{

    public TimerClassPanel(){
        setTitle("Timer Class");
        setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);

        timer = new Timer(DELAY,new TimerEventHandler());

        pane = getContentPane();
        pane.setLayout(null);

        int r = (int)(9.0 * Math.random()) + 1;
        String str2 = Integer.toString(r);

        label = new JLabel(str2,SwingConstants.CENTER);
        label.setSize(150,30);
        label.setLocation(0,0);

        textField = new JTextField();
        textField.setSize(150,30);
        textField.setLocation(150,0);

        startB = new JButton("Start");
        startbh = new StartButtonHandler();
        startB.addActionListener(startbh);
        startB.setSize(100,30);
        startB.setLocation(0,30);

        stopB = new JButton("Stop");
        stopbh = new StopButtonHandler();
        stopB.addActionListener(stopbh);
        stopB.setSize(100,30);
        stopB.setLocation(100,30);

        exitB = new JButton("Exit");
        ebHandler = new ExitButtonHandler();
        exitB.addActionListener(ebHandler);
        exitB.setSize(100,30);
        exitB.setLocation(200,30);      

        pane.add(label);

        pane.add(textField);
        pane.add(startB);
        pane.add(stopB);
        pane.add(exitB);

        timer = new Timer(DELAY,new TimerEventHandler());

        setVisible(true);
        setDefaultCloSEOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

    private class TimerEventHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            int r = (int)(9.0 * Math.random()) + 1;
            String str = Integer.toString(r);
            currentNum = "";
            currentNum = str;
            label.setText(str);
            repaint();
        }
    }

    public class StartButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            timer.start();
        }
    }

    public class StopButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            timer.stop();
        }
    }

    private class ExitButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        TimerClassPanel timerPanel = new TimerClassPanel();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Type your guess (int between 1-9)" +
                " in the field then press 'ENTER'");
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        if( e.getX() > 150 && e.getX() < 300 && e.getY() > 0 && e.getY() < 30)
        {   
            textField.setText("");
            repaint();
        }
    }

    @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

    }
}

Solution

TL; DR

Anyway, register mouseadapter and override mouseclicked to work for me,

import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class ClickAndClearDemo {
    private static void createAndShowGUI(){
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloSEOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER,20,20));

        final JTextField textField = new JTextField("Enter text here...");
        textField.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
            @Override
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
                textField.setText("");
            }
        });

        frame.add(textField);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokelater(new Runnable(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }
}

I hope this example will let you start in the right direction!
