JList

public class JList extends JComponent implements Scrollable, Accessible
A component that allows the user to select one or more objects from a list. A separate model, ListModel, represents the contents of the list. It's easy to display an array or vector of objects, using a JList constructor that builds a ListModel instance for you:
// Create a JList that displays the strings in data[]

String[] data = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};
JList dataList = new JList(data);

// The value of the JList model property is an object that provides
// a read-only view of the data. It was constructed automatically.

for(int i = 0; i < dataList.getModel().getSize(); i++) {
System.out.println(dataList.getModel().getElementAt(i));
}

// Create a JList that displays the superclass of JList.class.
// We store the superclasses in a java.util.Vector.

Vector superClasses = new Vector();
Class rootClass = javax.swing.JList.class;
for(Class cls = rootClass; cls != null; cls = cls.getSuperclass()) {
superClasses.addElement(cls);
}
JList classList = new JList(superClasses);

JList doesn't support scrolling directly. To create a scrolling list you make the JList the viewport view of a JScrollPane. For example:

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(dataList);
// Or in two steps:
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
scrollPane.getViewport().setView(dataList);

By default the JList selection model allows any combination of items to be selected at a time, using the constant MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION. The selection state is actually managed by a separate delegate object, an instance of ListSelectionModel. However JList provides convenient properties for managing the selection.

String[] data = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};
JList dataList = new JList(data);

dataList.setSelectedIndex(1); // select "two"
dataList.getSelectedValue(); // returns "two"

The contents of a JList can be dynamic, in other words, the list elements can change value and the size of the list can change after the JList has been created. The JList observes changes in its model with a swing.event.ListDataListener implementation. A correct implementation of ListModel notifies it's listeners each time a change occurs. The changes are characterized by a swing.event.ListDataEvent, which identifies the range of list indices that have been modified, added, or removed. Simple dynamic-content JList applications can use the DefaultListModel class to store list elements. This class implements the ListModel interface and provides the java.util.Vector API as well. Applications that need to provide custom ListModel implementations can subclass AbstractListModel, which provides basic ListDataListener support. For example:

// This list model has about 2^16 elements. Enjoy scrolling.


ListModel bigData = new AbstractListModel() {
public int getSize() { return Short.MAX_VALUE; }
public Object getElementAt(int index) { return "Index " + index; }
};

JList bigDataList = new JList(bigData);

// We don't want the JList implementation to compute the width
// or height of all of the list cells, so we give it a string
// that's as big as we'll need for any cell. It uses this to
// compute values for the fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight
// properties.

bigDataList.setPrototypeCellValue("Index 1234567890");

JList uses a java.awt.Component, provided by a delegate called the cellRendererer, to paint the visible cells in the list. The cell renderer component is used like a "rubber stamp" to paint each visible row. Each time the JList needs to paint a cell it asks the cell renderer for the component, moves it into place using setBounds() and then draws it by calling its paint method. The default cell renderer uses a JLabel component to render the string value of each component. You can substitute your own cell renderer, using code like this:

// Display an icon and a string for each object in the list.


class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
final static ImageIcon longIcon = new ImageIcon("long.gif");
final static ImageIcon shortIcon = new ImageIcon("short.gif");

// This is the only method defined by ListCellRenderer.
// We just reconfigure the JLabel each time we're called.

public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
JList list,
Object value, // value to display
int index, // cell index
boolean isSelected, // is the cell selected
boolean cellHasFocus) // the list and the cell have the focus
{
String s = value.toString();
setText(s);
setIcon((s.length() > 10) ? longIcon : shortIcon);
if (isSelected) {
setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
}
else {
setBackground(list.getBackground());
setForeground(list.getForeground());
}
setEnabled(list.isEnabled());
setFont(list.getFont());
setOpaque(true);
return this;
}
}

String[] data = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};
JList dataList = new JList(data);
dataList.setCellRenderer(new MyCellRenderer());

JList doesn't provide any special support for handling double or triple (or N) mouse clicks however it's easy to handle them using a MouseListener. Use the JList method locationToIndex() to determine what cell was clicked. For example:

final JList list = new JList(dataModel);
MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getClickCount() == 2) {
int index = list.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
System.out.println("Double clicked on Item " + index);
}
}
};
list.addMouseListener(mouseListener);
Note that in this example the dataList is final because it's referred to by the anonymous MouseListener class.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.

