We have a Virtual Table in our Eclipse RCP application. We make a call to the backend to retrieve the data to be populated in the virtual table.
We want default sorting on the table on a single column. We use ViewerComparator to achieve sorting functionality. My problem is, I am not able to get this sorting working when the table loads with the data for the 1st time. But when I click on the column, everything works fine as expected.
This is how, I set the Comparator to the column
TableViewerColumn tvc = viewer.addColumn(100, SWT.LEFT, "Name");
viewer.setColumnComparator(tvc,
new Comparator<Person>() {
@Override
public int compare(Person o1,Person o2) {
double firstValue = Double.parseDouble(o1
.getAge());
double secondValue = Double.parseDouble(o2
.getAge());
return firstValue > secondValue ? 1 : -1;
}
});
setColumnComparator method in custom viewer
public void setColumnComparator(TableViewerColumn tvc, Comparator<T> cmp){
final MyViewerComparator c = new MyViewerComparator(cmp);
final TableColumn tc = tvc.getColumn();
setComparator(c);
getTable().setSortDirection(c.getDirection());
getTable().setSortColumn(tc);
refresh();
tc.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
@Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
<same code as above>
}
});
MyViewerComparator
class MyViewerComparator extends ViewerComparator{
Comparator<T> cmp;
boolean desc = true;
MyViewerComparator(Comparator<T> cmp){
this.cmp = cmp;
}
int getDirection(){
return desc?SWT.UP:SWT.DOWN;
}
void flipDirection(){
desc = !desc;
}
@Override
public int compare(Viewer viewer, Object e1, Object e2) {
if(e1 == null || e2==null){
return 0;
}
int rc = cmp.compare((T)e1, (T)e2);
if(desc)
return -rc;
return rc;
}
}
When the table loads the data for the 1st time, it goes inside the Bolded condition in the above code as one of the object is ALWAYS NULL
Note: This functionality works totally fine if I use a Standard table rather than VIRTUAL TABLE. I am not sure whether I can change it to use Standard table as we want the lazy load functionality as well..
ContentProvider used is: ObservableListContentProvider
Could you please advise on this issue and provide a solution for the same?
Thanks in Advance
