Make use of the AbstractTableModel interface.It has the methods
getRowCount(),getColumnCount(),getValueAt() etc.It'll help in dynamically increasing the rows and also changing the values on the fly.
the code written below will surely help u.so plz go through this code and tell me weather it helped u or not.
public class TableDemo extends JFrame {
private boolean DEBUG = true;
public TableDemo() {
super("TableDemo");
MyTableModel myModel = new MyTableModel();
JTable table = new JTable(myModel); table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(500, 70)); //Create the scroll pane and add the table to it. JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table); //Add the scroll pane to this window. getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER); addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { System.exit(0); } }); }
class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
final
String[] columnNames = {"First Name", "Last Name","Sport", "# of Years","amit"};
