Autoupdating rows in TableView from model

Question

I\'ve been looking information about refreshing data into a tableview. I was trying modifying directly the model, but I get a bug. I modify the model, but the table doesn\'t

Answer 1

There is a bug in TableView update (https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-22463). I had similar problem and after some search this is my workaround. I found that if the columns are removed and then re-added the table is updated.

public static  void refreshTableView(TableView tableView, List> columns, List rows) {        
    tableView.getColumns().clear();
    tableView.getColumns().addAll(columns);

    ObservableList list = FXCollections.observableArrayList(rows);
    tableView.setItems(list);
}

Example of usage:

refreshTableView(myTableView, Arrays.asList(col1, col2, col3), rows);
