add jcombbox to jtable of array list
HI
I have JTable class that takes the array list of object as content
like this
String data [][] = new String [reportList.size()][5];
//assign the elements in te array list to be displayed in the Jtable
for (int pos = 0; pos < reportList.size(); pos++){
ReportsExample2 obj = reportList.get(pos);
data[pos][0] = obj.getTech();//at position 0
data[pos][1] = obj.getClient();//at position 1
data[pos][2] = obj.getPro();//at position 2
data[pos][3] = obj.getPr();//at position 3
data[pos][4] = obj.getSt();//at position 4
}
and then shows table of 5 columns
how could I add jcombobox to specific column and allow the client to choose one of the values in the jcombobox and store the new value in the array list
I found many examples on the internet but no one use sth like this
Many thanks

I mean all the examples i found create jtable and then create jcombobox with certain value
After that they assign jcombobox to certain column
My problem is that i am afraid if i create a combobox i will lose the actuall content of array list
E.g
The content of specific column before adding jcombobox like this
2
4
5
And after addind jcombobx
2
2
2
And when a customer clicks on 2 the list appears is 2 4 5
So the actual content of the array list wont be visible any more
Any help please

Ordinarily using a combo in a cell implies a set of values not directly in the table model, but joined in from elsewhere

So, that means that the contents of your combobox editor is OK. (since it contains 2, 4, 5)
However, it doesn't display the value that is in the cell. Instead of that it always displays the first value item (2) in its list.
Did you read the article I gave you? (How to use tables: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html)
There you can read that a table has cell renderers and cell editors.
Your editor seems to work.
Your renderer doesn't seem to be ok.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Could you rephrase that please.
Baseline:
1. You'll have to write your own TableModel (extending DefaultTableModel)
2. You'll have to write a custom CellEditor (extending DefaultCellEditor) that uses a JComboBox as its editor.
3. The above two points might sound difficult, but in fact they aren't.
You'll just have to make yourself familiar with the concept of table models and table renderers and editors.
