I am beginner to Apache POI api. I am trying to create excel sheet using arraylist.
My java code is as follows.
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("new sheet");
HSSFCellStyle style = wb.createCellStyle();
style.setFillForegroundColor(HSSFColor.LIME.index);
style.setFillPattern(HSSFCellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
HSSFRow row4 = sheet.createRow(4);
row4.createCell(4).setCellValue("name");
row4.createCell(5).setCellValue("emailId");
sheet.autoSizeColumn(5);
List<Bean> nameList = this.getArrayList();
Iterator<Bean> nameListIterator = nameList.iterator();
sheet.autoSizeColumn(5);
int i=5;
HSSFRow row = null;
while(nameListIterator.hasNext())
{
Bean bean = nameListIterator.next();
row = sheet.createRow(i);
row.createCell(4).setCellValue(bean.getName());
row.createCell(5).setCellValue(bean.getMailId());
i++;
}
The arraylist is as follows:
List<Bean> beanList = new ArrayList<Bean>();
beanList.add(new Bean("Amy","g@y.comrtyrtyrtyrtyrtyr"));
beanList.add(new Bean("Joan","p@y.comrtyrtyrtyrtyrtyr"));
beanList.add(new Bean("Megan","r@y.comrtyrtyrtyrtyrtyr"));
beanList.add(new Bean("Joe","m@y.comrtyrtyrtyrtyrtyr"));
beanList.add(new Bean("Febi","j@y.comrtyrtyrtyrtyrtyr"));
When the excel sheet is generated, the column does not fit to the size of the content correctly. I searched Google related to this problem and found
sheet.autoSizeColumn(5);
is the solution to my problem. I added as in the code above, but still the problem persists. Am I using it correctly?
Is there any other solution?
Please help
Thanks in advance
P.s: I am using Apache Poi 3.6
