How to count the number of lines in a JTextArea, i

Question

i want count the line number of JTextArea include the wrapped text. And I got the nice sample code from Here Thread

But i try to modified using Dynamic JTextArea. But the calculation of line number goes wrong.

Here is the code modified by me :

package fandi.demo;

import java.awt.font.FontRenderContext;
import java.awt.font.LineBreakMeasurer;
import java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator;
import java.text.AttributedString;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentListener;

public class JTextAreaCountModified extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    public JTextAreaCountModified() {
        initComponents();
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);

        txtResult.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {

            @Override
            public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                if(txtResult.getText().length() > 0) {
                    lblCountLine.setText(String.valueOf(countLines(txtResult)));
                } else {
                    lblCountLine.setText("0");
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                if(txtResult.getText().length() > 0) {
                    lblCountLine.setText(String.valueOf(countLines(txtResult)));
                }else {
                    lblCountLine.setText("0");
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                if(txtResult.getText().length() > 0) {
                    lblCountLine.setText(String.valueOf(countLines(txtResult)));
                }else {
                    lblCountLine.setText("0");
                }
            }
        });
    }

    // COUNTING LINE GOES HERE...
    public static int countLines(JTextArea textArea) {
        AttributedString text = new AttributedString(textArea.getText());
        FontRenderContext frc = textArea.getFontMetrics(textArea.getFont()).getFontRenderContext();
        AttributedCharacterIterator charIt = text.getIterator();
        LineBreakMeasurer lineMeasurer = new LineBreakMeasurer(charIt, frc);
        float formatWidth = (float) textArea.getSize().width;
        lineMeasurer.setPosition(charIt.getBeginIndex());

        int noLines = 0;
        while (lineMeasurer.getPosition() < charIt.getEndIndex()) {
            lineMeasurer.nextLayout(formatWidth);
            noLines++;
        }

        int lineEnter = textArea.getLineCount();
        int countLine = noLines + lineEnter;

        return countLine-1;
    } 
    // END OF COUNTING METHOD

Please help, thank you :)

Answer 1

See the getWrappedLines() method from Text Utilities.

Answer 2

the best is textarea.getLineCount();

so its the best i think

int countLine = this.getLineCount();

Answer 3

• there are another one, two different ways, but I used loop inside lines,
