Trouble with Java's Vector's and JTable - java

I'm tinkering with JTables and Vectors for the first time in Java, and I've hit an interesting snag. My code compiles correctly, but when I go to run it, I get the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Vector
I don't see anywhere where I'm casting, so I'm a bit confused.
Vector<String> columnNames = new Vector<String>();
columnNames.add("Tasks");
Vector<String> testing = new Vector<String>();
testing.add("one");
testing.add("two");
testing.add("three");
table = new JTable(testing, columnNames); // Line where the error occurrs.
scrollingArea = new JScrollPane(table);
My goal is to have a table of JPanels, but I have the same type of error when I try to use a Vector of < taskPanel > Here's the class that extends JPanel:
class taskPanel extends JPanel
{
JLabel repeat, command, timeout, useGD;
public taskPanel()
{
repeat = new JLabel("Repeat:");
command = new JLabel("Command:");
timeout = new JLabel("Timeout:");
useGD = new JLabel("Update Google Docs:");
add(repeat);
add(command);
add(timeout);
add(useGD);
}
}

You need to use a Vector of Vectors here:
Vector<Vector> rowData = new Vector<Vector>();
rowData.addElement(testing);
JTable table = new JTable(rowData, columnNames);
For a multi-column Vector table model, see this example.

Your testing vector should be vector of vectors as each row is supposed to contain data for all columns e.g.
Vector<Vector> testing = new Vector<Vector>();
Vector<String> rowOne = new Vector<String>();
rowOne.add("one");
Vector<String> rowTwo = new Vector<String>();
rowTwo.add("two");
Vector<String> rowThree = new Vector<String>();
rowThree.add("three");
testing.add(rowOne);
testing.add(rowTwo);
testing.add(rowThree);
table = new JTable(testing, columnNames); // should work now
scrollingArea = new JScrollPane(table);

The casting is the < String >. You can't have Vector Strings at the moment. Take a look at this.

Searching ArrayList using JTable and JButton

I have an ArrayList holding football matches and when the user types a date and presses "search" button, a new JTable opens showing you all matches played on that day. I have looped to get the date and compared it to the input inside the JTextField but it just gives me an empty table even if there is a record of a match played on the date the user enters. In this code below, I am just using hitting enter on JTextField to execute search because I do not know how to map JTextField to JButton. I have tried but it just prints the search Jbutton name.
public void searchMatch(ArrayList<Matches> searchMatch, String e)
{
DefaultTableModel searchModel = new DefaultTableModel();
for(int i = 0; i < searchMatch.size(); i++)
{
if(searchMatch.get(i).getM_date().equals(e))
{
System.out.println(searchMatch.get(i).getM_date());
String date = searchMatch.get(i).getM_date();
String teamName = searchMatch.get(i).getM_teamName();
String teamName2 = searchMatch.get(i).getM_teamName2();
int goalsScoredTeam1 = searchMatch.get(i).getGoalsTeam1();
int goalsScoredTeam2 = searchMatch.get(i).getGoalsTeam2();
Object[] row = {teamName, teamName2, goalsScoredTeam1, goalsScoredTeam2,date};
searchModel.addRow(row);
JTable searchTable = new JTable(searchModel);
searchTable.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
JPanel searchPanel = new JPanel();
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(searchTable);
searchPanel.add(scrollPane);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Searched Matches");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
searchTable.setOpaque(true);
frame.setContentPane(searchPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setSize(500, 500);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
}
DefaultTableModel searchModel = new DefaultTableModel();
You TableModel has no columns to display.
Even though you add rows of data, none of the data can be displayed unless you also have defined the "column names" for the TableModel.
Your code should be something like:
String columnNames = { "Date", "Name", "..." };
DefaultTableModel searchModel = new DefaultTableModel(columnNames, 0);
Which will create an empty TableModel with just the column names. Your looping code will then add each row of data.
Note, you should also look at storing all the data in your TableModel and then just filter the TableModel. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Sorting and Filtering for a working example.

