public interface ITableContentProvider
extends IContentProvider

Table content provider allows access to a structured content in a tabular format. The access is based on cursor model, i.e. the provider allows the client to position itself on a particular row index and provide access to the row data properties via the provider properties. The provider reports total number of rows, current index and whether the currently positioned row is available.

This interface is compatible with DataModel abstract class and behaves very similarly.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Object	getCurrentRow() Returns wrapped current row object.
int	getRowCount() Return the number of rows of data objects represented by this DataModel.
int	getRowIndex() Return the zero-relative index of the currently selected row.
String	getRowVariable() Returns row variable name.
boolean	isRowAvailable() Return a flag indicating whether there is rowData available at the current rowIndex.
void	setRowIndex(int rowIndex) Set the zero-relative index of the currently selected row, or -1 to indicate that we are not positioned on a row.
void	setRowVariable(String var) Sets row variable name to use for accessing row specific data.

Method Detail

isRowAvailable

boolean isRowAvailable()

Return a flag indicating whether there is rowData available at the current rowIndex. If no wrappedData is available, return false.

See Also:

DataModel.isRowAvailable()

getRowCount

int getRowCount()

Return the number of rows of data objects represented by this DataModel.

Return -1, if the number of rows is unknown, or no wrappedData is available.

See Also:

DataModel.getRowCount()

getRowIndex

int getRowIndex()

Return the zero-relative index of the currently selected row.

If we are not currently positioned on a row, or no wrappedData is available, return -1.

See Also:

DataModel.getRowIndex()

setRowIndex

void setRowIndex(int rowIndex)

Set the zero-relative index of the currently selected row, or -1 to indicate that we are not positioned on a row.

See Also:

DataModel.getRowIndex()

getRowVariable

String getRowVariable()

Returns row variable name.

If specified row variable can be used to access current row data for the provider internal needs, like sorting or addressing.

Returns:

row variable name or null if not specified

See Also:

setRowVariable(String)

setRowVariable

void setRowVariable(String var)

Sets row variable name to use for accessing row specific data. For example, if the provider wrapps an array of a data objects with id property and the variable name is item, then the provider implementation can access id property of each record as item.id.

This property should set only once at the provider initialization time

getCurrentRow

Object getCurrentRow()

Returns wrapped current row object. Can be null if not data is available

Returns:

current row object

isRowAvailable()
