Expand JList row height depending on content

问题:

I have a simple problem which totally drives me crazy.

I have a JList, and would like its cells to expand depending on their content, which is text of variable length.

So I created a CustomCellRenderer like so:

@Override
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(final JList list, final Object value, final int index, final boolean isSelected, final boolean hasFocus)
{
    final String text = (String) value;

    final JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
    ta.setText(text);
    ta.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, (int) Theme.FONTSIZE_TEXT));
    ta.setForeground(Theme.FONTCOLOR_CONTENT);
    ta.setLineWrap(true);
    ta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
    ta.setColumns(0);
    ta.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, Theme.PADDING, 0, 0));
    return ta;
}

but the cells are only one text line high and the rest of the JTextArea is cut off. If I add

ta.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(0, 70));

I get a row height of 70 and I can see more of the JTextArea's text, but still not everything.

Is there any way to make JList expand its cells so that the whole content of the JTextArea is displayed?

there are maybe easiest and nicest way, I think that JTable with one TableColumn (and without TableHeader)in all cases better as JList, here is your Render MacOX version

then output should be

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;

public class AutoWrapTest {

    public JComponent makeUI() {
        String[] columnNames = {" Text Area Cell Renderer "};
        Object[][] data = {
            {"123456789012345678901234567890"},
            {"dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddx"},
            {"----------------------------------------------0"},
            {">>>>>>>>>>>>>dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd"
                + "dddddddxdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd"
                + "dddddddddddx>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|"},

回答2:

Not sure if there is an elegant way. One way that I know works is as follows : In getListCellRendererComponent()

• Use JLabel for the renderer
• Convert the text in question to HTML and use some logic to insert <br> in to the text where desired.
• Then set the text as text for the JLabel component and return.

回答3:

Try using JList's setFixedCellHeight() method.
