Creating tables in java

Question

I am doing my best to just create read-only tables (blank, but ready to get column content and row names) next to a list in a java application but I still cannot figure out what's the problem with these tables

---

I get the exception

and here is the Source Package needed:

package examples;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import javax.swing.table.AbstractTableModel;

public class TableData extends AbstractTableModel
{
    //Row & Column Data
    private Object[][] values =
    {
    };
    private final String[] columnHeaders = {
      "Име", "Фамилия", "Роден(а) на", "Сума", "Пол"  
    };

    @Override
    public int getRowCount()
    {
        return values.length;
    }
    @Override
    public int getColumnCount()
    {
        return values[0].length;
    }
    @Override
    public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex)
    {
        return values[rowIndex][columnIndex];
    }
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------
}

I am almost to having my worst nightmares

Answer 1

in

TableData extends AbstractTableModel
{
    //Row & Column Data
    private Object[][] values =

where do you initialize "values"? it looks empty.

in

public int getColumnCount()
{
    return values[0].length;
}

You are trying to access values[0] without checking if there is "values[0]".
