The JTable is used to display and edit regular two-dimensional tables of cells. See How to Use Tables in The Java Tutorial for task-oriented documentation and examples of using JTable.

The JTable has many facilities that make it possible to customize its rendering and editing but provides defaults for these features so that simple tables can be set up easily. For example, to set up a table with 10 rows and 10 columns of numbers:

      TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {
          public int getColumnCount() { return 10; }
          public int getRowCount() { return 10;}
          public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { return new Integer(row*col); }
      };
      JTable table = new JTable(dataModel);
      JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);
 

Note that if you wish to use a JTable in a standalone view (outside of a JScrollPane) and want the header displayed, you can get it using getTableHeader() and display it separately.

When designing applications that use the JTable it is worth paying close attention to the data structures that will represent the table's data. The DefaultTableModel is a model implementation that uses a Vector of Vectors of Objects to store the cell values. As well as copying the data from an application into the DefaultTableModel, it is also possible to wrap the data in the methods of the TableModel interface so that the data can be passed to the JTable directly, as in the example above. This often results in more efficient applications because the model is free to choose the internal representation that best suits the data. A good rule of thumb for deciding whether to use the AbstractTableModel or the DefaultTableModel is to use the AbstractTableModel as the base class for creating subclasses and the DefaultTableModel when subclassing is not required.

The "TableExample" directory in the demo area of the source distribution gives a number of complete examples of JTable usage, covering how the JTable can be used to provide an editable view of data taken from a database and how to modify the columns in the display to use specialized renderers and editors.

The JTable uses integers exclusively to refer to both the rows and the columns of the model that it displays. The JTable simply takes a tabular range of cells and uses getValueAt(int, int) to retrieve the values from the model during painting.

By default, columns may be rearranged in the JTable so that the view's columns appear in a different order to the columns in the model. This does not affect the implementation of the model at all: when the columns are reordered, the JTable maintains the new order of the columns internally and converts its column indices before querying the model.

So, when writing a TableModel, it is not necessary to listen for column reordering events as the model will be queried in its own coordinate system regardless of what is happening in the view. In the examples area there is a demonstration of a sorting algorithm making use of exactly this technique to interpose yet another coordinate system where the order of the rows is changed, rather than the order of the columns.

1.5 adds methods to JTable to provide convenient access to some common printing needs. Simple new print() As for all JComponent classes, you can use InputMap methods allow for quick and easy addition of printing support to your application. In addition, a new getPrintable(javax.swing.JTable.PrintMode, java.text.MessageFormat, java.text.MessageFormat) and ActionMap method is available for more advanced printing needs. to associate an Action object with a KeyStroke and execute the action under specified conditions.

As for all JComponent classes, you can use InputMap For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and Feel (L&F) renditions, see the JTable key assignments and ActionMap to associate an Action object with a KeyStroke and execute the action under specified conditions. .

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans ^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder .

If editor is null, removes the default editor for this column class.

Parameters:

columnClass - set the default cell editor for this columnClass

editor - default cell editor to be used for this columnClass

See Also:

TableModel.isCellEditable(int, int) , getDefaultEditor(java.lang.Class) , setDefaultRenderer(java.lang.Class, javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer)

getDefaultEditor

public TableCellEditor getDefaultEditor(Class columnClass)

Returns the editor to be used when no editor has been set in a TableColumn. During the editing of cells the editor is fetched from a Hashtable of entries according to the class of the cells in the column. If there is no entry for this columnClass the method returns the entry for the most specific superclass. The JTable installs entries for Object, Number, and Boolean, all of which can be modified or replaced.

Parameters:

columnClass - return the default cell editor for this columnClass

Returns:

the default cell editor to be used for this columnClass

See Also:

setDefaultEditor(java.lang.Class, javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor) , getColumnClass(int)

setDragEnabled

public void setDragEnabled(boolean b)

Sets the dragEnabled property, which must be true to enable automatic drag handling (the first part of drag and drop) on this component. The transferHandler property needs to be set to a non-null value for the drag to do anything. The default value of the dragEnabled.

When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels begin a drag-and-drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over a selection and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to true can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.

Some look and feels might not support automatic drag and drop; they will ignore this property. You can work around such look and feels by modifying the component to directly call the exportAsDrag method of a TransferHandler.

Parameters:

b - the value to set the dragEnabled property to

Throws:

HeadlessException - if b is true and GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true

Since:

1.4

See Also:

GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() , getDragEnabled() , JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler) , TransferHandler

getDragEnabled

public boolean getDragEnabled()

Gets the value of the dragEnabled property.

Returns:

the value of the dragEnabled property

Since:

1.4

See Also:

setDragEnabled(boolean)

setSelectionMode

public void setSelectionMode(int selectionMode)

Sets the table's selection mode to allow only single selections, a single contiguous interval, or multiple intervals.

