How to link an excel file with the application software using Java swing
I have to link an excel file with a application software which I am developing.The exce开发者_运维百科l file will contain questionnaire for conducting surveys.I have this code which is only able to open a Jpanel to select the file.After I select the file nothing is happening.I wanted to be able to generate a template based on the questions that are in the excel file (like extracting the questions from the excel file and creating a template from it) and which I have to upload on the web later.could you please help me with this?
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
public class SelectFile extends JFrame{
public static void main(String[]args){
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setLayout(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setTitle("Select File for Linking");
frame.setSize(400, 100);
Container container = frame.getContentPane();
container.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
final JTextField text=new JTextField(20);
JButton b=new JButton("Select File");
text.setBounds(20,20,120,20);
b.setBounds(150,20,80,20);
// b.setText("<html><font color='blue'><u>Select File</u></font></html>");
b.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
//b.setBorderPainted(false);
//b.setOpaque(false);
// b.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new OnlyExt());
int returnval = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
if (returnval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
text.setText(file.getPath());
}
}
});
container.add(text);
container.add(b);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
class OnlyExt extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter{
public boolean accept(File file) {
if (file.isDirectory()) return false;
String name = file.getName().toLowerCase();
return (name.endsWith(".xls"));
}
public String getDescription() { return "Excel ( *.xls)"; }
}
Apache POI http://poi.apache.org/ provides an API for reading / writing Excel Files.
Look over this source for some tips.
import java.io.File;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileNameExtensionFilter;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;
public class SelectFile {
public static void main(String[]args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Select File for Linking");
// don't use null layouts.
//frame.setLayout(null);
// create a panel so we can add a border
JPanel container = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(3));
container.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
frame.setContentPane(container);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// instead call pack() after components are added
//frame.setSize(400, 100);
final JTextField text=new JTextField(20);
JButton b=new JButton("Select File");
// irrelevant unless button stretched by layout
//b.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
String desc = "Excel ( *.xls)";
String[] types = {".xls"};
fc.addChoosableFileFilter(
new FileNameExtensionFilter(desc, types));
int returnval = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
if (returnval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
text.setText(file.getPath());
try {
// 1.6+
Desktop.getDesktop().edit(file);
} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
container.add(text);
container.add(b);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
BTW - The JFrame
here would probably be better converted to a JDialog
or JOptionPane
.
