# Class SpinnerListModel

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.AbstractSpinnerModel
javax.swing.SpinnerListModel

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable, SpinnerModel`

public class SpinnerListModel extends AbstractSpinnerModel implements Serializable
A simple implementation of `SpinnerModel` whose values are defined by an array or a `List`. For example to create a model defined by an array of the names of the days of the week:

    String[] days = new DateFormatSymbols().getWeekdays();
    SpinnerModel model = new SpinnerListModel(Arrays.asList(days).subList(1, 8));

This class only stores a reference to the array or `List` so if an element of the underlying sequence changes, it's up to the application to notify the `ChangeListeners` by calling `fireStateChanged`.

This model inherits a `ChangeListener`. The `ChangeListener`s are notified whenever the model's `value` or `list` properties changes.

Since:
  1.4

  Constructor
  Description
  `SpinnerListModel()`
  Constructs an effectively empty `SpinnerListModel`.

- ## Method Summary

  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `List<?>`
  `getList()`
  Returns the `List` that defines the sequence for this model.
  `Object`
  `getNextValue()`
  Returns the next legal value of the underlying sequence or `null` if value is already the last element.
  `Object`
  `getPreviousValue()`
  Returns the previous element of the underlying sequence or `null` if value is already the first element.
  `Object`
  `getValue()`
  Returns the current element of the sequence.
  `void`
  `setList(List<?> list)`
  Changes the list that defines this sequence and resets the index of the models `value` to zero.
  `void`
  `setValue(Object elt)`
  Changes the current element of the sequence and notifies `ChangeListeners`.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### SpinnerListModel

    public SpinnerListModel(List<?> values)
    Constructs a `SpinnerModel` whose sequence of values is defined by the specified `List`. The initial value (current element) of the model will be `values.get(0)`. If `values` is `null` or has zero size, an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown.
    Parameters:
      `values` - the sequence this model represents
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `values` is `null` or zero size

  - ### SpinnerListModel

    public SpinnerListModel(Object[] values)
    Constructs a `SpinnerModel` whose sequence of values is defined by the specified array. The initial value of the model will be `values[0]`. If `values` is `null` or has zero length, an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown.
    Parameters:
      `values` - the sequence this model represents
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `values` is `null` or zero length

  - ### SpinnerListModel

    public SpinnerListModel()
    Constructs an effectively empty `SpinnerListModel`. The model's list will contain a single `"empty"` string element.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getList

    public List<?> getList()
    Returns the `List` that defines the sequence for this model.
    Returns:
      the value of the `list` property
    See Also:
      - `setList(List)`

  - ### setList

    public void setList(List<?> list)
    Changes the list that defines this sequence and resets the index of the models `value` to zero. Note that `list` is not copied, the model just stores a reference to it.

    This method fires a `ChangeEvent` if `list` is not equal to the current list.

    Parameters:
      `list` - the sequence that this model represents
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `list` is `null` or zero length
    See Also:
      - `getList()`

  - ### getValue

    public Object getValue()
    Returns the current element of the sequence.
    Specified by:
      `getValue` in interface `SpinnerModel`
    Returns:
      the `value` property
    See Also:
      - `SpinnerModel.getValue()`
      - `setValue(Object)`

  - ### setValue

    public void setValue(Object elt)
    Changes the current element of the sequence and notifies `ChangeListeners`. If the specified value is not equal to an element of the underlying sequence then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown. In the following example the `setValue` call would cause an exception to be thrown:

        String[] values = {"one", "two", "free", "four"};
        SpinnerModel model = new SpinnerListModel(values);
        model.setValue("TWO");

    Specified by:
      `setValue` in interface `SpinnerModel`
    Parameters:
      `elt` - the sequence element that will be model's current value
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified value isn't allowed
    See Also:
      - `SpinnerModel.setValue(Object)`
      - `getValue()`

  - ### getNextValue

    public Object getNextValue()
    Returns the next legal value of the underlying sequence or `null` if value is already the last element.
    Specified by:
      `getNextValue` in interface `SpinnerModel`
    Returns:
      the next legal value of the underlying sequence or `null` if value is already the last element
    See Also:
      - `SpinnerModel.getNextValue()`
      - `getPreviousValue()`

  - ### getPreviousValue

    public Object getPreviousValue()
    Returns the previous element of the underlying sequence or `null` if value is already the first element.
    Specified by:
      `getPreviousValue` in interface `SpinnerModel`
    Returns:
      the previous element of the underlying sequence or `null` if value is already the first element
    See Also:
      - `SpinnerModel.getPreviousValue()`
      - `getNextValue()`
