how to remove all rows in jtable?

Question

i have one jtable with listselectionlistener i can dynamically added the new rows in to my table,when i select the row the selected row content will be appear in text box i can able to edit and remove the data ,for my application i stored the table data into xml file,when i add new row,that will be added into table successfully. but when i select a row and update means table doesn't get update(here i call load table()).( but updated values changed in xml file correctly) this my sample code for creating table*

    ListSelectionModel selectionModel;
    JTable table1;
    model = new DefaultTableModel();
    table = new JTable(model);       table.setRowHeight(20);
    selectionModel = table.getSelectionModel();                  
    selectionModel.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);

 selectionModel.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
        public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {

            stxtBox.setText("");
            ptxtBox.setText("");
            ntxtBox.setText("");

            if (!e.getValueIsAdjusting()) {



             model1 = table.getSelectionModel();
                int lead = model1.getLeadSelectionIndex();
                int columns = table.getColumnCount();
                String sip = "";
                String sport = "";
                String snoq = "";
                for (int col = 0; col < columns; col++) {
                    Object o = table.getValueAt(lead, col);

                    if (col == 0) {
                        sip += o.toString();
                        stxtBox.setText(sip);
                        selectedip = sip;

                    } else if (col == 1) {

                        sport += o.toString();
                        ptxtBox.setText(sport);
                        selectedport = sport;
                    } else {

                        snoq += o.toString();
                        ntxtBox.setText(snoq);
                    }
                    selectedreq = snoq;

                }



            }table.clearSelection();
        }
    });

i load the table content like this

  int rowCount=0;

            File file = new File("serverconfig.xml");

            if (file.exists())

            {

                System.out.print("in load");
                int e = table.getRowCount();

                if(e> 0)
                {

                while (table.getRowCount() > 0) {
                    ((DefaultTableModel) table.getModel()).removeRow(0);
                }

                }

//here i will load table content from my xml file (that's working fine)

the problem is when i update my table content i will call loadtable() function ever time i will get this error

Answer 2

The old story: if there's high-level api to reach a goal, never-ever use the lower-level. Or maybe a related story: read the api doc, again and again :-)

For DefaultTableModel, the high-level api to remove all rows is:

model.setRowCount(0); 

Edit

Looking at your stacktrace, the error is not caused by the remove, but by accessing a newly added row.. My (random, without seeing more or your code :-) guess would be the rowIndex lead in

Object o = table.getValueAt(lead, col);

you'll have to check if its valid, might be negative (no lead) or still the old (index before adding) Note that the selection state is updated as a consequence of adding/removing data in the tableModel (as well as by user interaction) The important rule here is to be sure that table's internals are updated after model changes before accessing any state in client code. You can do so by wrapping it in invokeLater:

void updateTextBox() {
    if (selectionModel.getLeadSelectionIndex() >= table.getRowCount() ||
        selectionModel.getLeadSelectionIndex() < 0) return;
    .... // update text panel here
}

public void valueChanged(...) {
    if (e.getValueIsAdjusting()) return;
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
           updateTextBox();
        }
    }));
}

Answer 3

this will do the task

DefaultTableModel dm = (DefaultTableModel)table.getModel();
dm.getDataVector().removeAllElements();
dm.fireTableDataChanged();

for this to work you need to create table like this

String[] columnNames = {"First Name",
            "Last Name",
            "Sport",
            "# of Years",
            "Vegetarian"};

Object[][] data = {
{"Kathy", "Smith",
"Snowboarding", new Integer(5), new Boolean(false)},
{"John", "Doe",
"Rowing", new Integer(3), new Boolean(true)},
};

JTable jTable = new JTable();
jTable.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(data,columnNames));

Answer 4

It's very easy: just do this:

DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)table.getModel();

while(model.getRowCount() > 0){
   for(int i = 0 ; i < model.getRowCount();i++){
      model.removeRow(i);
   }
}
