change color of Jtable cell based on resultset value from msyql

Question

I use Netbeans to develop a java application, I have a result set from MYSQL database and i want to put this data in a JTable. I have a problem when I want to change background color of a JTable cell based on its value (ex: if the value of a cell in Jtable isn't equal to 1, its color must be red). Here is my code:

Try this

public static TableCellRenderer createCellRenderer() {
    return new DefaultTableCellRenderer() {
        @Override
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
            Component c =  super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);

            c.setBackground(Color.GREEN);

            return c;
        }
    };
}

public static void setCellRenderer(JTable table) {
    TableCellRenderer cellRenderer = createCellRenderer();
    table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, cellRenderer);
}

By calling table.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(data, column)); you are putting your data into the table model. JTable uses by default DefaultTableCellRenderer instance to render cells, which can be replaced by your own cell renderer by calling table.setDefaultRenderer(Integer.class, cellRenderer) - this will set custom cellrenderer to all Integer columns ( DefaultTableModel uses Object columns). When table is being displayed, each cell of the table is customized by getTableCellRendererComponent(...) method of the table's cellrenderer. In this method, you have current component (cell) with it's value and position (see parameters), that you can use to customize your cell before getting rendered.

So if you want to set background color to RED for each cell in second column with value 1, you would write:

if (column == 1 && ((Integer) value) == 1) {
    c.setBackground(Color.RED);
}

Passing table's data to cell renderer

public static TableCellRenderer createCellRenderer(final Vector data) {
    return new DefaultTableCellRenderer() {
        @Override
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        Component c =  super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);

            // use data to customize current component

            return c;
        }
    };
}

public static void setCellRenderer(JTable table, Vector data) {
    // Vector data = ((DefaultTableModel) table.getModel()).getDataVector();
    TableCellRenderer cellRenderer = createCellRenderer(data);
    table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, cellRenderer);
}

public class Product extends javax.swing.JPanel {
     
    public Product() {
        initComponents();
         
       getNewRenderedTable(p_table);
       
    }
      
    private static JTable getNewRenderedTable(final JTable table){
        table.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
            @Override
            public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column){
                super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
                
                int status = Integer.parseInt((String) table.getModel().getValueAt(row, 7));
                
                if(status<=5){
                   setBackground(Color.red);
                   setForeground(Color.WHITE);
                }
                else{
                   setBackground(Color.WHITE);
                   setForeground(Color.black);
                }
                return this;
            }
        });
        return table;