Note: JTable provides all the methods for handling column and row selection. When setting states, such as setSelectionMode, it not only updates the mode for the row selection model but also sets similar values in the selection model of the columnModel. If you want to have the row and column selection models operating in different modes, set them both directly.

Both the row and column selection models for JTable default to using a DefaultListSelectionModel so that JTable works the same way as the JList. See the setSelectionMode method in JList for details about the modes.

See Also:

JList.setSelectionMode(int)

setRowSelectionAllowed

public void setRowSelectionAllowed(boolean rowSelectionAllowed)

setCellSelectionEnabled

public void setCellSelectionEnabled(boolean cellSelectionEnabled)

Sets whether this table allows both a column selection and a row selection to exist simultaneously. When set, the table treats the intersection of the row and column selection models as the selected cells. Override isCellSelected to change this default behavior. This method is equivalent to setting both the rowSelectionAllowed property and columnSelectionAllowed property of the columnModel to the supplied value.

Parameters:

cellSelectionEnabled - true if simultaneous row and column selection is allowed

See Also:

getCellSelectionEnabled() , isCellSelected(int, int)

getCellSelectionEnabled

Some UIs may need more functionality than this method provides, such as when manipulating the lead for discontiguous selection, and may not call into this method for some selection changes.

This implementation uses the following conventions:

• toggle: false, extend: false. Clear the previous selection and ensure the new cell is selected.

To add a column to this JTable to display the modelColumn'th column of data in the model with a given width, cellRenderer, and cellEditor you can use:

      addColumn(new TableColumn(modelColumn, width, cellRenderer, cellEditor));

  

[Any of the TableColumn constructors can be used instead of this one.] The model column number is stored inside the TableColumn and is used during rendering and editing to locate the appropriates data values in the model. The model column number does not change when columns are reordered in the view.

Parameters:

aColumn - the TableColumn to be added

See Also:

removeColumn(javax.swing.table.TableColumn)

removeColumn

public void removeColumn(TableColumn aColumn)

moveColumn

public void moveColumn(int column,
                       int targetColumn)

Parameters:

column - the index of column to be moved

targetColumn - the new index of the column

columnAtPoint

public int columnAtPoint(Point point)

Returns the index of the column that point lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, getColumnCount()-1].

Parameters:

point - the location of interest

Returns:

the index of the column that point lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, getColumnCount()-1]

See Also:

getCellRect

public Rectangle getCellRect(int row,
                             int column,
                             boolean includeSpacing)

Returns a rectangle for the cell that lies at the intersection of row and column. If includeSpacing is true then the value returned has the full height and width of the row and column specified. If it is false, the returned rectangle is inset by the intercell spacing to return the true bounds of the rendering or editing component as it will be set during rendering.

If the column index is valid but the row index is less than zero the method returns a rectangle with the y and height values set appropriately and the x and width values both set to zero. In general, when either the row or column indices indicate a cell outside the appropriate range, the method returns a rectangle depicting the closest edge of the closest cell that is within the table's range. When both row and column indices are out of range the returned rectangle covers the closest point of the closest cell.

In all cases, calculations that use this method to calculate results along one axis will not fail because of anomalies in calculations along the other axis. When the cell is not valid the includeSpacing parameter is ignored.

Parameters:

row - the row index where the desired cell is located

column - the column index where the desired cell is located in the display; this is not necessarily the same as the column index in the data model for the table; the convertColumnIndexToView(int) method may be used to convert a data model column index to a display column index

includeSpacing - if false, return the true cell bounds - computed by subtracting the intercell spacing from the height and widths of the column and row models

Returns:

the rectangle containing the cell at location row,column

doLayout

public void doLayout()

Causes this table to lay out its rows and columns. Overridden so that columns can be resized to accomodate a change in the size of a containing parent. Resizes one or more of the columns in the table so that the total width of all of this JTable's columns is equal to the width of the table.

Before the layout begins the method gets the resizingColumn of the tableHeader. When the method is called as a result of the resizing of an enclosing window, the resizingColumn is null. This means that resizing has taken place "outside" the JTable and the change - or "delta" - should be distributed to all of the columns regardless of this JTable's automatic resize mode.

If the resizingColumn is not null, it is one of the columns in the table that has changed size rather than the table itself. In this case the auto-resize modes govern the way the extra (or deficit) space is distributed amongst the available columns.

