as I read that not possible to Encode my Navajo language

finging the way how to only alternate/striped Color into JTable (example @camickr)

I have a JTable which contains some market trades (better for understanding by reason my poor English skills), but some of deals has only one leg, but another (for example vanilla Cross Currency Swap) could have two legs. How is possible to hightlighting TableRows based on value from specifics TableColumn (for example last column with name DealId). I tried to check row with row - 1 && row + 1, but my empty head generated lots of codesRow, to much for idea how to stop complicated simple simple things, how to check if there exist duplicate value in another row (always with strict ordering as captured in the pictures). No idea how to implements simple formula for that

Edit:

how to set Alignment for TableCell into prepareRenderer,

Answer 1

how to set Alignment for TableCell into prepareRenderer,

This should NOT be done in the prepareRenderer code. This property should be set in the renderer for the class or for the column because it only applies to a specific class or renderer. Instead use:

table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
DefaultTableCellRenderer stringRenderer = (DefaultTableCellRenderer)table.getDefaultRenderer(String.class);
stringRenderer.setHorizontalAlignment( SwingConstants.CENTER );

For the highlighting code I used code that assumes that the dealld value is unique for a given set of transactions:

        private Map<Object, Color> rowColor = new HashMap<Object, Color>();
        private Color nextColor = Color.ORANGE;

        @Override
        public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column) {
            Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);
            JComponent jc = (JComponent) c;

            if (isRowSelected(row)) return c;

            Object value = table.getValueAt(row, 7);
            Color background = rowColor.get(value);

            if (background != null)
            {
                c.setBackground( background );
            }
            else
            {
                rowColor.put(value, nextColor);
                c.setBackground( nextColor );
                nextColor = (nextColor == Color.ORANGE) ? Color.YELLOW : Color.ORANGE;
            }

            return c;
        }

Note: It won’t work if sorting is required.

Here is another approach that should work even if sorting is required (but I didn’t test it with sorting);

        @Override
        public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column) {
            Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);
            JComponent jc = (JComponent) c;
            if (!isRowSelected(row))
            {
                c.setBackground(getRowBackground(row));
            }

            return c;
        }

        private Color getRowBackground(int row)
        {
            boolean isDark = true;

            Object previous = getValueAt(0, 7);

            for (int i = 1; i <= row; i++)
            {
                Object current = getValueAt(i, 7);

                if (! current.equals(previous))
                {
                    isDark = !isDark;
                    previous = current;
                }
            }

            return isDark ? Color.ORANGE : Color.YELLOW;
        }
