I've 2 panels. One where the user inserts the data and the other with a JTable where the results will be shown.
My problem is when the user press's the ok (in my case apply) JButton the data is computed but is not shown on the JTable, nothing changes in the JTable.
For my JTable I'm using the Bean Table Model from tips4Java (http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/11/27/bean-table-model/).
One weird thing is if I send data (lets call this data 'A') to the table when the program starts it is shown on the table and if later on I try to update the table, the table does not update. But when I don't send data to the table at start up but try to update/send the table with data 'A' it does not update.
So my question is, why is not the JTable showing whatever data I send to?
Here's my code:
JButton listenere that starts the processing and sends the data to the table:
crashForm.setFormListener(new FormListener() {
#Override
public void formEvent(OptionsFormEvent oe) {
String readTable = oe.getReadFromTable();
int access = oe.getAccess();
int transition = oe.getTransition();
boolean smooth = oe.isTrainCrash();
ArrayList<String> allTrains = new ArrayList<>();
List crashedTrainList = new ArrayList<>();
try {
allTrains = controller.getUniqueTrains(controller.connectServer(), readTable, "trainid");
} catch (Exception ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "An error occured while getting trains data\n"
+ "Error description: " + ex.getMessage(), "Error",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
try {
for (int i = 0; i < allTrains.size(); i++)
{
ArrayList<Train> trainDataList = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<Train> crashedProccessedData = new ArrayList<>();
String query = "the sql query...";
trainDataList = controller.getTrainData(controller.connectServer(), readTable, query);
crashedProccessedData = controller.detectCrash(access, transition, trainDataList);
crashedTrainList.addAll(crashedProccessedData);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "An error occured while detecting a crash.\n"
+ "Error description: " + ex.getMessage(), "Error",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
System.out.println("Total crashes detected:" + crashedTrainList.size());
tablePanel.createTable(Train.class, crashedTrainList, true, false, tableLabels);
tablePanel.fireTableDataChanged();
}
});
}
And here's my tablePanel class:
public TablePanel() {
}
public void createTable(Class c, List data, boolean toolBarUp,
boolean toolBarBottom, ArrayList<String> labelsCheckBox) {
beanTableModel = new BeanTableModel(c, data);
columnModel = new XTableColumnModel();
table = new JTable(beanTableModel);
table.setColumnModel(columnModel);
table.createDefaultColumnsFromModel();
if(toolBarUp == true)
{
final JToolBar toolBarTop = new JToolBar();
// Create the Show ALL
JButton reset = new JButton("Reset");
reset.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
for(Component c : toolBarTop.getComponents()){
if(c instanceof JCheckBox){
JCheckBox checkBox = (JCheckBox) c;
checkBox.setSelected(false);
columnModel.setAllColumnsVisible();
}
}
int numberOfColumn = columnModel.getColumnCount();
for(int aux = 0; aux < numberOfColumn; aux++)
{
int num = columnModel.getColumnCount();
TableColumn column = columnModel.getColumnByModelIndex(aux);
columnModel.setColumnVisible(column, true);
}
}
});
toolBarTop.add(reset);
// Create a JCheckBox for each column
for(int i = 0; i < labelsCheckBox.size(); i++)
{
final int index = i;
toolBarTop.add(new JCheckBox(new AbstractAction(labelsCheckBox.get(i)) {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
TableColumn column = columnModel.getColumnByModelIndex(index);
boolean visible = columnModel.isColumnVisible(column);
columnModel.setColumnVisible(column, !visible);
}
}));
}
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(toolBarTop, BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);
// add(toolBarDown, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
final JToolBar toolBarDown = new JToolBar();
toolBarDown.add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Save Table") {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
}
}));
}
public void createTable(Class c, Class cAncestor) {
beanTableModel = new BeanTableModel(c, cAncestor);
table = new JTable(beanTableModel);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
public void createTable(Class c, Class cAncestor, List data) {
beanTableModel = new BeanTableModel(c, cAncestor, data);
table = new JTable(beanTableModel);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);
beanTableModel.fireTableDataChanged();
}
public void createTable(Class c) {
beanTableModel = new BeanTableModel(c);
table = new JTable(beanTableModel);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
public void createTable(Class c, List data)
{
beanTableModel = new BeanTableModel(c, data);
table = new JTable(beanTableModel);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
//to refresh the table everytime there is an update
public void fireTableDataChanged()
{
beanTableModel.fireTableDataChanged();
}
So again, my question is: Isn't my JTable not updated with the new results every time I send new data to it?