The modes are:

• AUTO_RESIZE_OFF: Don't automatically adjust the column's widths at all. Use a horizontal scrollbar to accomodate the columns when their sum exceeds the width of the Viewport. If the JTable is not enclosed in a JScrollPane this may leave parts of the table invisible.
• AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN: Use just the column after the resizing column. This results in the "boundary" or divider between adjacent cells being independently adjustable.
• AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS: Use all columns after the one being adjusted to absorb the changes. This is the default behavior.
• AUTO_RESIZE_LAST_COLUMN: Automatically adjust the size of the last column only. If the bounds of the last column prevent the desired size from being allocated, set the width of the last column to the appropriate limit and make no further adjustments.
• AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS: Spread the delta amongst all the columns in the JTable, including the one that is being adjusted.

Note: When a JTable makes adjustments to the widths of the columns it respects their minimum and maximum values absolutely. It is therefore possible that, even after this method is called, the total width of the columns is still not equal to the width of the table. When this happens the JTable does not put itself in AUTO_RESIZE_OFF mode to bring up a scroll bar, or break other commitments of its current auto-resize mode -- instead it allows its bounds to be set larger (or smaller) than the total of the column minimum or maximum, meaning, either that there will not be enough room to display all of the columns, or that the columns will not fill the JTable's bounds. These respectively, result in the clipping of some columns or an area being painted in the JTable's background color during painting.

The mechanism for distributing the delta amongst the available columns is provided in a private method in the JTable class:

   adjustSizes(long targetSize, final Resizable3 r, boolean inverse)
 

an explanation of which is provided in the following section. Resizable3 is a private interface that allows any data structure containing a collection of elements with a size, preferred size, maximum size and minimum size to have its elements manipulated by the algorithm.

Distributing the delta

Overview

Call "DELTA" the difference between the target size and the sum of the preferred sizes of the elements in r. The individual sizes are calculated by taking the original preferred sizes and adding a share of the DELTA - that share being based on how far each preferred size is from its limiting bound (minimum or maximum).

Definition

Call the individual constraints min[i], max[i], and pref[i].

Call their respective sums: MIN, MAX, and PREF.

Each new size will be calculated using:

          size[i] = pref[i] + delta[i]
 

where each individual delta[i] is calculated according to:

If (DELTA < 0) we are in shrink mode where:

                        DELTA
          delta[i] = ------------ * (pref[i] - min[i])
                     (PREF - MIN)
 

If (DELTA > 0) we are in expand mode where:

                        DELTA
          delta[i] = ------------ * (max[i] - pref[i])
                      (MAX - PREF)
 

The overall effect is that the total size moves that same percentage, k, towards the total minimum or maximum and that percentage guarantees accomodation of the required space, DELTA.

Details

Naive evaluation of the formulae presented here would be subject to the aggregated rounding errors caused by doing this operation in finite precision (using ints). To deal with this, the multiplying factor above, is constantly recalculated and this takes account of the rounding errors in the previous iterations. The result is an algorithm that produces a set of integers whose values exactly sum to the supplied targetSize, and does so by spreading the rounding errors evenly over the given elements.

When the MAX and MIN bounds are hit

When targetSize is outside the [MIN, MAX] range, the algorithm sets all sizes to their appropriate limiting value (maximum or minimum).

 boolean showPrintDialog,
 PrintRequestAttributeSet attr,
 boolean interactive)
 throws PrinterException,
 HeadlessException

Print this JTable. Takes steps that the majority of developers would take in order to print a JTable. In short, it prepares the table, calls getPrintable to fetch an appropriate Printable, and then sends it to the printer.

A boolean parameter allows you to specify whether or not a printing dialog is displayed to the user. When it is, the user may use the dialog to change printing attributes or even cancel the print. Another parameter allows for printing attributes to be specified directly. This can be used either to provide the initial values for the print dialog, or to supply any needed attributes when the dialog is not shown.

A second boolean parameter allows you to specify whether or not to perform printing in an interactive mode. If true, a modal progress dialog, with an abort option, is displayed for the duration of printing . This dialog also prevents any user action which may affect the table. However, it can not prevent the table from being modified by code (for example, another thread that posts updates using SwingUtilities.invokeLater). It is therefore the responsibility of the developer to ensure that no other code modifies the table in any way during printing (invalid modifications include changes in: size, renderers, or underlying data). Printing behavior is undefined when the table is changed during printing.

If false is specified for this parameter, no dialog will be displayed and printing will begin immediately on the event-dispatch thread. This blocks any other events, including repaints, from being processed until printing is complete. Although this effectively prevents the table from being changed, it doesn't provide a good user experience. For this reason, specifying false is only recommended when printing from an application with no visible GUI.

Note: Attempting to show the printing dialog or run interactively, while in headless mode, will result in a HeadlessException.

Before fetching the printable, this method prepares the table in order to get the most desirable printed result. If the table is currently in an editing mode, it terminates the editing as gracefully as possible. It also ensures that the the table's current selection and focused cell are not indicated in the printed output. This is handled on the view level, and only for the duration of the printing, thus no notification needs to be sent to the selection models.

