如何在JComponent中显示ArrayList项

Question

I have this:

ArrayList lovely = new ArryList(4);
lovely.add("Tall, Short, Average");         // line 1
lovely.add("mangoes, apples, Bananas");     // line 2
lovely.add("this, that");                   // line 3
lovely.add(“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6”)              // line 4

I'd like to have the array list displayed in such a way that each category shows in its own line, like how google list their search results. Does anyone know how to do this? I'd like such displayed in a JComponent, but am not sure of which one to use, nor how to do this. Do JAVA programmers use JTextFields , JTextPanes, or what do they use.

Help here will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Java programmers use a JList . You can constuct it like this:

new JList(lovely.toArray())

It displays each item in a separate line in a list.

Answer 2

You might want to try JLabel or JTextPane because they support simple HTML commands. It's quite nice if you want to give neat output in a simple manner. Have a look here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/html.html
