Question

How do I import a CSV file using OpenOffice.org APIs? I want to do this using the same functionality that is also provided when I open the same file using ‘CVS text’ filter.

This is the solution that really works:

XComponentContext xLocalContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap(); XMultiComponentFactory xLocalServiceManager = xLocalContext.getServiceManager(); Object desktop = xLocalServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext('com.sun.star.frame.Desktop', xLocalContext); XComponentLoader xComponentLoader = (XComponentLoader) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponentLoader.class, desktop); PropertyValue[] mypv = new PropertyValue[3]; mypv[0] = new PropertyValue(); mypv[0].Name = new String('FilterName'); mypv[0].Value = new String('Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)'); mypv[1] = new PropertyValue(); mypv[1].Name = 'Hidden'; mypv[1].Value = new Boolean(false); mypv[1] = new PropertyValue(); mypv[1].Name = 'CharacterSet'; mypv[1].Value = 'UTF-8'; mypv[2] = new PropertyValue(); mypv[2].Name = 'FilterOptions'; mypv[2].Value = '59,34,0,1,1/1/2/1/3/5'; String internalFile = ExternalUriReferenceTranslator.create(xLocalContext).translateToInternal('file://' + csvFile.getAbsolutePath()); XComponent comp = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL(internalFile, '_parent', 0, mypv);