How to change column model of my TableModel dynamically

I have a simple Java Desktop application that show a JTable with a custom TableModel.
In base of a boolean variables, I want to show a Table with different column.
But I'm not able to do this.
This is my code:
static String[] ColName = { "Cod.Articolo","Nome Articolo","Cod.Barre", "Qtà.iniziale","Scontrini(-)","Bolla(-)","Fattura(-)","DDT(-)","NC(+)","Carico(+)"};
static String[] ColNameNero = { "Cod.Articolo","Nome Articolo","Cod.Barre", "Qtà.iniziale","Scontrini(-)","Scontrini Nero(-)","Bolla(-)","Fattura(-)","DDT(-)","NC(+)","Carico(+)"};
public void creaTabellaMerci(boolean isNero){
try{
if(isNero)
tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci = new MyTableModelMovimentiMagazzinoMerci(ColNameNero,isNero);
else
tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci = new MyTableModelMovimentiMagazzinoMerci(ColName,isNero);
tableMovimentiMerci = new DefaultTableCustom(tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci);
sorter = new TableRowSorter<MyTableModelMovimentiMagazzinoMerci>(tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci);
tableMovimentiMerci.setRowSorter(sorter);
jScrollPaneAmministrazione = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
jScrollPaneAmministrazione.setViewportView(tableMovimentiMerci);
jScrollPaneAmministrazione.setPreferredSize(dTabella2);
jScrollPaneAmministrazione.getViewport().add(tableMovimentiMerci);
tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci.fireTableDataChanged();
tableMovimentiMerci.repaint();
}catch(Exception e){
log.logStackTrace(e);
}
}
Now at first time, I call the method with variables isNero = true. At the second time, I call the same method with variables isNero = false but the columns not changes.
How can I fix it ?
jScrollPaneAmministrazione = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
You create a new JScrollPane, but you never add the scroll pane to the frame. Changing the value of the reference variable does NOT add the component to the frame.
Don't create a new JTable or JScrollPane!
Instead you can just update the TableModel of the table that is currently display on the frame:
//tableMovimentiMerci = new DefaultTableCustom(tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci);
tableMovimentiMerci.setModel( tableMovementiMagazzinoMerci );
sorter = new TableRowSorter<MyTableModelMovimentiMagazzinoMerci>(tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci);
tableMovimentiMerci.setRowSorter(sorter);
//jScrollPaneAmministrazione = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
//jScrollPaneAmministrazione.setViewportView(tableMovimentiMerci);
//jScrollPaneAmministrazione.setPreferredSize(dTabella2);
//jScrollPaneAmministrazione.getViewport().add(tableMovimentiMerci);
//tableMovimentiMagazzinoMerci.fireTableDataChanged();
//tableMovimentiMerci.repaint();

JTable repeats one row

I created a JTable and inserted the column header and data into the table.
data is vector of vectors
column_header is vector of string
This is the code:
Vector<Diagnosis_data> Arraylist_object = new Vector<Diagnosis_data>();
Vector<Vector<Object>> data = new Vector<Vector<Object>>();
Diagnosis_data d1 = new Diagnosis_data("92992","1",1422-09-09,1422-09-18,E11.9,"Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications");
Diagnosis_data d2 = new Diagnosis_data("8199111","2",1415-09-09,1415-09-18,E11.622,"Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other skin ulcer");
Arraylist_object.add(d1);
Arraylist_object.add(d2);
int f = 0;
while(f < Arraylist_object.size())
{
Vector<Object> vector = new Vector<Object>();
for(; f < Arraylist_object.size() ; f++)
{
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(f).patient_ID);
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(f).Ad_ID);
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(f).Ad_start);
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(f).Ad_End);
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(f).Diagnosis_code);
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(f).Diagnosis_Des);
data.add(vector);
}
}
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(data,column_header);
JTable table_2 = new JTable(tableModel);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table_2);
scrollPane.setBounds(1, 1, 1050, 500);
panel_1.add(scrollPane);
The result is:
The code you posted is working given the correct data - the problem must be the data. Use a debugger to check it or, just for testing, print out the content of data.
Probably the same Vector is being added to data multiple times or the content of each Vector is same (maybe the Patient object is using static fields?)
Note: data I used to test your code - a new Vector must be created for each row:
Vector<Vector<?>> data = new Vector<>();
Vector<String> column_header = new Vector<>();
column_header.addAll(Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C"));
Vector<String> row;
row = new Vector<>();
row.addAll(Arrays.asList("11", "12", "13"));
data.add(row);
row = new Vector<>();
row.addAll(Arrays.asList("21", "22", "23"));
data.add(row);
row = new Vector<>();
row.addAll(Arrays.asList("31", "32", "33"));
data.add(row);
EDIT: After the generating data code has been added, it is clear that the problem is, as I suspected above: "the same Vector is being added".
Look at this part:
Vector<Object> vector = new Vector<Object>();
for(; f < Arraylist_object.size() ; f++)
{
vector.add(...);
data.add(vector);
}
The vector is created only once OUTSIDE the loop, but being added multiple time inside the loop.
Solution: create the vector INSIDE the loop
And there is no need for the additional while, actually the convention is to declare the variable in the for loop (and use i as counter):
for(int i = 0; i < Arraylist_object.size() ; i++)
{
Vector<Object> vector = new Vector<Object>();
vector.add(Arraylist_object.get(i).patient_ID);
...
data.add(vector);
}
or use foreach:
for (Diagnosis_data diagnosis : Arraylist_object)
{
Vector<Object> vector = ...
vector.add(diagnosis.patient_ID);
vector.add(diagnosis.Ad_ID);
...
}
 
Advice: spend some time learning to use a debugger, it will not be wasted if you want to do serious programming.

