[java] KeyListener, keyPressed versus keyTyped

I have a JFrame (well, a class which extends JFrame) and I want to do an action when I press the F5 key. So, I made the class implement KeyListener. And with that, came three methods, keyPressed, keyReleased, and keyTyped.

Which of these methods should I use to listen for F5 being pressed? keyPressed or keyTyped? I currently have the following, however it does not print anything when I press F5.

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_F5)
        System.out.println("F5 pressed");
}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

You should use keyPressed if you want an immediate effect, and keyReleased if you want the effect after you release the key. You cannot use keyTyped because F5 is not a character. keyTyped is activated only when an character is pressed.

private String message;
private ScreenManager s;


//Here is an example of code to add the keyListener() as suggested; modify 
public void init(){
Window w = s.getFullScreenWindow();
w.addKeyListener(this);

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
    int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
        if(keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_F5)
            message = "Pressed: " + KeyEvent.getKeyText(keyCode);
}

Neither. You should NOT use a KeyLIstener.

Swing was designed to be used with Key Bindings. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Key Bindings.
