How to add JRadioButton to two columuns of a JTable and ButtonGroup them.

Question

I want a JTable which consists of 2 columns(having RadioButton) Active and Inactive such that if Active Column is Selected then Inactive RadioButton gets Unselected and Vice versa means that in a single row only 1 radiobutton can be selected out of 2 radiobuttons. the code for radiobutton is below . I am not able 2 add buttongroup for this 2 columns.

 public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    DefaultTableModel dt;
    public JRadioButton radioButton=new JRadioButton();


       public class RadioButtonCellEditorRenderer extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellRenderer, TableCellEditor, ActionListener {



            public RadioButtonCellEditorRenderer() {

                radioButton.addActionListener(this);
                radioButton.setOpaque(false);
            }

            @Override
            public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
                radioButton.setSelected(Boolean.TRUE.equals(value));
                return radioButton;
            }

            @Override
            public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
                radioButton.setSelected(Boolean.TRUE.equals(value));
                return radioButton;
            }

            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                stopCellEditing();
            }

            @Override
            public Object getCellEditorValue() {
                return radioButton.isSelected();
            }

        }

This is a sample code which I have and I modified it and placed another JRadioButton in column 2 for your requirement. Both columns one and two are grouped row wise like ButtonGroup.

EDIT: After defining columns in the table model you need to use Rendering and Editing for columns 0 and 1 using the following statement.

sourceTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setCellRenderer(new RadioButtonRenderer());
sourceTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setCellEditor(new RadioButtonEditor(new JCheckBox()));

Similarly you need to do for 2nd and 3rd columns (as you needed) also. One important step you have to look is setValueAt(..) method in the TableModel, you need to group columns (0, 1) and (2, 3) so when ever 0th column is selected then make 1st column as deselected and same is for 2 and 3 columns. Look at the setValueAt(..) method code below for case 2. When ever user selects second column then we will make that column as true and make third column as false. You just need to do the same for column-2 and column-3.

   case 2:
        model.setSelect(true);
        model.setInActive(false);
        break;

+1 for sscce, now cited here. Suggestions: 1) Use @Override annotation. 2) Use static factories when available, e.g. getCellEditorValue() can return Boolean.valueOf(btn.isSelected()). 3) Call addItemListener() once in constructor, and simplify logic, e.g. btn.setSelected(((Boolean) value).booleanValue()) 4) Omit redundant caste in setValueAt(). – Templet

thanx sir for this code; if you can do me a favour such that two radiobuttons arre in column 3 and column 4 of jjtable – Evergreen

@Templet Thanks. Sure I will take your suggestions and try to practice them from now on. – Sunday

@Evergreen Well that's simple. You just need to use renderer for 3 and 4 columns and then like the way I have done for 1 and 2 columns. Wait I will explain you about the implementation. Look at my EDIT. Try it out you can do better that this. – Sunday