You should never invoke fireTableDataChanged manually. Only the TableModel is responsible for invoking this event.
From your code it looks like you are creating a new TableModel, JTable and JScrollPane every time you make a change. Any time you add a component to a visible GUI the basic code should be:
panel.add(....);
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();
By default all components have a size of zero so since you don't invoke revalidate() then never get a proper size and there is nothing to paint. Also, it is never a good idea to simply keep adding components to the CENTER of your panel since the old component are still part of the container.
However, there is a better solution. There is no need to keep creating new components. All you need to do is create an new TableModel and then use:
table.setModel( newlyCreatedModel );
and the model will be added to the table and the table will repaint itself automatically.

I have a problem with the JList. Whenever i remove items from it, the list does not update it's appearance so items remain there and become uncheckable.
Here is code:
DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
JList figureListBox = new JList(listModel);
figureListBox.setBounds(5, 20, 240, 300);
figureListBox.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
figureListBox.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK));
figureListBox.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
figureListBox.setLayoutOrientation(JList.VERTICAL);
figureListBox.setVisibleRowCount(10);
JButton deleteFigureButton = new JButton("Delete");
deleteFigureButton.setBounds(5, 305, 240, 25);
deleteFigureButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
if(currentFigure != -1) {
listModel.remove(currentFigure);
currentFigure = -1;
}
}
});`
Repaint and revalidate doesn't work, as well as updateUI()
Here is a screenshot of how it looks like
Here is the NetBeans code -->
//set data to jlist
public void setList() {
String[] listData = {"list1", "list2", "list3", "list3", "list3", "list3", "list3", "list3"};
jList1.setListData(listData);
}
//delete data from jlist
public String[] delList() {
ListModel<String> beforDeleteDataList = jList1.getModel();
String[] newDataList = new String[beforDeleteDataList.getSize() - 1];
int beforDeleteDataListIndex = 1;
try {
for (int i = 0; i < (beforDeleteDataList.getSize()); i++) {
newDataList[i] =
beforDeleteDataList.getElementAt(beforDeleteDataListIndex);
beforDeleteDataListIndex++;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return newDataList;}
//delete button action
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
jList1.setListData(delList());
}
From your comment:
list does update after moving a window.
Verify whether you call setVisible() after adding components to the JPanel(if using it).
Check this if it relates to your problem.
JPanel doesn't update until resize Jframe
Also post your full code.
I have made a JOptionPane which contains a JPanel. The panel contains one button and one Jtable.
JPanel p = atomicAttack.getPanel(); //make the panel and return it
JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, p,"Atomic Attacks",
JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION,JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE,
null, new Object[]{}, null);
and inside the JButton i have:
private void jButton3ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
selectedId=jTable1.getValueAt(jTable1.getSelectedRow(), 0).toString();
}
I need to when the user clicks on the button, the JOption get closed and the selectedId get return from the JOptionPane?
I have seen this, but it is not exactly what i am looking for.
Because the button does not return the value for me.
