The default behaviour when clicking on a row in a JTable appears to be...
1 event=javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent[ source=javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel 673443626 ~{0} firstIndex= 0 lastIndex= 0 isAdjusting= true ]
2 mousePressed
3 event=javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent[ source=javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel 673443626 ={0} firstIndex= 0 lastIndex= 0 isAdjusting= false ]
4 mouseReleased
5 mouseClicked
Even though the mouse click is initiating the action the JTable event sneaks in before mousePressed. Why is it not...
1 mousePressed
2 event=javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent[ source=javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel 673443626 ~{0} firstIndex= 0 lastIndex= 0 isAdjusting= true ]
3 event=javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent[ source=javax.swing.DefaultListSelectionModel 673443626 ={0} firstIndex= 0 lastIndex= 0 isAdjusting= false ]
4 mouseReleased
5 mouseClicked
The behaviour I was after is
What happens at the moment is that both steps 3 & 4 happen at once when clicking on an unselected row. There is no mouse event which can be used to detect if the row is selected or not - it will always be selected.
Or to put it another way...when you mouse-click on a row in JTable how can you test during the click event whether the row was not selected just prior to the click event?
Here is an SSCCE...
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener;
public class JTableRowSelectTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Object rowData[][] = {{"Row1-Column1"}, {"Row2-Column1"}};
Object columnNames[] = {"Column One"};
final JTable table = new JTable(rowData, columnNames);
table.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
final int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
if (row >= 0 && table.isRowSelected(row)) {
System.out.println("mouseClicked on selected row");
} else {
// never reached.
System.out.println("mouseClicked on un-selected row");
}
}
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
final int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
if (row >= 0 && table.isRowSelected(row)) {
System.out.println("mousePressed on selected row");
} else {
// never reached.
System.out.println("mousePressed on un-selected row");
}
}
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("mouseReleased");
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
});
table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
});
frame.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(300, 150);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
I already had this problem: determine which event has triggered selection change. The solution is:
if (EventQueue.getCurrentEvent() instanceof MouseEvent) {
// handler for mouse
} else if (EventQueue.getCurrentEvent() instanceof KeyEvent) {
// handler for key
}
Simply use it in your ListSelectionListener. I'm not sure whether this approach is absolutely correct, but it worked for me.
Thanks to @mKorbel. There is another possibility to check whether the selection change was made per mouse or keyboard. Details here .
Here is my solution although it feels like a bit of a hack and a bit smelly in that you have to use information from another event - getValueIsAdjusting(). It will only work in mousePressed() as well.
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener;
public class JTableRowSelectTest {
private static boolean isValueAdjusting = false;
public static void main(String args[]) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Object rowData[][] = {{"Row1-Column1"}, {"Row2-Column1"}};
Object columnNames[] = {"Column One"};
final JTable table = new JTable(rowData, columnNames);
table.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("mouseClicked");
}
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
final int row = table.rowAtPoint(e.getPoint());
if (row >= 0 && table.isRowSelected(row) && !isValueAdjusting) {
System.out.println("mousePressed on selected row " + row);
} else {
System.out.println("mousePressed on un-selected row " + row);
}
}
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("mouseReleased");
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
});
table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
isValueAdjusting = e.getValueIsAdjusting();
System.out.println(e);
}
});
frame.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(300, 150);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
