how to use custom cell rendering in jtable for the below needs? [duplicate]

I would like to make an editable table and then check the data to make sure its valid. Im not sure how to change the color of just one cell. I would like to get a cell, for example (0,0) and color the foreground to red. I have read the other posts on SO as well as Oracle about the custom ColorRenderer, but i just don't get how i would use this.
Thanks.

Say that the cell you would like to render with a different color represents a status (I'll take Rejected and Approved as examples). I'd then implement a method in my table model called getStatus(int row) which returns the status for any given row.
Then, when that is in place, I'd go about creating a cell renderer responsible for rendering the column which the cell belongs to. The cell renderer would be something in the lines of the below code.
public class StatusColumnCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
//Cells are by default rendered as a JLabel.
JLabel l = (JLabel) super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, col);
//Get the status for the current row.
CustomTableModel tableModel = (CustomTableModel) table.getModel();
if (tableModel.getStatus(row) == CustomTableModel.APPROVED) {
l.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
} else {
l.setBackground(Color.RED);
}
//Return the JLabel which renders the cell.
return l;
}
Then, when the renderer is in place, simply "apply" the renderer to the table with the following piece of code:
Table.getColumnModel().getColumn(columnIndex).setCellRenderer(new StatusColumnCellRenderer());
With regard to making a cell editable, simply implement the isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) method in your table model. You also need to implement the method
setValueAt(Object value, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) if you would like to keep the value which the user provides (which i assume you do!).

I would like to make an editable table and then check the data to make sure its valid.
Another approach would be to edit the data before it is saved to the table model to prevent invalid data from being entered.

public class TableEdit extends JFrame
{
TableEdit()
{
JTable table = new JTable(5,5);
table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);
getContentPane().add(scrollpane);
// Use a custom editor
TableCellEditor fce = new FiveCharacterEditor();
table.setDefaultEditor(Object.class, fce);
}
class FiveCharacterEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
{
FiveCharacterEditor()
{
super( new JTextField() );
}
public boolean stopCellEditing()
{
try
{
String editingValue = (String)getCellEditorValue();
if(editingValue.length() != 5)
{
JTextField textField = (JTextField)getComponent();
textField.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.red));
textField.selectAll();
textField.requestFocusInWindow();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
null,
"Please enter string with 5 letters.",
"Alert!",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
return false;
}
}
catch(ClassCastException exception)
{
return false;
}
return super.stopCellEditing();
}
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(
JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
{
Component c = super.getTableCellEditorComponent(
table, value, isSelected, row, column);
((JComponent)c).setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.black));
return c;
}
}

frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

I believe the correct way to do colouring in a table is via a ColorHighlighter. The table renderers have problems to render different colours in the same column.
Here is an example of how to use highlighters. In this case it is for highlighting a cell that is not editable.
public class IsCellEditablePredicate implements HighlightPredicate {
private JXTable table;
public IsCellEditablePredicate (final JXTable table) {
this.table = table;
}
#Override
public boolean isHighlighted(Component component, ComponentAdapter componentAdapter) {
return !table.isCellEditable(componentAdapter.row,
componentAdapter.column);
}
}
and then in your code for setuping the table you add the highlighter and its colour parameters:
ColorHighlighter grayHighlighter = new ColorHighlighter(new IsCellEditablePredicate(table));
grayHighlighter.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
grayHighlighter.setForeground(table.getForeground());
grayHighlighter.setSelectedBackground(table.getSelectionBackground().darker());
grayHighlighter.setSelectedForeground(table.getSelectionForeground().darker());
table.setHighlighters(grayHighlighter);

This is the simplest way to color a particular Column or cell in a jTable.
First just create a simple class of CustomRenderer
class CustomRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer <br />
{
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
{
Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
setForeground(Color.blue); >
return c;
}
}
This code gets the column of cell to render
TableColumn col = tblExamHistoryAll.getColumnModel().getColumn(5);
DefaultTableModel model3 = (DefaultTableModel)tblExamHistoryAll.getModel();
col.setCellRenderer(new CustomRenderer());
This is to clear all previous rows from your table. If you do not want them just remove these lines
model3.getDataVector().removeAllElements();
model3.fireTableDataChanged();