Focus on the models and things will be easier.
public static void main(String[] args) {
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
tableModel.addColumn("Selection", new Object[] { "A", "B", "C" });
JTable table = new JTable(tableModel);
ListSelectionModel selectionModel = table.getSelectionModel();
JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
p.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
int option = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, p, "Atomic Attacks", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
if (JOptionPane.OK_OPTION == option) {
printSelection(selectionModel, tableModel);
} else {
selectionModel.clearSelection();
}
}
private static void printSelection(ListSelectionModel selectionModel, TableModel tableModel) {
for (int i = selectionModel.getMinSelectionIndex(); i <= selectionModel.getMaxSelectionIndex(); i++) {
if (selectionModel.isSelectedIndex(i)) {
Object selectedValue = tableModel.getValueAt(i, 0);
System.out.println(selectedValue);
}
}
}
If you now select multiple rows
and press the ok button the result will be
A
C
If you want a single selection you can just set
ListSelectionModel selectionModel = table.getSelectionModel();
selectionModel.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
I have this code to which it can display data from database. It's working well but I want it to have checkbox at last column. I've found some codes here but It's only for pre-defined not values and not from database. (How to add checkboxes to JTABLE swing)
Screenshot:
Code:
public print() {
initComponents();
try{
conn = (Connection) db_connect.connectDB();
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException | SQLException ex){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ex);
}
update_table("select name, section, student_number, gender from students");
}
public void update_table(String q){
try{
st= conn.createStatement();
st.executeQuery(q);
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(q);
users_list.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));
users_list.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setPreferredWidth(250);
users_list.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setPreferredWidth(250);
users_list.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setPreferredWidth(150);
users_list.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setPreferredWidth(120);
users_list.getColumnModel().getColumn(3).setPreferredWidth(100);
int count= users_list.getModel().getRowCount();
if(count==0){
no_results_found.setVisible(true);
}
else{
no_results_found.setVisible(false);
}
}
catch(SQLException ex){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,ex);
}
}
You can try something like this:
public class JTableWithCheckBox {
private JFrame mainFrame;
private JTable studentTable;
private JScrollPane scrollPaneTable;
private DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(new Object[][] {
{ "Ramesh", "Male" }, { "Sheela", "Female" },
{ "Amithabh", "Male" }, { "Katrina", "Female" } }, new Object[] {
"Name", "Gender" });
public static void main(String[] args) {
final JTableWithCheckBox ui = new JTableWithCheckBox();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
ui.initGUI();
}
});
}
private void initGUI() {
mainFrame = new JFrame("View");
mainFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
mainFrame.setSize(300, 200);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
mainFrame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
studentTable = new JTable(model);
studentTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1)
.setCellRenderer(new MFCheckBox());
scrollPaneTable = new JScrollPane(studentTable);
mainFrame.add(scrollPaneTable, BorderLayout.NORTH);
}
private class MFCheckBox implements TableCellRenderer {
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,
int column) {
JPanel cbPanel = new JPanel();
JCheckBox maleBox = new JCheckBox("Male");
JCheckBox femaleBox = new JCheckBox("Female");
cbPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
cbPanel.add(maleBox, BorderLayout.WEST);
cbPanel.add(femaleBox, BorderLayout.EAST);
if (value != null) {
if (value instanceof String) {
String valStr = (String) value;
switch (valStr) {
case "Male":
maleBox.setSelected(true);
femaleBox.setSelected(false);
break;
case "Female":
maleBox.setSelected(false);
femaleBox.setSelected(true);
break;
default:
maleBox.setSelected(false);
femaleBox.setSelected(false);
break;
}
}
}
return cbPanel;
}
}
}
If you also want checkbox editable, you will have to set TableCellEditor as well.
The easiest way is to NOT use DBUtils and to load the data from the ResultSet into the TableModel` yourself.
The code is not difficult and you can use the Table From Database Example found in Table From Database as the starting point.
The code just loads the data from the ResultSet into Vectors, so you can then manually add another column to contain Boolean data.
The changes to the code would be something like:
// Get column names
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
{
columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );
}
columnName.addElement( "Check Mark" ); // added
// Get row data
while (rs.next())
{
Vector<Object> row = new Vector<Object>(columns);
for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
{
row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
}
row.addElement( Boolean.FALSE ); // added
data.addElement( row );
}
The other option is to create a "wrapper" TableModel that wraps a Boolean column with your DBUtils TableModel. Check out How to add checkbox in Jtable populated using rs2xml for an example of this approach.