Methods Summary
public voidaddListSelectionListener(javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener listener)
Adds a listener to the list that's notified each time a change to the selection occurs. Listeners added directly to the JList will have their ListSelectionEvent.getSource() == this JList (instead of the ListSelectionModel).

param
listener the ListSelectionListener to add
see
#getSelectionModel
see
#getListSelectionListeners

        if (selectionListener == null) {
            selectionListener = new ListSelectionHandler();
            getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(selectionListener);
        }

        listenerList.add(ListSelectionListener.class, listener);
    
public voidaddSelectionInterval(int anchor, int lead)
Sets the selection to be the union of the specified interval with current selection. Both the anchor and lead indices are included. It's not necessary for anchor to be less than lead. This is a convenience method that just delegates to the selectionModel. The DefaultListSelectionModel implementation will do nothing if either anchor or lead are -1. If anchor or lead are less than -1, IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.

param
anchor the first index to add to the selection
param
lead the last index to add to the selection
see
ListSelectionModel#addSelectionInterval
see
#setSelectionInterval
see
#removeSelectionInterval

#addListSelectionListener
exception
IndexOutOfBoundsException if either anchor or lead are less than -1

        getSelectionModel().addSelectionInterval(anchor, lead);
    
private voidcheckScrollableParameters(java.awt.Rectangle visibleRect, int orientation)
--- The Scrollable Implementation ---

	if (visibleRect == null) {
	    throw new IllegalArgumentException("visibleRect must be non-null");
	}
        switch (orientation) {
        case SwingConstants.VERTICAL:
        case SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL:
            break;
        default:
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("orientation must be one of: VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL");
        }

#isSelectionEmpty
see
#addListSelectionListener

        getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
    
protected javax.swing.ListSelectionModelcreateSelectionModel()
Returns an instance of DefaultListSelectionModel. This method is used by the constructor to initialize the selectionModel property.

the ListSelectionModel used by this JList.
see
#setSelectionModel
see
DefaultListSelectionModel

        return new DefaultListSelectionModel();
    
public voidensureIndexIsVisible(int index)
Scrolls the viewport to make the specified cell completely visible. Note, for this method to work, the JList must be displayed within a JViewport.

param
index the index of the cell to make visible
see
JComponent#scrollRectToVisible
see
#getVisibleRect

        Rectangle cellBounds = getCellBounds(index, index);

        }
    
protected voidfireSelectionValueChanged(int firstIndex, int lastIndex, boolean isAdjusting)
Notifies JList ListSelectionListeners that the selection model has changed. It's used to forward ListSelectionEvents from the selectionModel to the ListSelectionListeners added directly to the JList.

param
firstIndex the first selected index
param
lastIndex the last selected index
param
isAdjusting true if multiple changes are being made

            }
        }
    
public javax.accessibility.AccessibleContextgetAccessibleContext()
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JList. For JLists, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJList. A new AccessibleJList instance is created if necessary.

return

see
#setDragEnabled
since
1.4

	return dragEnabled;
    
public intgetFirstVisibleIndex()
Returns the index of the first visible cell. The cell considered to be "first" depends on the list's componentOrientation property. If the orientation is horizontal left-to-right, then the first visible cell is in the list's upper-left corner. If the orientation is horizontal right-to-left, then the first visible cell is in the list's upper-right corner. If nothing is visible or the list is empty, a -1 is returned. Note that the returned cell may only be partially visible.

