Most simple code to populate JTable from ResultSet

Question

I googled the whole day and no luck. I call getnPrintAllData() method after pressing OK button. So the code is:

public class DatabaseSQLiteConne         


        

Answer 1

With all factors put into consideration, with regard to code architecture using modular programming would work very well and with more simplicity in the code. Write a simple

getData() function @returns a 2D array of the data from the database.

pass this funtion to the constructor of the JTabel() constructor i.e

JTabel myTable = new JTable(getData(),columnsArray);

In this case the second argument: columnsArray is a single dimensional array that has the column names

String[] columns = {{"ID","DataOfBirth","Age","Grade","Marks","RegNumber"}};

pass the JTable object to a JScrollPane then you are done, right after adding the ScrollPane to the container ofcourse

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(myTable);

JFrame myFrame = new JFrame();
myFrame.add(scrollPane);

Here is a sample function getData() that queries the database for the data that later is passed on to the JTable

public String[][] getRecords() {
    try (Connection conect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/online_students_registration", "root", "")) {
        Statement stm = conect.createStatement();
        String SELECT_QUERY = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM medicalrecords ;";
        ResultSet cursor = stm.executeQuery(SELECT_QUERY);
        while (cursor.next()) {
            rows = cursor.getInt("COUNT(*)");
            System.out.println("Table will have " + rows + " Rows");
        }
        System.err.println("Contacts row count is obtained!!");
        if (rows < 1) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "There is NO DATA");
            //contactsRowsCount = 1;
            //System.out.println("Table rows succefully reset to  " + contactsRowsCount + " Rows");
            dataValues = new String[1][8];
            //dataValues[1][5] = "No Values";

            for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
                for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
                    if (j == 0) {
                        dataValues[i][j] = "No Details Available";
                        System.out.println("" + dataValues);
                    } else {
                        dataValues[i][j] = "...";
                        System.out.println("Contacts" + dataValues[i][j]);
                    }
                }
            }

            System.out.println("Return statement is being executed on 0 rows ");
            //return doctoredDataValues;
        } else if (rows > 0) {

            System.out.println("obtain contacts code is being run under  " + rows + " Rows");
            dataValues = new String[rows][8];    //declare array for contacts table data
            System.out.println("[ Line 1584 ]The dataValues object for the JTable succefully set");

            String SELECT_QUERY_CONTACT = "SELECT * FROM medicalrecords; ";

            //OBTAIN CONTACTS FROM DB WITH REGARD TO CONTACT CATEGORY SPECIFIED
            ResultSet contactsTableCursor = stm.executeQuery(SELECT_QUERY_CONTACT);
            //use iterator-algorithm to insert values into the JTable
            for (int i = 0; contactsTableCursor.next() && i < rows; i++) {
                for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
                    dataValues[i][j] = contactsTableCursor.getString(j + 1);
                    System.out.println("Contacts" + dataValues[i][j]);
                }
            }
        }
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Medical Details Added Succefully!!");
    } catch (SQLException e) {

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Unable to Obtain contacts:Server is Offline(LINE 1568)" + e.getMessage());
    }

    return dataValues;

}
