Question

I am doing a project in java swing in which I have to use a JTable.
By default jtable can validate the inputs (float,int) by turning into red when wrong input is given.
But I want to validate the empty cell left in the table at the time of save button click.

Here is my code:

public boolean validCheck() {

    if (jTable.getCellEditor() != null) {
        jTable.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < jTable3.getRowCount(); i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < jTable3.getColumnCount(); j++) {
             String val = jTable3.getValueAt(row, col).toString();

             if (val.trim().length() == 0) {
                return false;(joptionpane.showmessagedialog(null,"field empty");)
             }
        }
    }

    return true;
}

This code is checking all the rows in the table and displaying the field empty message. I need to check only filled rows(rows which have data) not all the rows in the jtable.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

You need to change your logic to first look if a row had data at all. Then (and only then), take a second pass to validate that all columns in that row are filled.