#setFixedCellHeight

        return fixedCellHeight;
    
public intgetFixedCellWidth()
Returns the fixed cell width value -- the value specified by setting the fixedCellWidth property, rather than that calculated from the list elements.

return
the fixed cell width
see
#setFixedCellWidth

        return fixedCellWidth;
    
public intgetLastVisibleIndex()
Returns the index of the last visible cell. The cell considered to be "last" depends on the list's componentOrientation property. If the orientation is horizontal left-to-right, then the last visible cell is in the JList's lower-right corner. If the orientation is horizontal right-to-left, then the last visible cell is in the JList's lower-left corner. If nothing is visible or the list is empty, a -1 is returned. Note that the returned cell may only be partially visible.

public java.awt.DimensiongetPreferredScrollableViewportSize()
Computes the size of the viewport needed to display visibleRowCount rows. This is trivial if fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight were specified. Note that they can be specified implicitly with the prototypeCellValue property. If fixedCellWidth wasn't specified, it's computed by finding the widest list element. If fixedCellHeight wasn't specified then we resort to heuristics:
  • If the model isn't empty we just multiply the height of the first row by visibleRowCount.
  • If the model is empty, (JList.getModel().getSize() == 0), then we just allocate 16 pixels per visible row, and 256 pixels for the width (unless fixedCellWidth was set), and hope for the best.
If the layout orientation is not VERTICAL, than this will return the value from getPreferredSize. The current ListUI is expected to override getPreferredSize to return an appropriate value.

return
a dimension containing the size of the viewport needed to display visibleRowCount rows

public intgetScrollableBlockIncrement(java.awt.Rectangle visibleRect, int orientation, int direction)
Returns the distance to scroll to expose the next or previous block. For vertical scrolling we are using the follows rules:
  • if scrolling down (direction is greater than 0), the last visible element should become the first completely visible element
  • if scrolling up, the first visible element should become the last completely visible element
  • visibleRect.height if the list is empty

For horizontal scrolling if the list is layed out horizontally (the orientation is VERTICAL_WRAP or HORIZONTAL_WRAP):

  • if scrolling right (direction is greater than 0), the last visible element should become the first completely visible element
  • if scrolling left, the first visible element should become the last completely visible element
  • visibleRect.width if the list is empty

    Return visibleRect.width if the list is layed out vertically.

    Note that the value of visibleRect must be the equal to this.getVisibleRect().

    param
    visibleRect the visible rectangle
    param
    orientation HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL
    param
    direction if <= 0, then scroll UP; if > 0, then scroll DOWN
    return
    the block increment amount.

    Sets the delegate that's used to paint each cell in the list. If prototypeCellValue was set then the fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight properties are set as well. Only one PropertyChangeEvent is generated however - for the cellRenderer property.

    The default value of this property is provided by the ListUI delegate, i.e. by the look and feel implementation.

    public voidsetDragEnabled(boolean b)
    Sets the dragEnabled property, which must be true to enable automatic drag handling (the first part of drag and drop) on this component. The transferHandler property needs to be set to a non-null value for the drag to do anything. The default value of the dragEnabled property is false.

    When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels begin a drag-and-drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over a selection and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to true can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.

    Some look and feels might not support automatic drag and drop; they will ignore this property. You can work around such look and feels by modifying the component to directly call the exportAsDrag method of a TransferHandler.

    2
    3
    
    0 1
    2 3
    
    0 2

    These correspond to the following values:

    Value

    Description

    JList.VERTICAL The cells should be layed out vertically in one column.
    JList.HORIZONTAL_WRAP The cells should be layed out horizontally, wrapping to a new row as necessary. The number of rows to use will either be defined by getVisibleRowCount if > 0, otherwise the number of rows will be determined by the width of the JList.
    JList.VERTICAL_WRAP The cells should be layed out vertically, wrapping to a new column as necessary. The number of rows to use will either be defined by getVisibleRowCount if > 0, otherwise the number of rows will be determined by the height of the JList.

    public voidsetPrototypeCellValue(java.lang.Object prototypeCellValue)
    Computes the fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight properties by configuring the cellRenderer to index equals zero for the specified value and then computing the renderer component's preferred size. These properties are useful when the list is too long to allow JList to compute the width/height of each cell and there is a single cell value that is known to occupy as much space as any of the others.

    Note that we do set the fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight properties here but only a prototypeCellValue PropertyChangeEvent is fired.
