I’m using answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/5820366 and http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/table-column-adjuster/ and it works, but frequently columns’ sizes are too wide or too narrow.
No matter filling my table with HTML or text.
Using standard TableModel from oracle documentation.
Resize mode = JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF
Container of my tabel is jGoodies:
FormLayout currentEventLayout = new FormLayout(
"fill:p",
"pref, pref");
PanelBuilder currentEventBuilder = new PanelBuilder(currentEventLayout);
currentEventBuilder.add(mainQuotesTable.getTableHeader(), constraints.xy(1, 1));
currentEventBuilder.add(mainQuotesTable, constraints.xy(1, 2));
HTML example:
"<html><pre><font size=+1 face='Arial'>" + firstValue + "\n" + secondValue + "</font></pre></html>"
simple row:
firstValue + " - " + secondValue
Here is the example:
public class TableAdjustExample {
private static JTable mainTable;
private static Random random = new Random();
private static List<Data> data;
private static class Data {
String name;
String surname;
private Data(String name, String surname) {
this.name = name;
this.surname = surname;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
data = stubProvider();
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("table adjust example");
frame.add(createUI());
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setSize(350, 400);
frame.setVisible(true);
update();
java.util.Timer timer = new java.util.Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
update();
}
}, 3000, 3000);
}
private static JPanel createUI() {
JPanel jPanel = new JPanel();
mainTable = new JTable(2, 3);
mainTable.setModel(new AbstractTableModel() {
@Override
public int getRowCount() {
return data.size();
}
@Override
public int getColumnCount() {
return 2;
}
@Override
public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
Data dataItem = data.get(rowIndex);
if (columnIndex == 0) {
return dataItem.name;
}
if (columnIndex == 1) {
return dataItem.surname;
}
throw new IllegalStateException();
}
});
mainTable.setGridColor(Color.black);
mainTable.setShowHorizontalLines(false);
mainTable.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
final TableCellRenderer defaultRenderer = mainTable.getTableHeader().getDefaultRenderer();
mainTable.getTableHeader().setDefaultRenderer(new TableCellRenderer() {
@Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable jTable, Object o, boolean b, boolean b1, int row, int column) {
JLabel parent = (JLabel) defaultRenderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(jTable, o, b, b1, row, column);
if (column == 0) {
parent.setText("name");
} else {
parent.setText("surname");
}
return parent;
}
});
jPanel.add(mainTable.getTableHeader());
jPanel.add(mainTable);
return jPanel;
}
private static void update() {
System.out.println("updating");
data = stubProvider();
adjustJTableRowSizes(mainTable);
for (int i = 0; i < mainTable.getColumnCount(); i++) {
adjustColumnSizes(mainTable, i, 2);
}
}
private static void adjustJTableRowSizes(JTable jTable) {
for (int row = 0; row < jTable.getRowCount(); row++) {
int maxHeight = 0;
for (int column = 0; column < jTable.getColumnCount(); column++) {
TableCellRenderer cellRenderer = jTable.getCellRenderer(row, column);
Object valueAt = jTable.getValueAt(row, column);
Component tableCellRendererComponent = cellRenderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(jTable, valueAt, false, false, row, column);
int heightPreferable = tableCellRendererComponent.getPreferredSize().height;
maxHeight = Math.max(heightPreferable, maxHeight);
}
jTable.setRowHeight(row, maxHeight);
}
}
public static void adjustColumnSizes(JTable table, int column, int margin) {
DefaultTableColumnModel colModel = (DefaultTableColumnModel) table.getColumnModel();
TableColumn col = colModel.getColumn(column);
int width;
TableCellRenderer renderer = col.getHeaderRenderer();
if (renderer == null) {
renderer = table.getTableHeader().getDefaultRenderer();
}
JLabel comp = (JLabel) renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(
table, col.getHeaderValue(), false, false, 0, 0);
width = comp.getPreferredSize().width;
for (int r = 0; r < table.getRowCount(); r++) {
renderer = table.getCellRenderer(r, column);
comp = (JLabel) renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(
table, table.getValueAt(r, column), false, false, r, column);
int currentWidth = comp.getPreferredSize().width;
width = Math.max(width, currentWidth);
}
width += 2 * margin;
col.setPreferredWidth(width);
}
private static List<Data> stubProvider() {
List<Data> data = new ArrayList<Data>();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
data.add(new Data(
"<html>" +
"<div style='font-size: 15px'>Jason</div>" +
"<div style='font-size: 15px'>" + random.nextInt() + "</div>" +
"</html>",
"Statham " + random.nextInt()));
}
return data;
}
}
I have such problem with row height adjustment. Using of <pre>\n</pre> instead of <br> fixed row adjustment.
Seems to be working okay for me…
UPDATED
There are a number of issues with your example.
JScrollPane, this will take care of adding the header…JPanelisFlowLayout, in this case, it’s probably not what you want, you probably want to use aBorderLayoutjava.util.Timerwill violate this policy, this could cause the model and view to fall out sync. Use ajavax.swing.Timerinstead.<div>next to each will cause the html layout engine to place a weak break between the elements. That is, if the engine decides there’s not enough available space to render the two elements together, it will split them. Better to use a single<div>with two<span>tags instead…I would have a read of
