Update JTable Content trough Textfields

Question

i'm new to programming and Java. Now for Practice i want to make a simple Adressbook. So far i can add and remove Entrys. The next thing i want to make is change values from an existing entry. I googled many Options how to do that but none works. I guess its just a simple thing i'm not able to see, cause im new to this. Here is my Code for the Swing Window:

package View;

import javax.swing.JPanel;

and this is my TableModel:

package Model;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;

public class ManlegenTModel extends AbstractTableModel{
private ArrayList<Mitarbeiter> mliste = Mitarbeiter.getMitarbeiterListe();

String [] columnNames = { "Vorname",
                           "Nachname"};

 public int getRowCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return Mitarbeiter.getMitarbeiterListe().size();
 }

@Override
public int getColumnCount() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return this.columnNames.length;
}

@Override
public String getColumnName(int col) {
    return this.columnNames[col];
}

@Override
public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
    Mitarbeiter mitarbeiter = mliste.get(row);
    switch(col) {
    case 0 : return mitarbeiter.getVorname();
    case 1 : return mitarbeiter.getNachname();
    case 2 : return mitarbeiter.getStrasse();
    case 3 : return mitarbeiter.getHausnummer();
    case 4 : return mitarbeiter.getPlz();
    case 5 : return mitarbeiter.getOrt();

}
return null;
}

 public void entfernen(int selectedRow) {
    mliste.remove(selectedRow);     
}

I hope you can help me :D. I know it might no be the cleanest and best got but i'm still a beginner an appreciate any help and suggestions.

Answer 1

Thanks for the great Help! Im now working on my little "App". Do you know any good Tutorials? Cause i want to add shop-like functions. Like choose an item from a list and then add it to a "ShoppingCart", then view the Cart and look what you added and eventualy delete it again. Like is said im realy new to this but learning more and more :D

Answer 2

Implement isCellEditable and setValuAt methods in your table model and with this you will be able to edit your data directly from the table.

@Override
public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
    return true;
}

@Override
public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
    Mitarbeiter mitarbeiter = mliste.get(row);
    switch (col) {
    case 0:
        mitarbeiter.setVorname(aValue.toString());
     //.. add other cases
    }

    fireTableCellUpdated(row, column);
}

And if you want to make changes from text fields, just keep the selected item in a member and after update button clicked, change the fields of selected item and call fireTableDataChanged();.