#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int col) {
Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, col);
int control = row;
control = control % 2;
control = (control == 0) ? 1 : 0;
if (control == 1) {
c.setBackground(Color.green);
} else {
c.setBackground(Color.cyan);
}
return c;
}

The most straightforward way is to write a simple TableCellRenderer by extending the DefaultTableCellRenderer and overwriting the getTableCellRendererComponent method to setBackground( Color.RED ). For example:
final JTable table = new JTable(...);
table.setCellRenderer( new DefaultTableCellRenderer() {
public Component getTableCellRenderer(JTable table, Object value, ...) {
super.getTableCellRenderer(...);
if ( value should be highlighted ) {
setBackground( Color.RED );
}
return this;
}
});

You can extend DefaultTableCellRenderer, override getTableCellRendererComponent and call something like
if (myConditions) setBackground(myColor);
before returning "this" when conditions apply but it has a very annoying side-effect of changing the default back-color due to the way DefaultTableCellRenderer.setBackGround is coded.
The trick I found was to entirely duplicate the code of DefaultTableCellRenderer in a class named HackedDefaultTableCellRenderer, add a method that calls directly the Component's setBackground implementation:
public void setComponentBackground(Color c) {
super.setBackground(c);
}
then derive my customized rendered from this hacked class instead of from DefaultTableCellRenderer, and finally call setComponentBackground instead of setBackground in my customized getTableCellRendererComponent.
The drawback is that this HackedDefaultTableCellRenderer relies on a snapshot of DefaultTableCellRenderer.

Change the font color in a specific cell of a JTable?

Before starting, I've viewed a handful of solutions as well as documentation. I can't seem to figure out why my code isn't working the way I believe it should work. I've extended DefaultTableCellRenderer but I don't believe it is being applied - that or I messed things up somewhere.
Here are the threads / websites I've looked into before posting this question:
Swing - Is it possible to set the font color of 'specific' text within a JTable cell?
JTable Cell Renderer
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html
I realize the first link uses HTML to change the font color, but I would think the way I went about it should produce the same result.
To make it easier on those who want to help me figure out the issues, I've created an SSCCE.

} else {
//stay at default
c.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
c.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12));
}
return c;
}
}
}
My goal is to highlight any value in the version column that contains the word FAKE in a red bold text.

I've extended DefaultTableCellRenderer but I don't believe it is being applied
Some simple debugging tips:
Add a simple System.out.println(...) to the method you think should be invoked
When overriding a method, make sure you use the #Override annotation (you used it in the TableModel class, but not your renderer class).
Your problem is a typing mistake because you are not overriding the proper method:
#Override
// public Component getTableCellRenderer(...) // this is wrong
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(...)
The override annotation will display a compile message. Try it before changing the code.
Also, your first column is NOT an Integer class. Just because it contains String representations of an Integer does not make it an Integer. You need to add an Integer object to the model.

Replace your custom table cell rendere with the below.
Explanations are in comments. Basically, you should override getTableCellRendererComponent then check for correct column (there may be other methods instead of checking header value), then set cell depending on color.
Do not forget last else block to set color to default if it is not the column you want.
//Custom DefaultTableCellRenderer
public static class CustomTableRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
// You should override getTableCellRendererComponent
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected,
hasFocus, row, column);
// Check the column name, if it is "version"
if (table.getColumnName(column).compareToIgnoreCase("version") == 0) {
// You know version column includes string
String versionVal = (String) value;
if (versionVal.contains("FAKE")) {
//set to red bold font
c.setForeground(Color.RED);
c.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, 12));
} else {
//stay at default
c.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
c.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12));
}
} else {
// Here you should also stay at default
//stay at default
c.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
c.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12));
}
return c;
}

JTable Calls Custom Cell Renderer Method... Continuously

Compilable source can be found at: http://www.splashcd.com/jtable.tar
I'm new to the language, so I'm not sure if this is acceptable behavior or not.
I created a JTable to display a row for each message received (it receives about
one every 20 seconds). One of the table columns can contain a large amount of
text, so I created a custom cell renderer which word wraps and sets the row
height accordingly.
All that works as expected, except that once the table displays its first row,
it calls the cell renderer about ten times a second... until the user closes the
table.
Once I get approx 20 rows in there, the table gets fairly sluggish, taking 2-8
seconds to resize a column, scoll up or down, or render a selected row with the
selected background color.
I inserted a print statement inside the renderer, so I can see how many times
the getTableCellRendererComponent method is being called.
I disabled tool tips, and disabled all cell editing. I do have a listener that
scrolls the view to the last row when either a new row is added or the table is
resized.
Should the getTableCellRendererComponent method be called several times a second
when I'm just viewing the screen (not touching mouse or keyboard)?
TIA

