How to make a JTable non-editable

Question

How to make a JTable non-editable? I don't want my users to be able to edit the values in cells by double-clicking them.

Answer 1

You can override the method isCellEditable and implement as you want for example:

//instance table model DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel() {      @Override     public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {        //all cells false        return false;     } };  table.setModel(tableModel); 

or

//instance table model DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel() {     @Override    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {        //Only the third column        return column == 3;    } };  table.setModel(tableModel); 

Note for if your JTable disappears

If your JTable is disappearing when you use this it is most likely because you need to use the DefaultTableModel(Object[][] data, Object[] columnNames) constructor instead.

//instance table model DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames) {      @Override     public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {        //all cells false        return false;     } };  table.setModel(tableModel);
