Dynamically add images to JTable cells

Question

I am dynamically adding data to a cell with the following code:

for(int i = 0; i < matchedSlots.size(); i++)
{  
  String title = matchedSlots.get(i).getTitle         


        

Answer 1

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("image.gif");
...
tm.addRow(new Object[] {image,title,director,rating,runTime});

You may need to change your table model to account for the new column if you haven't already.

This short article should help you with the image renderer: http://mdsaputra.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/swing-hack-show-image-in-jtable/

Answer 2

By default JTable can render Images. You just need to override getColumnClass() in the TableModel and return Icon.class for 1st column.

Look at Renderers and Editors for more details.
