How to set right alignment in JTable cell?

Question

I am creating one application with billing facility, In that I want the amount column only display in the right alignment. Can anyone suggest me? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

See Concepts: Editors and Renderers, noting "Number — rendered by a right-aligned label." Just have your TableModel return the correct class. As a concrete example, note that Integer is a Number, while examining the implementation of getColumnClass() in this example.

Answer 2

You will require to get DefaultTableCellRenderer for table cells and call setHorizontalAlignment(alignment).

Try this:

JTable Tbl=new JTable(3,3){ 
          DefaultTableCellRenderer renderRight=new DefaultTableCellRenderer();

          {//initializer block
              renderRight.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
          }

           @Override
        public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int arg0, int arg1) {
               return renderRight;

        }

      };