To get the most performance out of a TableCellRenderer, make sure you're not creating a new instance of a component every time getTableCellRenderer is called. Make the components once and save them as fields of the class.
Also, you'll want to make sure each of the Components you use have the following methods overridden to do nothing:
validate
invalidate
revalidate
repaint
firePropertyChange
(and you probably want to hard code isOpaque).
For more information see: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/tree/DefaultTreeCellRenderer.html

The problem seems to stem from having JTable's setRowHeight() inside the custom cell renderer, as it calls the custom cell renderer, throwing it into an infinite loop.
I had to add in a check to see if the current row height matched the calculated word wrapped row height. If it did, I didnt try to setRowHeight() again.
Corrected Code:
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
//custom cell renderer for word wrapping, but if you use, you have to
//implement zebra striping functionality which the default renderer has
public class LineWrapCellRenderer extends JTextArea implements TableCellRenderer
{
private int numOfTimesCalled;
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus,
int row,
int column)
{
System.out.println("Line Wrap Cell Renderer Called: " + numOfTimesCalled++);
System.out.println("row:"+ row + ", col:" + column);
//set up the row size based on the number of newlines in the text in the cell
int fontHeight = this.getFontMetrics(this.getFont()).getHeight();
int numWraps = value.toString().split("\r\n|\r|\n").length;
int rowHeight = fontHeight * numWraps;
//if the calculated rowHeight is the same as the row height of row,
// then don't call setRowHeight again, as doing so will throw us into
// an infinite loop
if(rowHeight != table.getRowHeight(row))
{
table.setRowHeight(row, rowHeight);
//configure word wrapping
setWrapStyleWord(true);
setLineWrap(true);
//use the table's font
setFont(table.getFont());
}
//zebra striping, because whatever cell uses this renderer loses the
//default cell renderer zebra striping
if(isSelected)
{
setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
}
else
{
if(row%2 == 1)
{
setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Table.alternateRowColor"));
}
else
{
setBackground(table.getBackground());
}
}

return this;
}

JTable data is invisible unless cell is selected

I'm creating a JTable with data contained in 2 Vector, rowData and columnNames. I'm using a renderer to give the colour I want to the JTable. But data is invisible unless I click a cell: then only that cell data is visible.
My code:
// Creating table
final JTable tablaCurvas = new JTable();
// Applng colours and column sizes with renderer
TableCellRenderer tableRender = new TableRenderer();
tablaCurvas.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, tableRender);
// Create an easy model to add data to table
tablaCurvas.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(rowData, columnNames){
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Override
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
//Only the second column
return column == 1;
}
});
// Necessary clicks to edit cell
((DefaultCellEditor) tablaCurvas.getDefaultEditor(Object.class)).setClickCountToStart(1);
// Add table into a scrollPane
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(tablaCurvas);
// Fill the pane
tablaCurvas.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
// Preferred size
tablaCurvas.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(150,100));
And the renderer:
class TableRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus,
int row,
int column)
{
setEnabled(table == null || table.isEnabled());
if (column == 0)
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
else // (column == 1)
setHorizontalAlignment(RIGHT);
for (int i=0; i<2; i++) {
TableColumn columna = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
if (i==0){
columna.setPreferredWidth(150);
}
if (i==1) columna.setPreferredWidth(50);
}
setBackground(table.getBackground());
setForeground(table.getForeground());
if (row%2==1) setBackground(java.awt.Color.white);
else setBackground(new java.awt.Color(211, 217, 255));
return this;
}
Any way, appart from this, I'm finding much more difficult to learn how to use JTables than other Objects, because Oracle Tutorial is not very well explained in that chapter. Any book-chapter or online tutorial for JTables recommended?