That answer places the check box column at the start of the table, so you would need to modify the code to place the check box at the end.
basically what i am trying to do is, i have a JList which contain a list of available drive, if one of that drive selected by user then i will show all html files which located in selected drive in a JTable, so i put an event listener for my JList and then i create a JTable and put all data there and show it in the container. the code look like this:
static class HtmlListing implements ListSelectionListener
{
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent event)
{
if (!event.getValueIsAdjusting())
{ //trying to remove and re-add controls in container.
EastCont.removeAll();
globarr = new ArrayList<File>(); // global variable
FileListing fl = new FileListing();
fl.walk(fileList1.getSelectedValue() + "work\\airasia\\html", 500, 0);
//if(globarr.size() > 0)
//{
Object[][] data = new Object[globarr.size()][globarr.size()];
for(int i = 0; i < globarr.size(); i++)
{
if(globarr.get(i).isFile())
{
String filename = globarr.get(i).getName().toString();
String date = sdf.format(globarr.get(i).lastModified());
Object[] obj = new Object[] {filename, filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf(".") + 1), date, globarr.get(i).getAbsolutePath()};
data[i] = obj;
}
}
Object[] column = new Object[]{"name ", "type", "date modified", "path"};
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, column);
model.fireTableDataChanged();
table = new JTable(model)
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column)
{
return false;
};
};
table.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
{
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
if (e.getClickCount() == 2)
{
int rowIdx = table.getSelectedRow(); // path to your new file
TableModel tm = table.getModel();
String path = tm.getValueAt(rowIdx, 3).toString();
File htmlFile = new File(path);
try // open the default web browser for the HTML page
{
Desktop.getDesktop().browse(htmlFile.toURI());
//Desktop.getDesktop().open(htmlFile);
}
catch (IOException e1)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
table.removeColumn(table.getColumnModel().getColumn(3)); //hide column path from display
table.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
table.setIntercellSpacing(new Dimension(0, 5));
table.setShowGrid(false);
scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
EastCont = new JPanel();
EastCont.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
EastCont.add(scrollPane);
EastCont.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1050, 1000));
//EastCont.repaint();
//EastCont.revalidate();
gui.add(EastCont, BorderLayout.EAST);
gui.revalidate();
gui.repaint();
// }
// else
// {
// EastCont.remove(table);
// gui.remove(EastCont);
// gui.revalidate();
// gui.repaint();
// }
}
this code work only for first time, but does not working for second time and so on, so what i miss here? any help would be great. thank you.
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, column);
//model.fireTableDataChanged();
//table = new JTable(model)
table.setModel( model );
Don't create a new table change reset the model of your current table. The rest of the code in that method is not necessary either since you are not creating any new GUI components.
Also, never invoke a fireXXX method. That is the responsibility of the TableModel.
I'm creating a program that reads data from a file, displays it on a GUI that has a JList and JButtons. I am trying to write it with CardLayout so the appropriate JPanel can be displayed when an item is selected from the JList or a JButton is clicked (i.e. next, previous, first and last). I am able to successfully read from the file and display data to the GUI. I've run into 2 problems and I've tried searching online for answers but cant seem to figure it out:
1) How do I get the JPanels to switch using CardLayout?
2) How do I get the data to be displayed in the GUI in text fields when a user clicks an item from the JList? The JList does appear and my ListSelectionListener is working because when I click on a particular item, it will print to the console (as a test).
If I comment out all of the JPanels except for 1, then it is correctly displayed but when I place all of them, then it does not switch.
