A component that displays a list of objects and allows the user to select one or more items. A separate model, ListModel, maintains the contents of the list. 
 It's easy to display an array or Vector of objects, using the JList constructor that automatically builds a read-only ListModel instance for you: 

// Create a JList that displays strings from an array
String[] data = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};
JList<String> myList = new JList<String>(data);
// Create a JList that displays the superclasses of JList.class, by
// creating it with a Vector populated with this data
Vector<Class<?>> superClasses = new Vector<Class<?>>();
Class<JList> rootClass = javax.swing.JList.class;
for(Class<?> cls = rootClass; cls != null; cls = cls.getSuperclass()) {
    superClasses.addElement(cls);
 }
JList<Class<?>> myList = new JList<Class<?>>(superClasses);
// The automatically created model is stored in JList's "model"
// property, which you can retrieve
ListModel<Class<?>> model = myList.getModel();
for(int i = 0; i < model.getSize(); i++) {
    System.out.println(model.getElementAt(i));
 }
 


 A ListModel can be supplied directly to a JList by way of a constructor or the setModel method. The contents need not be static - the number of items, and the values of items can change over time. A correct ListModel implementation notifies the set of javax.swing.event.ListDataListeners that have been added to it, each time a change occurs. These changes are characterized by a javax.swing.event.ListDataEvent, which identifies the range of list indices that have been modified, added, or removed. JList's ListUI is responsible for keeping the visual representation up to date with changes, by listening to the model. 
 Simple, dynamic-content, JList applications can use the DefaultListModel class to maintain list elements. This class implements the ListModel interface and also provides a java.util.Vector-like API. Applications that need a more
custom ListModel implementation may instead wish to subclass AbstractListModel, which provides basic support for managing and notifying listeners. For example, a read-only implementation of AbstractListModel: 

// This list model has about 2^16 elements.  Enjoy scrolling.
ListModel<String> bigData = new AbstractListModel<String>() {
    public int getSize() { return Short.MAX_VALUE; }
    public String getElementAt(int index) { return "Index " + index; }
 };
 


 The selection state of a JList is managed by another separate model, an instance of ListSelectionModel. JList is initialized with a selection model on construction, and also contains methods to query or set this selection model. Additionally, JList provides convenient methods for easily managing the selection. These methods, such as setSelectedIndex and getSelectedValue, are cover methods that take care of the details of interacting with the selection model. By default, JList's selection model is configured to allow any combination of items to be selected at a time; selection mode MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION. The selection mode can be changed on the selection model directly, or via JList's cover method. Responsibility for updating the selection model in response to user gestures lies with the list's ListUI. 
 A correct ListSelectionModel implementation notifies the set of javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListeners that have been added to it each time a change to the selection occurs. These changes are characterized by a javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent, which identifies the range of the selection change. 
 The preferred way to listen for changes in list selection is to add ListSelectionListeners directly to the JList. JList then takes care of listening to the selection model and notifying your listeners of change. 
 Responsibility for listening to selection changes in order to keep the list's visual representation up to date lies with the list's ListUI. 

 Painting of cells in a JList is handled by a delegate called a cell renderer, installed on the list as the cellRenderer property. The renderer provides a java.awt.Component that is used like a "rubber stamp" to paint the cells. Each time a cell needs to be painted, the list's ListUI asks the cell renderer for the component, moves it into place, and has it paint the contents of the cell by way of its paint method. A default cell renderer, which uses a JLabel component to render, is installed by the lists's ListUI. You can substitute your own renderer using code like this: 

 // Display an icon and a string for each object in the list.
class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer<Object> {
    static final ImageIcon longIcon = new ImageIcon("long.gif");
    static final ImageIcon shortIcon = new ImageIcon("short.gif");
    // This is the only method defined by ListCellRenderer.
    // We just reconfigure the JLabel each time we're called.
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
      JList<?> list,           // the list
      Object value,            // value to display
      int index,               // cell index
      boolean isSelected,      // is the cell selected
      boolean cellHasFocus)    // does the cell have focus
    {
        String s = value.toString();
        setText(s);
        setIcon((s.length() > 10) ? longIcon : shortIcon);
        if (isSelected) {
            setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
            setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
        } else {
            setBackground(list.getBackground());
            setForeground(list.getForeground());
        }
        setEnabled(list.isEnabled());
        setFont(list.getFont());
        setOpaque(true);
        return this;
    }
 }
myList.setCellRenderer(new MyCellRenderer());
 