See getPrintable(javax.swing.JTable.PrintMode, java.text.MessageFormat, java.text.MessageFormat) for further description on how the table is printed.

Parameters:

printMode - the printing mode that the printable should use

headerFormat - a MessageFormat specifying the text to be used in printing a header, or null for none

footerFormat - a MessageFormat specifying the text to be used in printing a footer, or null for none

showPrintDialog - whether or not to display a print dialog

attr - a PrintRequestAttributeSet specifying any printing attributes, or null for none

interactive - whether or not to print in an interactive mode

Returns:

true, unless printing is cancelled by the user

Throws:

PrinterException - if an error in the print system causes the job to be aborted

HeadlessException - if the method is asked to show a printing dialog or run interactively, and GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless returns true

Since:

1.5

getPrintable

 
public PrintablegetPrintable ( JTable.PrintMode printMode,
 MessageFormat headerFormat,
 MessageFormat footerFormat) 

Return a Printable for use in printing this JTable.

The Printable can be requested in one of two printing modes. In both modes, it spreads table rows naturally in sequence across multiple pages, fitting as many rows as possible per page. PrintMode.NORMAL specifies that the table be printed at its current size. In this mode, there may be a need to spread columns across pages in a similar manner to that of the rows. When the need arises, columns are distributed in an order consistent with the table's ComponentOrientation. PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH specifies that the output be scaled smaller, if necessary, to fit the table's entire width (and thereby all columns) on each page. Width and height are scaled equally, maintaining the aspect ratio of the output.

The Printable heads the portion of table on each page with the appropriate section from the table's JTableHeader, if it has one.

Header and footer text can be added to the output by providing MessageFormat arguments. The printing code requests Strings from the formats, providing a single item which may be included in the formatted string: an Integer representing the current page number.

You are encouraged to read the documentation for MessageFormat as some characters, such as single-quote, are special and need to be escaped.

Here's an example of creating a MessageFormat that can be used to print "Duke's Table: Page - " and the current page number:

 // notice the escaping of the single quote
 // notice how the page number is included with "{0}"
 MessageFormat format = new MessageFormat("Duke''s Table: Page - {0}");
 

The Printable constrains what it draws to the printable area of each page that it prints. Under certain circumstances, it may find it impossible to fit all of a page's content into that area. In these cases the output may be clipped, but the implementation makes an effort to do something reasonable. Here are a few situations where this is known to occur, and how they may be handled by this particular implementation:

• In any mode, when the header or footer text is too wide to fit completely in the printable area -- print as much of the text as possible starting from the beginning, as determined by the table's ComponentOrientation.
• In any mode, when a row is too tall to fit in the printable area -- print the upper-most portion of the row and paint no lower border on the table.
• In PrintMode.NORMAL when a column is too wide to fit in the printable area -- print the center portion of the column and leave the left and right borders off the table.

It is entirely valid for this Printable to be wrapped inside another in order to create complex reports and documents. You may even request that different pages be rendered into different sized printable areas. The implementation must be prepared to handle this (possibly by doing its layout calculations on the fly). However, providing different heights to each page will likely not work well with PrintMode.NORMAL when it has to spread columns across pages.

It is important to note that this Printable prints the table at its current visual state, using the table's existing renderers. Before calling this method, you may wish to first modify the state of the table (such as to change the renderers, cancel editing, or hide the selection).

You must not, however, modify the table in any way after this Printable is fetched (invalid modifications include changes in: size, renderers, or underlying data). The behavior of the returned Printable is undefined once the table has been changed.

Here's a simple example that calls this method to fetch a Printable, shows a cross-platform print dialog, and then prints the Printable unless the user cancels the dialog:

 // prepare the table for printing here first (for example, hide selection)

 // wrap in a try/finally so table can be restored even if something fails
 try {
 // fetch the printable
 Printable printable = table.getPrintable(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH,
 new MessageFormat("My Table"),
 new MessageFormat("Page - {0}"));

 // fetch a PrinterJob
 PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

 // set the Printable on the PrinterJob
 job.setPrintable(printable);

 // create an attribute set to store attributes from the print dialog
 PrintRequestAttributeSet attr = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();

 // display a print dialog and record whether or not the user cancels it
 boolean printAccepted = job.printDialog(attr);

 // if the user didn't cancel the dialog
 if (printAccepted) {
 // do the printing (may need to handle PrinterException)
 job.print(attr);
 }
 } finally {
 // restore the original table state here (for example, restore selection)
 }
 

Parameters:

printMode - the printing mode that the printable should use

headerFormat - a MessageFormat specifying the text to be used in printing a header, or null for none

footerFormat - a MessageFormat specifying the text to be used in printing a footer, or null for none

Returns:

a Printable for printing this JTable

1.5
