public class JSpinner extends JComponent implements Accessible
A single line input field that lets the user select a number or an object value from an ordered sequence. Spinners typically provide a pair of tiny arrow buttons for stepping through the elements of the sequence. The keyboard up/down arrow keys also cycle through the elements. The user may also be allowed to type a (legal) value directly into the spinner. Although combo boxes provide similar functionality, spinners are sometimes preferred because they don't require a drop down list that can obscure important data.A
JSpinner
's sequence value is defined by itsSpinnerModel
. Themodel
can be specified as a constructor argument and changed with themodel
property.SpinnerModel
classes for some common types are provided:SpinnerListModel
,SpinnerNumberModel
, andSpinnerDateModel
.A
JSpinner
has a single child component that's responsible for displaying and potentially changing the current element or value of the model, which is called theeditor
. The editor is created by theJSpinner
's constructor and can be changed with theeditor
property. TheJSpinner
's editor stays in sync with the model by listening forChangeEvent
s. If the user has changed the value displayed by theeditor
it is possible for themodel
's value to differ from that of theeditor
. To make sure themodel
has the same value as the editor use thecommitEdit
method, eg:try { spinner.commitEdit(); } catch (ParseException pe) { // Edited value is invalid, spinner.getValue() will return // the last valid value, you could revert the spinner to show that: JComponent editor = spinner.getEditor(); if (editor instanceof DefaultEditor) { ((DefaultEditor)editor).getTextField().setValue(spinner.getValue()); } // reset the value to some known value: spinner.setValue(fallbackValue); // or treat the last valid value as the current, in which // case you don't need to do anything. } return spinner.getValue();
For information and examples of using spinner see How to Use Spinners, a section in The Java Tutorial.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the

-
updateUI
in classJComponent
- See Also:
-
UIManager.getUI(javax.swing.JComponent)
createEditor
protected JComponent createEditor(SpinnerModel model)
This method is called by the constructors to create theJComponent
that displays the current value of the sequence. The editor may also allow the user to enter an element of the sequence directly. An editor must listen forChangeEvents
on themodel
and keep the value it displays in sync with the value of the model.Subclasses may override this method to add support for new
SpinnerModel
classes. Alternatively one can just replace the editor created here with thesetEditor
method. The default mapping from model type to editor is:SpinnerNumberModel => JSpinner.NumberEditor
SpinnerDateModel => JSpinner.DateEditor
SpinnerListModel => JSpinner.ListEditor
- all others =>
JSpinner.DefaultEditor
- Parameters:
-
model
- the value of getModel - Returns:
- a component that displays the current value of the sequence
- See Also:
-
getModel()
,setEditor(javax.swing.JComponent)
setModel
public void setModel(SpinnerModel model)
Changes the model that represents the value of this spinner. If the editor property has not been explicitly set, the editor property is (implicitly) set after the"model"
PropertyChangeEvent
has been fired. The editor property is set to the value returned bycreateEditor
, as in:setEditor(createEditor(model));
- Parameters:
-
model
- the newSpinnerModel
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if model isnull
- See Also:
-
getModel()
,getEditor()
,setEditor(javax.swing.JComponent)
getModel
public SpinnerModel getModel()
Returns theSpinnerModel
that defines this spinners sequence of values.- Returns:
- the value of the model property
- See Also:
-
setModel(javax.swing.SpinnerModel)
getValue
public Object getValue()
Returns the current value of the model, typically this value is displayed by theeditor
. If the user has changed the value displayed by theeditor
it is possible for themodel
's value to differ from that of theeditor
, refer to the class level javadoc for examples of how to deal with this.This method simply delegates to the
model
. It is equivalent to:getModel().getValue()
setValue
public void setValue(Object value)
Changes current value of the model, typically this value is displayed by theeditor
. If theSpinnerModel
implementation doesn't support the specified value then anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown.This method simply delegates to the
model
. It is equivalent to:getModel().setValue(value)
- Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- ifvalue
isn't allowed - See Also:
-
getValue()
,SpinnerModel.setValue(java.lang.Object)
getNextValue
public Object getNextValue()
Returns the object in the sequence that comes after the object returned bygetValue()
. If the end of the sequence has been reached then returnnull
. Calling this method does not effectvalue
.This method simply delegates to the
model
. It is equivalent to:getModel().getNextValue()
- Returns:
-
the next legal value or
null
if one doesn't exist - See Also:
-
getValue()
,getPreviousValue()
,SpinnerModel.getNextValue()
addChangeListener
public void addChangeListener(ChangeListener listener)
Adds a listener to the list that is notified each time a change to the model occurs. The source ofChangeEvents
delivered toChangeListeners
will be thisJSpinner
. Note also that replacing the model will not affect listeners added directly to JSpinner. Applications can add listeners to the model directly. In that case is that the source of the event would be theSpinnerModel
.- Parameters:
-
listener
- theChangeListener
to add - See Also:
-
removeChangeListener(javax.swing.event.ChangeListener)
,getModel()
removeChangeListener
public void removeChangeListener(ChangeListener listener)
Removes aChangeListener
from this spinner.- Parameters:
-
listener
- theChangeListener
to remove - See Also:
-
fireStateChanged()
,addChangeListener(javax.swing.event.ChangeListener)
getChangeListeners
public ChangeListener[] getChangeListeners()
Returns an array of all theChangeListener
s added to this JSpinner with addChangeListener().- Returns:
-
all of the
ChangeListener
s added or an empty array if no listeners have been added - Since:
- 1.4
fireStateChanged
protected void fireStateChanged()
Sends aChangeEvent
, whose source is thisJSpinner
, to eachChangeListener
. When aChangeListener
has been added to the spinner, this method method is called each time aChangeEvent
is received from the model.
getPreviousValue
public Object getPreviousValue()
Returns the object in the sequence that comes before the object returned bygetValue()
. If the end of the sequence has been reached then returnnull
. Calling this method does not effectvalue
.This method simply delegates to the
model
. It is equivalent to:getModel().getPreviousValue()
- Returns:
-
the previous legal value or
null
if one doesn't exist - See Also:
-
getValue()
,getNextValue()
,SpinnerModel.getPreviousValue()
setEditor
public void setEditor(JComponent editor)
Changes theJComponent
that displays the current value of theSpinnerModel
. It is the responsibility of this method to disconnect the old editor from the model and to connect the new editor. This may mean removing the old editorsChangeListener
from the model or the spinner itself and adding one for the new editor.- Parameters:
-
editor
- the new editor - Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- if editor isnull
- See Also:
-
getEditor()
,createEditor(javax.swing.SpinnerModel)
,getModel()
getEditor
public JComponent getEditor()
Returns the component that displays and potentially changes the model's value.- Returns:
- the component that displays and potentially changes the model's value
- See Also:
-
setEditor(javax.swing.JComponent)
,createEditor(javax.swing.SpinnerModel)
commitEdit
public void commitEdit() throws ParseException
Commits the currently edited value to theSpinnerModel
.If the editor is an instance of
DefaultEditor
, the call if forwarded to the editor, otherwise this does nothing.- Throws:
-
ParseException
- if the currently edited value couldn't be committed.
getAccessibleContext
public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets theAccessibleContext
for theJSpinner
- Specified by:
-
getAccessibleContext
in interfaceAccessible
- Overrides:
-
getAccessibleContext
in classComponent
- Returns:
-
the
AccessibleContext
for theJSpinner
- Since:
- 1.5
