Can I set the selected item for a JList without having an event thrown to the listeners?
I am working on a viewer, which uses a JList to show thumbnail开发者_Go百科s of the pages of a document. The user can open a page by selecting it through in the JList, or throught other mechanisms, like entering the number in a text box.
When using the latter alternative, I want that the JList also selects the page. I do this using setSelectedIndex(), but this triggers an event, which causes the page to be loaded again, as if the user had clicked and selected the page in the JList, and this is causing me some problems.
How I see it, the index should be set some way (perhaps in the model) so that only the UI of the JList updates, without firing an event that the index has changed.
Is this possible? Or is there a better way to solve my issue?
You can remove all
ListSelectionListener
from the list, make a selection and then add them again.You can create your own
ListSelectionModel
with a method that doesn't throw the event and set it as a selection model to yourJList
, and then usegetSelectionModel().yourSelectIndexMethod(index)
.You can also divert all your other methods of selection to the list, just find the corresponding entry if selecting the page by other means and select the item in the list. This way the item is selected and the page is loaded once.
Code for option 2:
public class ListTest extends JPanel{
private static final String[] items = new String[]{"1", "2", "3"};
private JList mylist;
private JComboBox myCombo;
private JTextArea myTA;
public ListTest() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
myCombo = new JComboBox(items);
myCombo.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
valueSelectedCombo(myCombo.getSelectedIndex());
}
});
JPanel pn = new JPanel();
pn.setLayout(new BoxLayout(pn, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
pn.add(myCombo);
pn.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());
pn.add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Clear"){
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
myTA.setText("");
}
}));
add(pn, BorderLayout.NORTH);
add(new JScrollPane(getJList()), BorderLayout.WEST);
add(new JScrollPane(myTA = new JTextArea()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
private void valueSelectedList(int index){
myTA.setText(myTA.getText() + "\n" + items[index]);
}
private void valueSelectedCombo(int index){
myTA.setText(myTA.getText() + "\n" + items[index]);
((CustomSelectionModel)mylist.getSelectionModel()).setSelectionSilent(index);
}
private JList getJList(){
if (mylist == null){
mylist = new JList(items);
mylist.setSelectionModel(new CustomSelectionModel());
mylist.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener(){
@Override
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e){
if (!e.getValueIsAdjusting()){
valueSelectedList(mylist.getSelectedIndex());
}
}
});
mylist.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
mylist.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 106));
}
return mylist;
}
private static class CustomSelectionModel extends DefaultListSelectionModel{
private boolean isSilent = false;
public void setSelectionSilent(int firstIndex){
isSilent = true;
setSelectionInterval(firstIndex, firstIndex);
isSilent = false;
}
protected void fireValueChanged(int firstIndex, int lastIndex, boolean isAdjusting){
if (isSilent){
return;
}
super.fireValueChanged(firstIndex, lastIndex, isAdjusting);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Add content to the window.
frame.add(new ListTest());
// Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
It looks like setSelectedIndex()
is just a convenient way to set the selection in the ListSelectionModel
. Maybe your ListModel
could flag or cache the result so it won't get loaded a second time.
