修改JTable单元格中的文本对齐方式

Question

I have found a way to allocate the cell in a table, which seems to be a Component

JTable table = new JTable(...)
{
    public Component prepareRenderer(
        TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
    {
        Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);

        //  add custom rendering here

        return c;
    }
};

In the code, c is the Component, but I cannot find a method in Component to modify text alignment. Anything wrong about this approach?

Use DefaultTableCellRenderer for that purposes, it has setHorizontalAlignment() method :

DefaultTableCellRenderer renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
    @Override
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable arg0,Object arg1, boolean arg2, boolean arg3, int arg4, int arg5) {
         Component tableCellRendererComponent = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5);
         int align = DefaultTableCellRenderer.CENTER;
         if(condition){
             align = DefaultTableCellRenderer.LEFT;
         }
        ((DefaultTableCellRenderer)tableCellRendererComponent).setHorizontalAlignment(align);
         return tableCellRendererComponent;
    }
};
t.getColumnModel().getColumn(COLUMN).setCellRenderer(renderer);

COLUMN is target column, condition is condition for switching.

(J)Component havent this method(s) implemented in API

there are two ways

1. by casting (J)Component to JLabel

2. set this value for class managed by getColumnClass

.

DefaultTableCellRenderer stringRenderer = (DefaultTableCellRenderer)
     table.getDefaultRenderer(String.class);
stringRenderer.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);

I am going to make a conclusion.

For this specifiec problem, we can divide it into two:

1. allocate the cell
2. agjust its alignment

To allocate the cell, my originally way and the way alex2410 should be both useful.

JTable table = new JTable(...)
{
    public Component prepareRenderer(
        TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
    {
        Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);

        //  add custom rendering here

        return c;
    }
};

another

DefaultTableCellRenderer renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
    @Override
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
             JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
         Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5);

         //  add custom rendering here

         return c;
    }
};
t.getColumnModel().getColumn(COLUMN).setCellRenderer(renderer);

And for alignment, the only method I found useful is:

((DefaultTableCellRenderer)c).setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.center);

In mKorbel's suggestion, you can cast the Component c to JLabel , but I failed to to that.
