object [][]

[CHIL]

hi
Im quite new to Java and would appreciate some help with this.
I want to populate an array of type Object from an array of strings.
Code
Object object_values=new Object[][];
String [] data;
I want to populate object_values with values from data but I cant seem to get the syntax right.
Does any one have any ideas pls.
thanks

Seems to be easy. What are you doing? Port you code.

Im actually trying to create a jtable.Ive decided to use 2 vectors to create a simple table(I know i should be using a model but I want to start from the basics and work my way up :-) )


So I have an array of strings called observs.
data_values=new Vector();
rows=new Vector();
for (int i=0;i<observs.length;i++){
data_values.add(observs[i]);

}

I then add the data_values vector to the rows vector-
rows.add(data_values).


I create a Vector called col_names with the value of "some column name".


I then create the table
table=new JTable(rows,col_names).


The table is being created but is only displaying one row ie the first value from the observs array.
The table should be displaying at least 10 rows and 1 col.
what am I doing wrong???
Thanks

hi
things have moved on now
I am using vectors to create a table.


table=new Jtable(data,col_names);
This works when I want to display the contents of one vector ie data
But I want to display the contents of another vector as well


so In want it to lok like this


vector_1 vector_2
1 wwf
2132 wwf
233 wwf
2323
23
323

etc etc
How can I create my tables with these vectors.
Thanks

I'm a little confused about when you're using Vector object and when you're using arrays. I'm also confused as to how you expect to fill a two-dimensional array of Object using a one-dimensional array of Strings.

However, you're only getting one row because that's the number of times you call rows.add(..). You need TWO loops:

rows = new Vector();
// for each row...
for (int i = 0; i < theNumberOfRows; i++) {
  aSingleRow = new Vector();
  // for each cell in the row...
  for (int j = 0; i < observs.length; j++) {
    aSingleRow.add(observs[j]);
  }
  rows.add(aSingleRow).
}

Im trying to create a table with 2 colums and several rows.The tables data will come from 2 arrays.
I am having problems creating a object [][] data to create a table using a table model.
Object [][]data=new Object [][]data(that somehow contains the values of the 2 other arrays)
ie jtable table=jtable(data,colnames_array)
How can I feed 2 separate arrays into a multidimensional object array?
thanks

Didn't the example above help? OK. How to copy two one-dimensional arrays into a single two-dimensional array:

public class TwoBecomeOne {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                String[] s1 = {"A1", "A2", "A3"};
                String[] s2 = {"B1", "B2", "B3"};
                Object[][] o = {s1, s2};

                displayArray(o);
        }

        public static void displayArray(Object[][] array) {
                for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
                        for (int j = 0; j < array[i].length; j++) {
                                System.out.print("\t" + array[i][j]);
                        }
                        System.out.println();
                }
        }
}

This works because the 2D Object array may hold two references to two 1D String arrays.