You have to set the text for the DefaultTableCellRenderer component.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,
int column) {
//.... your code
setText(value != null ? value.toString() : ""); // suppress null values
return this;
}

How to Insert Image into JTable Cell

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to add an image into Java Table cell.

JTable already provides a default renderer for icons. You just need to tell the table what data is stored in a given column so it can choose the appropriate renderer. This is done by overriding the getColumnClass(...) method:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableIcon extends JPanel
{
public TableIcon()
{
Icon aboutIcon = new ImageIcon("about16.gif");
Icon addIcon = new ImageIcon("add16.gif");
Icon copyIcon = new ImageIcon("copy16.gif");
String[] columnNames = {"Picture", "Description"};
Object[][] data =
{
{aboutIcon, "About"},
{addIcon, "Add"},
{copyIcon, "Copy"},
};
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames)
{
// Returning the Class of each column will allow different
// renderers to be used based on Class
public Class getColumnClass(int column)
{
return getValueAt(0, column).getClass();
}
};
JTable table = new JTable( model );
table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
add( scrollPane );
}
private static void createAndShowGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Table Icon");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new TableIcon());
frame.setLocationByPlatform( true );
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible( true );
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
}

Either create the imageicon up front:
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("image.gif");
table.setValueAt(icon, row, column);
Or you can try overriding the renderer for your icon field:
static class IconRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
public IconRenderer() { super(); }
public void setValue(Object value) {
if (value == null) {
setText("");
}
else
{
setIcon(value);
}
}

1- add label to jtable ( create class for this)
class LabelRendar implements TableCellRenderer{
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
// throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
return (Component)value;
}
}
2- code jButton to add image
DefaultTableModel m = (DefaultTableModel) jTable1.getModel();
jTable1.getColumn("image").setCellRenderer(new LabelRendar()); // call class
JLabel lebl=new JLabel("hello");
lebl.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/main/bslogo120.png"))); // NOI18N
m.addRow(new Object[]{"", "","",lebl});

I created my own class that implements TableCellRenderer. I can extend this class from JLabel, but I have preferred to keep it independent and used JLabel 'label' as a class component.
public class GLabel implements TableCellRenderer{
//The JLabel that is used to display image
private final JLabel label = new JLabel();
/**
*
* #param text
* #param image
*/
public GLabel(String text, ImageIcon image) {
label.setText(text);
label.setIcon(image);
}
public GLabel(){}
public JLabel getLabel() {
return label;
}
/**
*
* #param table the JTable that is asking the renderer to draw; can be null
* #param value the value of the cell to be rendered.
* It is up to the specific renderer to interpret and draw the value.
* For example, if value is the string "true", it could be rendered as a string or it could be rendered as a check box that is checked.
* null is a valid value
* #param isSelected true if the cell is to be rendered with the selection highlighted; otherwise false
* #param hasFocus if true, render cell appropriately. For example, put a special border on the cell, if the cell can be edited, render in the color used to indicate editing
* #param row the row index of the cell being drawn. When drawing the header, the value of row is -1
* #param column the column index of the cell being drawn
* #return
*/
#Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus,
int row,
int column) {
GLabel gLabel = (GLabel)value;
return (Component) gLabel.getLabel();
}
}
I created a new DefaultTableModel object. I overrides getColumnClass() method to pass appropriate Class at runtime.
private final DefaultTableModel tblmodel = new DefaultTableModel() {
/**
* This method is called by table cell renderer.
* The method returns class of the cell data. This helps the renderer to display icons and
* other graphics in the table.
*/
#Override
public Class getColumnClass(int column)
{
for(int i = 0; i < tblmodel.getRowCount(); i++)
{
//The first valid value of a cell of given column is retrieved.
if(getValueAt(i,column) != null)
{
return getValueAt(i, column).getClass();
}
}
//if no valid value is found, default renderer is returned.
return super.getColumnClass(column);
}
};
I created JTable object using DefaultTableModel I created.
JTable jtable = new JTable(tblmodel);
I set default renderer for GLabel class
jtable.setDefaultRenderer(GLabel.class, new GLabel());
I created new GLabel object.
GLabel glabel = new GLabel("testing", new ImageIcon("c://imagepath"));
Finally, I used addRow(Object[] rowData) method of TableModel to add GLabel to the JTable.
