Update Table With Jtextfield Filtering

How to update my table with Jtextfield filtering?

I have a Jtable that show the all customers list that there are in database.  On this table there is textfield for filtering. When a user type a character in the textfield, table must be update and show all customers that their names started by that character same time. For example when I type 's' in textfield, table would synchronize show all customer list that start with s like 'sara' without pressing any key . I write this code , but it don't work and has DBexeption.  I want use of typedkey event.

// below code is in myFrame.java
private void jTextField1KeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
String st=evt.getKeyText(2);
newCall(st);

}

// Variables declaration - do not modify
private javax.swing.JTable customerTable;
private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
private javax.swing.JScrollPane jScrollPane1;
private javax.swing.JTextField jTextField1;
// End of variables declaration

private void newCall(String st){
newFill();
try {
List<Customer> customerList = CustomerDAO.getInstance().listCustomersWithName(st );
Vector customerData = new Vector();

for (Customer c : customerList) {
Vector v = c.getCustomerData();
customerData.add(v);
}

Vector column = new Vector();

column.add("pass");
column.add("phone");
column.add("assress");
column.add("name");
column.add("id");

DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(customerData, column);

customerTable.setModel(model);

} catch (DBException ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "database exception .");
}

}

//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
private void newFill(){
Vector customerData = new Vector();
customerData=null;
Vector column = new Vector();
column=null;
DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(customerData, column);
customerTable.setModel(model);
}

//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
private void fillCustomerList() {
try {
List<Customer> customerList = CustomerDAO.getInstance().listCustomers();

Vector customerData = new Vector();

for (Customer c : customerList) {
Vector v = c.getCustomerData();
customerData.add(v);
}

Vector column = new Vector();
column.add("pass");
column.add("phone");
column.add("assress");
column.add("name");
column.add("id");

DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(customerData, column);

customerTable.setModel(model);

} catch (DBException ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "database exception .");
}
}

Solution:

Simple thing. 
Use the TableRowSorter!

Code:

final TableRowSorter<TableModel> sorter = new TableRowSorter<TableModel>(model); 

And add a DocumentListener to your textfield - in insertUpdate and removeUpdate you call sorter.setRowFilter(RowFilter.regexFilter(yourtext field.getText(),indeces)); 

The insertUpdate method belongs to the listener so you have to add a documentlistener to your textfield !

Here is a simple example:

Code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.RowFilter;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentEvent;
import javax.swing.event.DocumentListener;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
import javax.swing.table.TableModel;
import javax.swing.table.TableRowSorter;

public class FilterSnippet {

 private final TableRowSorter<TableModel> sorter;
 private JTextField field;

 public FilterSnippet(){
  JFrame frame = new JFrame();
  JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
  field = new JTextField(10);
  field.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {  // <---
   @Override
   public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
    filter();
   }

   @Override
   public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
    filter();
   }

   @Override
   public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {}
  });
  DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(new String[][]{{"Sarah","foo"}, {"Abc","bar"}, {"def","foobar"}}, new String[]{"Name","Nickname"});
  JTable table = new JTable(model);
  sorter = new TableRowSorter<TableModel>(model);  // <-- 
  table.setRowSorter(sorter);  // <-- 
  panel.add(field, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
  panel.add(new JScrollPane(table),BorderLayout.CENTER);
  frame.add(panel);
  frame.pack();
  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
  frame.setVisible(true);
 }

 protected void filter() {
  sorter.setRowFilter(RowFilter.regexFilter("^(?i)"+field.getText(),0));  // <--
 }

 public static void main(String[] args) {
  SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
   public void run() {
    new FilterSnippet();
   }
  });
 }

 

Note:
The important rows are marked. These rows(similar) you have to put into your code.