 Another job for the cell renderer is in helping to determine sizing information for the list. By default, the list's ListUI determines the size of cells by asking the cell renderer for its preferred size for each list item. This can be expensive for large lists of items. To avoid these calculations, you can set a fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight on the list, or have these values calculated automatically based on a single prototype value: 


JList<String> bigDataList = new JList<String>(bigData);
// We don't want the JList implementation to compute the width
// or height of all of the list cells, so we give it a string
// that's as big as we'll need for any cell.  It uses this to
// compute values for the fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight
// properties.
bigDataList.setPrototypeCellValue("Index 1234567890");
 


 JList doesn't implement scrolling directly. To create a list that scrolls, make it the viewport view of a JScrollPane. For example: 
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(myList);
// Or in two steps:
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
scrollPane.getViewport().setView(myList);



 JList doesn't provide any special handling of double or triple (or N) mouse clicks, but it's easy to add a MouseListener if you wish to take action on these events. Use the locationToIndex method to determine what cell was clicked. For example: 
MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseAdapter() {
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        if (e.getClickCount() == 2) {
            int index = list.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
            System.out.println("Double clicked on Item " + index);
         }
    }
};
list.addMouseListener(mouseListener);

Sets the prototypeCellValue property, and then (if the new value is non-null), computes the fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight properties by requesting the cell renderer component for the given value (and index 0) from the cell renderer, and using that component's preferred size.

 Setting this property affects the return value of the getPreferredScrollableViewportSize method, which is used to calculate the preferred size of an enclosing viewport. See that method's documentation for more details. 
 In HORIZONTAL_WRAP and VERTICAL_WRAP orientations:
 This affects how cells are wrapped. See the documentation of setLayoutOrientation for more details. 
 The default value of this property is 8. 
 Calling this method with a negative value results in the property being set to 0. 

This is a JavaBeans bound property.

Params:
  • visibleRowCount –  an integer specifying the preferred number of
                        rows to display without requiring scrolling

    Value
    Description



  

    VERTICAL Cells are layed out vertically in a single column.
  

    HORIZONTAL_WRAP Cells are layed out horizontally, wrapping to a new row as necessary. If the visibleRowCount property is less than or equal to zero, wrapping is determined by the width of the list; otherwise wrapping is done in such a way as to ensure visibleRowCount rows in the list. 

    VERTICAL_WRAP Cells are layed out vertically, wrapping to a new column as necessary. If the visibleRowCount property is less than or equal to zero, wrapping is determined by the height of the list; otherwise wrapping is done at visibleRowCount rows. 



The default value of this property is VERTICAL.

Turns on or off automatic drag handling. In order to enable automatic drag handling, this property should be set to true, and the list's TransferHandler needs to be non-null. The default value of the dragEnabled property is false. 
 The job of honoring this property, and recognizing a user drag gesture, lies with the look and feel implementation, and in particular, the list's ListUI. When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels (including those that subclass BasicLookAndFeel) begin a drag and drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over an item and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to true can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave. 
 If a look and feel is used that ignores this property, you can still begin a drag and drop operation by calling exportAsDrag on the list's TransferHandler.

Sets the drop mode for this component. For backward compatibility,
the default for this property is DropMode.USE_SELECTION.
Usage of one of the other modes is recommended, however, for an
improved user experience. DropMode.ON, for instance,
offers similar behavior of showing items as selected, but does so without
affecting the actual selection in the list.