Add different JLists to cell renderer in JTable

I'm able to create a JTable with cells rendered to use JList. What I don't know to do is to create different lists to add to cells.
This is my code right now
Vector<String> categoryReportColumnNames = new Vector<>();
categoryReportColumnNames.add("Categorías");
categoryReportColumnNames.add("Ítems");
Vector<Vector<String>> categoryReportVector = controller.getCategoryReportVector();
VectorTableCellRenderer renderer = new VectorTableCellRenderer();
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(categoryReportVector, categoryReportColumnNames);
jCategoryReportTable.setModel(tableModel);
jCategoryReportTable.setEnabled(false);
for (int i = 0 ; i < categoryReportVector.size() ; i++){
Vector<String> categoryItems = controller.getCategoryItems(i);
renderer.setListData(categoryItems);
jCategoryReportTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(renderer);
}
jCategoryReport.setVisible(true);
Where should I send a Vector, for example, to change JList items for each row?
Thanks
It can do better way as follows. You should not set the renderer within a loop. Only thing you should create the data vector correctly.
Modifications of your code
//create table columns
Vector<String> categoryReportColumnNames = new Vector<>();
categoryReportColumnNames.add("Categorías");
categoryReportColumnNames.add("Ítems");
//create table data
Vector<Vector> categoryReportVector = controller.getDataVector();
//setting the tabel model
DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(categoryReportVector, categoryReportColumnNames);
jCategoryReportTable.setModel(tableModel);
//setting the table renderer
VectorTableCellRenderer renderer = new VectorTableCellRenderer();
jCategoryReportTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setCellRenderer(renderer);
//additional modifications
jCategoryReportTable.setEnabled(false);
jCategoryReportTable.setRowHeight(100);
Create Data Vector as follows.
Use loops and create your own code referring this
public Vector<Vector> getDataVector() {
Vector rowOne = new Vector<String>();
rowOne.add("Row1-Column1");
Vector rowOneCategories = new Vector();
rowOneCategories.add("Row1-Column2-Line1");
rowOneCategories.add("Row1-Column2-Line2");
rowOneCategories.add("Row1-Column2-Line3");
rowOne.add(rowOneCategories);
Vector rowTwo = new Vector<String>();
rowTwo.add("Row2-Column1");
Vector rowTwoCategories = new Vector();
rowTwoCategories.add("Row2-Column2-Line1");
rowTwoCategories.add("Row2-Column2-Line2");
rowTwoCategories.add("Row2-Column2-Line3");
rowTwo.add(rowTwoCategories);
Vector<Vector> rowData = new Vector<Vector>();
rowData.add(rowOne);
rowData.add(rowTwo);
return rowData;
}

Re-Using JTableHeader

The code below displays 2 JTables.
As they both will have exactly the same headers I wanted, for the sake of efficiency, to reuse the header from the first table.
However running the code results in the header appearing in the second table but not in the table it came from originally.
I am less interested in work-arounds, but - for the sake of learning and understanding - more interested in finding out why the header does not appear in the first table.
Here is the code:
public class HeaderTest1 {
public void doTheTest() {
JFrame testFrame = new JFrame("Header Test");
JPanel pane = new JPanel();
Container theContentPane = testFrame.getContentPane();
BoxLayout box = new BoxLayout(pane, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
pane.setLayout(box);
theContentPane.add(pane);
String theData[][]
= {
{"One", "two", "3"},
{"four", "5", "six"},
{"7", "8", "9.0"},
{"£10.00", "11", "twelve"}
};
String columnNames[] = {"Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3"};
JTable firstTable = new JTable(theData, columnNames);
JScrollPane thisScrollPane = new JScrollPane(firstTable);
JTableHeader thisTableHeader = firstTable.getTableHeader();
pane.add(thisScrollPane);
buildTheSecondTable(thisTableHeader, firstTable, columnNames, pane);
testFrame.pack();
testFrame.setVisible(true);
}
private void buildTheSecondTable(JTableHeader headerFromTheFirstTable,
JTable firstTable, String[] columnNames, JPanel pane) {
JTable secondTable = new JTable();
int columnCount = columnNames.length;
JScrollPane thisScrollPane = new JScrollPane(secondTable);
secondTable.setTableHeader(headerFromTheFirstTable);
Object[][] emptyData = new Object[1][columnCount];
for (int n = 0; n < columnCount; n++) {
emptyData[0][n] = "";
}
DefaultTableModel thisTableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
thisTableModel.setDataVector(emptyData, columnNames);
secondTable.setModel(thisTableModel);
secondTable.setLayout(firstTable.getLayout());
secondTable.setCellEditor(firstTable.getCellEditor());
pane.add(thisScrollPane);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, ParseException {
HeaderTest thisTest = new HeaderTest();
thisTest.doTheTest();
}
Any advice would be appreciated
A Swing component can only have a single parent so you can't share the table header component.
You can however share the Array of column names:
JTable firstTable = new JTable(theData, columnNames);
In your buildTheSecondTable method you have access to the array of column names so just use:
//DefaultTableModel thisTableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
DefaultTableModel thisTableModel = new DefaultTableModel(columnNames);
Then you can add data to the model and the model to the table.
Then reorder the code to create the JScrollPane after you add the model to the table.
Also, get rid of the table.setLayout() code. You would never use a layout manager on a table. You don't add components to the table. The table renders the data itself without using real components.
