Listener only for the first click on JTextField

Answer

You can implement your own custom logic:

• Store a “flag” like global boolean variable:

  boolean alreadyClicked = false
  

• Each time you click the JTextField check (and toggle) that variable:

  if(!alreadyClicked) {
     alreadyClicked = true;
    // do your work
  }
  

• When focusing out from that field toggle variable again to:

  alreadyClicked = false;
