Filling a JList with data

Question

Does anyone have any good tutorials on how to fill a JList (within a JPanel) with user inputted data. Specifically, I want to add people to a selected roster. Is this a matter of filling it with an ArrayList?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Solution 1

• create a ListModel which wrapps your java.util.List (e.g. by extending AbstractListModel)
• configure JList to use this model
• create and configure a renderer to format/ display the Objects in your list as needed

Solution 2

I think it is having a little bit time with Google. I find the following results with Google.

• How to Use Lists
• Customize Your JList Display
• Basic Swing components II
• JLists, Data Models, and Cell Renderers

Solution 3

You create a JList with a ListModel. When you edit your ListModel, it is reflected on JList as well.

+1, for being the first to link to the Swing tutorial which has a working example that does exactly what the OP wants to do.

Well, somebody else was first, but that response seems to be removed... ;-)
