Per the 1.3 API -
// Display an icon and a
string for each object in the list.
class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
final static ImageIcon longIcon = new ImageIcon("long.gif");
final static 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,
Object value, // value to display
int index, // cell index
boolean isSelected, // is the cell selected
boolean cellHasFocus) // the list and the cell have the 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());
return this;
}
}
String[] data = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};
JList dataList = new JList(data);
dataList.setCellRenderer(new MyCellRenderer());
JList doesn't provide any special support for handling double or triple (or N) mouse clicks however it's easy to handle them using a MouseListener. Use the JList method locationToIndex() to determine what cell was clicked. For example:
final JList list = new JList(dataModel);
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);
Note that in this example the dataList is final because it's referred to by the anonymous MouseListener class.
For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard look and feel (L&F) renditions, see the JList key assignments.
