java - removeMouseListener method not working -

the removemouselistener not working: if click on old jlabel still adding variable score. every time time lapse passed old object should have mouselistener removed , new 1 should 1 it.

timer pictimer = new timer(1000, new actionlistener(){              int oldrr=0;             int oldrc=0 ;             final int[] score = {0};             @override             public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {                 mouseadapter act = new mouseadapter(){                      @override public void mouseclicked(mouseevent e){                          score[0]++;                         lbltimer.settext(string.valueof(score[0]));                        }                     };                 arraywm[oldrr][oldrc].removemouselistener(act);                 arraywm[oldrr][oldrc].seticon(null);                 random random = new random();                 arraywm[oldrr][oldrc].seticon(null);                 int rr = random.nextint(3 - 0 + 1) + 0;                 int rc = random.nextint(3 - 0 + 1) + 0;                 oldrr = rr;                 oldrc = rc;                 arraywm[rr][rc].seticon(new imageicon("img/one.jpg"));                   arraywm[rr][rc].addmouselistener(act );             }         }); 

each time timer triggered, create instance of mouseadapter , attempt remove instance jlabel, label not have instance registered it. add instance of mouselistener label, compounding number of mouselisteners registered 1 label @ time.

instead, create single instance of mouseadapter , re-use, maybe this...

timer pictimer = new timer(1000, new actionlistener() {      int oldrr = 0;     int oldrc = 0;     final int[] score = {0};     mouseadapter act = new mouseadapter() {          @override         public void mouseclicked(mouseevent e) {              score[0]++;             lbltimer.settext(string.valueof(score[0]));          }     };      @override     public void actionperformed(actionevent e) {         arraywm[oldrr][oldrc].removemouselistener(act);         arraywm[oldrr][oldrc].seticon(null);         random random = new random();         arraywm[oldrr][oldrc].seticon(null);         int rr = random.nextint(3 - 0 + 1) + 0;         int rc = random.nextint(3 - 0 + 1) + 0;         oldrr = rr;         oldrc = rc;         arraywm[rr][rc].seticon(new imageicon("img/one.jpg"));          arraywm[rr][rc].addmouselistener(act);     } });
