title: ActionEvent get source of button JavaFX
body: <p>I have about 10 buttons which are going to be sent to the same method. I want the method to identify the source. So the method knows button "done" has evoked this function. Then I can add a switch case of if statement to handle them accordingly. This is what I have tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>//Call:
      btnDone.setOnAction(e -&gt; test(e));
  
  
     public void test(ActionEvent e) {
          System.out.println("Action 1: " + e.getTarget());
          System.out.println("Action 2: " + e.getSource());
          System.out.println("Action 3: " + e.getEventType());
          System.out.println("Action 4: " + e.getClass());
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output Result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Action 1: Button@27099741[styleClass=button]'Done'
  Action 2: Button@27099741[styleClass=button]'Done'
  Action 3: ACTION
  Action 4: class javafx.event.ActionEvent
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Done is the text on the button. As you can see I could use  <code>e.getTarget()</code> and/or <code>e.getSource()</code> then I'll have to substring it, so only the "Done" appears. Is there any other way to get the string in the apostrophe instead of having to substring. </p>

    <p>UPDATE: I have tried passing Button and it works but I still want to
    know a solution using ActionEvent.</p>

  <pre><code>//Call:
          btnDone.setOnAction(e -&gt; test(btnDone));
  
  
         public void test(Button e) {
              System.out.println("Action 1: " + e.getText());
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output is <code>Action 1: Done</code></p>
