I have a GUI in which has a container for a JTable called 'listTable'. I want to populate the JTable with data stored in a linked list, using the AbstractTableModel.

Basically, I have a LinkedList stored in Processing.java. It contains all the data retrieved from a text file. I created an AbstractTableModel to tell the JTable how to be populated. What I want to do now is to populate the JTable in GUI_g with "the contents of the linkedlist".

Anyone can tell me how to do this?

Here is the code:

GUI_g:

import java.awt.*; 
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import java.util.List.*;


public class GUI_g extends JFrame {

    public void buildGui() {

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hotel TV Scheduler");

                JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
        mainPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0,0));

                JPanel chPanel = new JPanel();
                chPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));

                JPanel listPanel = new JPanel();
                listPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,2,1,0));

                JPanel infoPanel = new JPanel();
        infoPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,3, 1, 0));


                JPanel addPanel = new JPanel();
        addPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,3));

                JPanel chlblPanel = new JPanel();
                chlblPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));

                JPanel tablePanel = new JPanel();
                tablePanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));

                JPanel rmvbtnPanel = new JPanel();
                rmvbtnPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));

                JPanel centrePanel = new JPanel();
                centrePanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,3));


             //   mainPanel.add(chPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
            //    mainPanel.add(listPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
                mainPanel.add(centrePanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

}

Program:

public abstract class Program {

    String Title;
    int Duration;
    String Category;

    public Program(String title, int duration, String category)
    {
        this.Title = title;
        this.Duration = duration;
        this.Category = category;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return Title;
    }

    public int getDuration() {
        return Duration;
    }

    public String getCategory() {
        return Category;
    }



}

Basically what I want is to put the contents of List<Program> into a JTable in the GUI.

Can anyone help me ?

use a TableModel or convert your list to an Object[][] or convert your list to a vector