JList supports the following drop modes:

    
   
  • DropMode.USE_SELECTION
    • 
   
  • DropMode.ON
    •

Called to set or clear the drop location during a DnD operation.
In some cases, the component may need to use it's internal selection
temporarily to indicate the drop location. To help facilitate this,
this method returns and accepts as a parameter a state object.
This state object can be used to store, and later restore, the selection
state. Whatever this method returns will be passed back to it in
future calls, as the state parameter. If it wants the DnD system to
continue storing the same state, it must pass it back every time.
Here's how this is used:


Let's say that on the first call to this method the component decides
to save some state (because it is about to use the selection to show
a drop index). It can return a state object to the caller encapsulating
any saved selection state. On a second call, let's say the drop location
is being changed to something else. The component doesn't need to
restore anything yet, so it simply passes back the same state object
to have the DnD system continue storing it. Finally, let's say this
method is messaged with null. This means DnD
is finished with this component for now, meaning it should restore
state. At this point, it can use the state parameter to restore
said state, and of course return null since there's
no longer anything to store.

Params:
  • location – the drop location (as calculated by
       dropLocationForPoint) or null
       if there's no longer a valid drop location
  • state – the state object saved earlier for this component,
       or null
  • forDrop – whether or not the method is being called because an
       actual drop occurred
Returns:any saved state for this component, or null if none

Returns the location that this component should visually indicate as the drop location during a DnD operation over the component, or null if no location is to currently be shown. 
 This method is not meant for querying the drop location from a TransferHandler, as the drop location is only set after the TransferHandler's canImport
has returned and has allowed for the location to be shown.


When this property changes, a property change event with
name "dropLocation" is fired by the component.

 By default, responsibility for listening for changes to this property and indicating the drop location visually lies with the list's ListUI, which may paint it directly and/or install a cell renderer to do so. Developers wishing to implement custom drop location painting and/or replace the default cell renderer, may need to honor this property.

Sets the selection model's valueIsAdjusting property. When true, upcoming changes to selection should be considered part of a single change. This property is used internally and developers typically need not call this method. For example, when the model is being updated in response to a user drag, the value of the property is set to true when the drag is initiated and set to false when the drag is finished. This allows listeners to update only when a change has been finalized, rather than handling all of the intermediate values. 

You may want to use this directly if making a series of changes
that should be considered part of a single change.

Computes the size of viewport needed to display visibleRowCount rows. The value returned by this method depends on the layout orientation: 

VERTICAL:

 This is trivial if both fixedCellWidth and fixedCellHeight have been set (either explicitly or by specifying a prototype cell value). The width is simply the fixedCellWidth plus the list's horizontal insets. The height is the fixedCellHeight multiplied by the visibleRowCount, plus the list's vertical insets. 
 If either fixedCellWidth or fixedCellHeight haven't been specified, heuristics are used. If the model is empty, the width is the fixedCellWidth, if greater than 0, or a hard-coded value of 256. The height is the fixedCellHeight multiplied by visibleRowCount, if fixedCellHeight is greater than 0, otherwise it is a hard-coded value of 16 multiplied by visibleRowCount. 
 If the model isn't empty, the width is the preferred size's width, typically the width of the widest list element. The height is the height of the cell with index 0 multiplied by the visibleRowCount, plus the list's vertical insets. 

VERTICAL_WRAP or HORIZONTAL_WRAP:

 This method simply returns the value from getPreferredSize. The list's ListUI is expected to override getPreferredSize to return an appropriate value.

Returns the distance to scroll to expose the next or previous block.


For vertical scrolling, the following rules are used:

    

  • if scrolling down, returns the distance to scroll so that the last
visible element becomes the first completely visible element

  • if scrolling up, returns the distance to scroll so that the first
visible element becomes the last completely visible element

  • returns visibleRect.height if the list is empty 


 For horizontal scrolling, when the layout orientation is either VERTICAL_WRAP or HORIZONTAL_WRAP: 
    

  • if scrolling right, returns the distance to scroll so that the
last visible element becomes
the first completely visible element

  • if scrolling left, returns the distance to scroll so that the first
visible element becomes the last completely visible element

  • returns visibleRect.width if the list is empty 


 For horizontal scrolling and VERTICAL orientation, returns visibleRect.width. 
 Note that the value of visibleRect must be the equal to this.getVisibleRect(). 
Params:
  • visibleRect – the view area visible within the viewport
  • orientation – SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL or SwingConstants.VERTICAL
  • direction – less or equal to zero to scroll up/back,
                 greater than zero for down/forward
Throws:
  • IllegalArgumentException – if visibleRect is null, or orientation isn't one of SwingConstants.VERTICAL or SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL
