Class ListSortUI


  • public final class ListSortUI
    extends java.lang.Object
    ListSortUI provides support for managing the synchronization between RowSorter, SelectionModel and ListModel if a JXList is sortable.

    This implementation is an adaption of JTable.SortManager fit to the needs of a ListUI. In contrast to JTable tradition, the ui delegate has full control about listening to model/selection changes and updating the list accordingly. So the role of this class is that of a helper to the ListUI (vs. as a helper of the JTable).

    It's up to the ListUI to listen to model/selection and propagate the notification to this class if a sorter is installed, but still do the usual updates (layout, repaint) itself. On the other hand, listening to the sorter and updating list state accordingly is completely done by this.

        public ListSortUI​(JXList list,
                          javax.swing.RowSorter<? extends javax.swing.ListModel> sorter)
        Intanstiates a SortUI on the list which has the given RowSorter.
        Parameters:
        list - the list to control, must not be null
        sorter - the rowSorter of the list, must not be null
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if either the list or the sorter is null

    • Method Detail

      • dispose

        public void dispose()
        Disposes any resources used by this SortManager. Note: this instance must not be used after dispose!
      • modelChanged

        public void modelChanged​(javax.swing.event.ListDataEvent e)
        Called after notification from ListModel.
        Parameters:
        e - the change event from the listModel.
      • viewSelectionChanged

        public void viewSelectionChanged​(javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent e)
        Called after notification from selectionModel. Invoked when the selection, on the view, has changed.
      • sortedChanged

        protected void sortedChanged​(javax.swing.event.RowSorterEvent e)
        Called after notification from RowSorter.
        Parameters:
        e - RowSorter event of type SORTED.
      • prepareForChange

        private void prepareForChange​(javax.swing.event.RowSorterEvent sortEvent)
        Invoked when the RowSorter has changed. Updates the internal cache of the selection based on the change.
        Parameters:
        sortEvent - the notification
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the given event is null.
      • prepareForChange

        private void prepareForChange​(ListSortUI.ModelChange change)
        Invoked when the list model has changed. This is invoked prior to notifying the sorter of the change. Updates the internal cache of the selection based on the change.
        Parameters:
        change - the notification
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the given event is null.
      • cacheModelSelection

        private void cacheModelSelection​(javax.swing.event.RowSorterEvent sortEvent)
      • processChange

        private void processChange​(ListSortUI.ModelChange change)
        Inovked when either the table has changed or the sorter has changed and after the sorter has been notified. If necessary this will reapply the selection and variable row heights.
      • restoreSelection

        private void restoreSelection​(ListSortUI.ModelChange change)
        Restores the selection from that in terms of the model.
      • restoreSortingSelection

        private void restoreSortingSelection​(int[] selection,
                                             int lead,
                                             ListSortUI.ModelChange change)
        Restores the selection after a model event/sort order changes. All coordinates are in terms of the model.
      • convertRowIndexToView

        private int convertRowIndexToView​(ListSortUI.ModelChange change,
                                          int modelIndex)
        Converts a model index to view index. This is called when the sorter or model changes and sorting is enabled.
        Parameters:
        change - describes the TableModelEvent that initiated the change; will be null if called as the result of a sort
      • convertRowIndexToModel

        private int convertRowIndexToModel​(javax.swing.event.RowSorterEvent e,
                                           int viewIndex)
      • convertSelectionToModel

        private int[] convertSelectionToModel​(javax.swing.event.RowSorterEvent e)
        Converts the selection to model coordinates. This is used when the model changes or the sorter changes.
      • notifySorter

        private void notifySorter​(ListSortUI.ModelChange change)
        Notifies the sorter of a change in the underlying model.
      • getViewSelectionModel

        private javax.swing.ListSelectionModel getViewSelectionModel()
      • allChanged

        private void allChanged()
        Invoked when the underlying model has completely changed.
      • createRowSorterListener

        protected javax.swing.event.RowSorterListener createRowSorterListener()
        Creates and returns a RowSorterListener. This implementation calls sortedChanged if the event is of type SORTED.
        Returns:
        rowSorterListener to install on sorter.
