How to select a image from a JFrame and then upload it to imgur?

Question

I have done some browsing on the internet and have found this code showing how to display multiple photos in a JFrame as seen below. What I want to be able to do is select a photo and be able to upload it to imgur through clicking a button. I know how to upload files to imgur through java but I don't know how to select one image. Anyone Have a Solution?

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.*;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class ListView {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    String path = "C:/Users/Photos";
    JFrame frame=new JFrame();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

    File folder = new File(path);
    File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
    DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
    int count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++)
    {
        System.out.println("check path"+listOfFiles[i]);
        String name = listOfFiles[i].toString();
        // load only JPEGs
        if ( name.endsWith("png") ) {
            ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(listOfFiles[i]));
            listModel.add(count++, ii);
        }
    }
    JList lsm=new JList(listModel);
    lsm.setVisibleRowCount(1);

    frame.add(new JScrollPane(lsm));

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

Hope this helps! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4344682/double-click-event-on-jlist-element — Athiruban, Oct 27 '13 at 15:48

I don't know how to select one image.

JList uses an instance of ListSelectionModel to manage its selection. By default, a list selection model allows any combination of items to be selected at a time. You can specify a different selection mode(i.e, single item selection) by calling the setSelectionMode() method on the list.
```
 jList1.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
```

To do, on item selection event with JList, use the ListSelectionListener to select your item.

 jList1.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {

        @Override
        public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
         JList jlist = (JList) e.getSource();
         Object curentSelectedObject = jlist.getModel().getElementAt(e.getFirstIndex());
         Object lastSelectedObject = jlist.getModel().getElementAt(e.getLastIndex());
        }
    });

Using ListSelectionListener is preferable over using MouseListener with JList. Unlike MouseListener, being simple and higher level, it has other two functions evt.getFirstIndex() and evt.getLastIndex() which is very useful.

If you need get what was selected in your list, you can use something like this in event handler:

    ImageIcon selected = (ImageIcon)lsm.getSelectedValue();
    if(selected == null){
         // nothing selected
    }else{
         // something is selected
    }
