I have a rows of data, where I can make actions on a remote server.
I'm displaying these data in a JTable as it avoids the cost of creating a component for each row, and there's a lot.
I have managed to show the component and be able to interact with the cell, (however I still a first click).
But what I'm struggling with is that I want my editor component to be expandable, and of course update the current row height. And of course to revert to regular row height when collapsed. I think I need to register some listeners to the cell editor, but I'm currently not able to correctly do that.
ComponentListner::componentResizedmake the whole table being constantly repainted.editorComponent.addPropertyChangeListener("preferredSize", propertyChangeListener), doesn't always repaint the tableeditorComponent.addPropertyChangeListener("preferredSize", propertyChangeListener), doesn't always repaint the table
Hence this question.
Somewhat out of scope, I'm currently debating if the component should stay expanded when going to another cell (but this can be an expanded property that is part of the model).
Here's a minimal example without my attempts to register listeners on the editor component (in getTableCellEditorComponent).
Thanks in advance for ay pointers.

CodePudding user response：
@kleopatra Thank you! Your tip got me on the right track. I made the following code to precompute the row height during the layout operation.
And when a cell gets edited, the editor is added to the table, when then do a revalidation, and computes the height accordingly.
I had a problem before because setting the height in the renderer actually prevented the correct display of the cell component.
In the following code, notice how doLayout is adjusting the row height, according to cell component preferred size (wether the cell is rendered or edited).
Note I choose to collapse the component once editing is stopped, hence the listener in the DynamicExpndablePanelCellEditor.
