I am creating time picker using a JSpinner. The text inside the JSpinner is editable. But I want to set the JSpinner as non editable, because there is the chance to give an invalid value. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Try the following:

JSpinner spinner = ...;
((DefaultEditor) spinner.getEditor()).getTextField().setEditable(false);

This should work as long as you didn't change the spinner editor yourself by calling spinner.setEditor(...).

Tell us if this helps.

I had to add this after I set the spinner's list model. Then it worked. – Giffie

A bit shorter:

JSpinner spinner = new JSpinner();
spinner.setEditor(new JSpinner.DefaultEditor(spinner));

You can try setting the step to 0:

mySpinner.setModel(new SpinnerNumberModel(yourDefaultDisplayValue, minValue, maxValue, step));

You can explore the other spinner models and do the same trick I guess.
