How to determine empty row?

Question

How I can determine empty rows in .xls documents using Apache POI?

Answer 1

Assuming you want to check if row n is empty, remembering that rows in Apache POI are zero based not one based, you'd want something like:

 Row r = sheet.getRow(n-1); // 2nd row = row 1
 boolean hasData = true;

 if (r == null) {
    // Row has never been used
    hasData = false;
 } else {
    // Check to see if all cells in the row are blank (empty)
    hasData = false;
    for (Cell c : r) {
       if (c.getCellType() != Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK) {
         hasData = true;
         break;
       }
    }
 }
