Populating JTable with 2 arrays (Netbeans)

Hi,

I have the following issue:

In Netbeans IDE (6.8) I created JTable - name: tblInput; 2 columns, 0 rows, not resizable, not editable, data type - Float.
In Inspector panel I see that JTable is included in JScrollPane.

I also created 2 ArrayLists and converted to arrays:

Code:

---

ArrayList<Float> data1 = new ArrayList<Float>();
ArrayList<Float> data2 = new ArrayList<Float>();

{here code for populating ArratLists}

Object d1[]=data1.toArray();
Object d2[]=data2.toArray();

---

Now I try to populate (and display) jTable where col1->d1[], col2->d2

My code for this part is:

Code:

---

  DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel();
  tblInput=new JTable(model);
  for (int d=0;d<d1.length;d++){
      model.setRowCount(model.getRowCount()+1);
      model.addRow(new Object[]{d1[d],d2[d]});
      }

---

When I run the application I do not obtain any errors or Exceptions, but the JTable is still empty. Should I somehow "repaint" JTable component? I am quite new to Java so that I assume it can be the issue of the code above. Or maybe I should do sth with JScrollPane as well?

It's hard to tell what is wrong based on the information at hand. My guess is that while it's likely that the jtable object that you're creating with the new default table model and the jtable that is being displayed used the same JTable variable, the JTable objects themselves are different.

My recommendation to you is to create the simplest program possible that compiles and that reproduces your error. I also recommend that you try to do this without NetBeans generated code so that the code is readable by others should you post it here.

Sorry - I really wanted to make a "core" app without IDE builder, but in the meantime I found a solution to my problem and corrected it in NetBeans directly:

It was enough to change code:

Code:

---

DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel();
tblInput=new JTable(model);
for (int d=0;d<d1.length;d++){
  model.setRowCount(model.getRowCount()+1);
  model.addRow(new Object[]{d1[d],d2[d]});
  }

---

Into following one:

Code:

---

DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)tblInput.getModel();
for (int d=0;d<d1.length;d++)
  model.addRow(new Object[]{d1[d], d2[d]});

---

And it works perfectly :).

I will add entire method (still from Netbeans though) with some description in next post to this thread - maybe somebody will utilize it in future.

As promised:
The following method is the actionPerformed for clicking a button, which:
-opens a txt file (which has some format, and contains 3 "columns" of "tokens" in some lines)
- changes the label lblPath - into name of the file
- populates JTable (x,2)

Code:

---

private void btnOpenActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                       

            chooser = new JFileChooser();
            int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
            File file1 = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            String nextLine = "";
            String FileName = file1.getName();
           
            //lineCount will be used only for cutting some crappy text at the beginning of the text file
            Integer lineCount=0;

            ArrayList<Float> data1 = new ArrayList<Float>();
            ArrayList<Float> data2 = new ArrayList<Float>();

            if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                lblPath.setText(FileName);

              try {
                FileReader fr = new FileReader(file1);
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
                while((nextLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    lineCount++;

          //the "if" statement was needed here 'cause in my file I have some unnecessary lines at the beginning and at the end of the file - in normalized file this statement would be skipped

                    if ((lineCount>8)&&(!nextLine.trim().startsWith("=")))
                        {
                                String[] theline = nextLine.trim().split(" +");
                                data1.add(Float.parseFloat(theline[0]));
                                data2.add(Float.parseFloat(theline[1]));
    } }
}
  catch(FileNotFoundException fN) {
    fN.printStackTrace();
  }
  catch(IOException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
}

  //I did not find any possibility to use ArrayList in model.addRow method so I simply converted it to Object[] array

  Object d1[]=data1.toArray();
  Object d2[]=data2.toArray();

  DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)tblInput.getModel();
  for (int d=0;d<d1.length;d++)
    model.addRow(new Object[]{d1[d], d2[d]});
            }     
}