So far, I have this for my ListSelectionListener (as an inner class):
public class CancerSelectionListener implements ListSelectionListener {
#Override
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
Integer selection = (Integer)(((JList) e.getSource()).getSelectedIndex());
if(selection == 0) {
System.out.println("blah"); // works
// switch to the corresponding JPanel in CardLayout
}
}
}
String[] tester;
String teste;
listModel = new DefaultListModel();
for(int i = 0; i < 36; i++) {
tester = _controller.readCancer(i); // reads from the file, this part works!
teste = tester[0];
listModel.addElement(teste);
}
cancerList = new JList(listModel);
cancerList.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
cancerList.setSelectedIndex(-1);
cancerList.setVisibleRowCount(5);
cancerListScroller = new JScrollPane(cancerList);
CardLayout myCardLayout;
myCardLayout = new CardLayout();
mainPanel2.setLayout(myCardLayout);
myCardLayout.show(mainPanel2, "test");
CancerPanels.aplPanel apl = new CancerPanels.aplPanel();
CancerPanels.fcPanels fc = new CancerPanels.fcPanels();
CancerPanels.vhlsPanels vhls = new CancerPanels.vhlsPanels();
CancerPanels.pdgPanels pdg = new CancerPanels.pdgPanels();
CancerPanels.cebpaPanels cebpa = new CancerPanels.cebpaPanels();
mainPanel2.add(apl.aplReturn(), "test");
mainPanel2.add(fc.fcReturn());
mainPanel2.add(vhls.vhlsReturn());
mainPanel2.add(pdg.pdgReturn());
mainPanel2.add(cebpa.cebpaReturn());
// I have 37 JPanels that are placed in the JPanel that uses CardLayout but I didn't post all of them as it would take up lots of space
The data for each JPanel is populated from static inner classes in the CancerPanels class (only showing 1 as each is very long!)
public class CancerPanels extends CancerGUI {
static JPanel cards;
static CancerController _cons = new CancerController();
static String[] cancerData;
static JScrollPane treatmentsScroller = new JScrollPane(txtTreatments, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

}
Edit:
Here is my most recent attempt. I can scroll through the JList but it doesn't properly display the correct corresponding JPanel (in fact it doesn't display anything, except whenever I click the last button, I don't know why that button works). I successfully managed to place an ItemListener on a JComboBox but ultimately, I want the CardLayout to work. Our instructor provided us with sample code to use but when I try it, the JPanels do not switch (or if they do they're hidden, not sure why).
Each of my listeners are public inner classes in the overall CancerGUI class.
public CancerGUI() {
CancerPanels.aplPanel apl = new CancerPanels.aplPanel();
CancerPanels.fcPanels fc = new CancerPanels.fcPanels();
CancerPanels.vhlsPanels vhls = new CancerPanels.vhlsPanels();
// more than 30 JPanels that I add to the JPanel that uses CardLayout, so I only posted 3
// each of them uses the GridLayout
mainPanel2 = new JPanel(new CardLayout());

In essence what you are trying to do is to change the state of one class from another.
How this is done with Swing GUI's is no different for how it is done for non-GUI programs: one class calls the public methods of another class.
One key is to have wiring to allow this to occur which means references for one class needs to be available to the other class so that appropriate methods can be called on appropriate references. The devil as they say is in the details.
"1) How do I get the JPanels to switch using CardLayout?" -- So the class that holds the CardLayout could for instance have the public methods, next(), previous(), and perhaps show(SOME_STRING_CONSTANT) or some other swapView(...) method.
"2) How do I get the data to be displayed in the GUI in text fields when a user clicks an item from the JList?" -- This will involve the use of listeners -- the class holding the JTextFields will listen for notification from the class that holds the JList, and when notified gets the necessary information from the list-displaying class. A PropertyChangeListener could work well here.
e.g.,
public class CancerSelectionListener implements ListSelectionListener {
private CardDisplayingView cardDisplayingView = null;
public CancerSelectionListener(CardDisplayingView cardDisplayingView) {
this.cardDisplayingView = cardDisplayingView;
}
#Override
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
int selection = ((JList) e.getSource()).getSelectedIndex();
if(selection == 0) {
if (cardDisplayingView != null) {
cardDisplayingView.swapView(...);
}
}
}
}
