Class SpinnerListModel

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.AbstractSpinnerModel
javax.swing.SpinnerListModel
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, SpinnerModel
public class SpinnerListModel extends AbstractSpinnerModel implements Serializable
A simple implementation of SpinnerModel whose values are defined by an array or a List. For example to create a model defined by an array of the names of the days of the week: 
 String[] days = new DateFormatSymbols().getWeekdays();
 SpinnerModel model = new SpinnerListModel(Arrays.asList(days).subList(1, 8));
This class only stores a reference to the array or List so if an element of the underlying sequence changes, it's up to the application to notify the ChangeListeners by calling fireStateChanged.

This model inherits a ChangeListener. The ChangeListeners are notified whenever the model's value or list properties changes.

Since:
1.4

  • Constructor Details

    • SpinnerListModel

      public SpinnerListModel(List<?> values)
      Constructs a SpinnerModel whose sequence of values is defined by the specified List. The initial value (current element) of the model will be values.get(0). If values is null or has zero size, an IllegalArugmentException is thrown.
      Parameters:
      values - the sequence this model represents
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if values is null or zero size

    • SpinnerListModel

      public SpinnerListModel(Object[] values)
      Constructs a SpinnerModel whose sequence of values is defined by the specified array. The initial value of the model will be values[0]. If values is null or has zero length, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
      Parameters:
      values - the sequence this model represents
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if values is null or zero length

    • SpinnerListModel

      public SpinnerListModel()
      Constructs an effectively empty SpinnerListModel. The model's list will contain a single "empty" string element.

  • Method Details

    • getList

      public List<?> getList()
      Returns the List that defines the sequence for this model.
      Returns:
      the value of the list property
      See Also:

    • setList

      public void setList(List<?> list)
      Changes the list that defines this sequence and resets the index of the models value to zero. Note that list is not copied, the model just stores a reference to it.

      This method fires a ChangeEvent if list is not equal to the current list.

      Parameters:
      list - the sequence that this model represents
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if list is null or zero length
      See Also:

    • getValue

      public Object getValue()
      Returns the current element of the sequence.
      Specified by:
      getValue in interface SpinnerModel
      Returns:
      the value property
      See Also:

    • setValue

      public void setValue(Object elt)
      Changes the current element of the sequence and notifies ChangeListeners. If the specified value is not equal to an element of the underlying sequence then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. In the following example the setValue call would cause an exception to be thrown: 
       String[] values = {"one", "two", "free", "four"};
 SpinnerModel model = new SpinnerListModel(values);
 model.setValue("TWO");
      Specified by:
      setValue in interface SpinnerModel
      Parameters:
      elt - the sequence element that will be model's current value
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the specified value isn't allowed

    • getNextValue

      public Object getNextValue()
      Returns the next legal value of the underlying sequence or null if value is already the last element.
      Specified by:
      getNextValue in interface SpinnerModel
      Returns:
      the next legal value of the underlying sequence or null if value is already the last element
      See Also:

    • getPreviousValue

      public Object getPreviousValue()
      Returns the previous element of the underlying sequence or null if value is already the first element.
      Specified by:
      getPreviousValue in interface SpinnerModel
      Returns:
      the previous element of the underlying sequence or null if value is already the first element
