Adding jRadioButton into jTable
- If you want to edit the value of a table cell, you must set a
TableCellEditor
. - You should create a single
JRadioButton
in your renderer and reuse it everywhere, that is the purpose of TableCellRenderer. - If you are not calling
super.getTableCellRendererComponent
, it is not need to extendDefaultTableCellRenderer
, simply implementTableCellRenderer
.
Consider reading the JTable tutorial to understand better the concepts of renderers and editors.
EDIT:
Here is an example on how you can make this work. Of course, you'll have to adapt to your model but you should get the gist:

- It is not recommended to return a new component in the
getTableCellRendererComponent
method. Instead, always return the same component, but modify it according to the value. This is possible since the returned component is merely used as a 'stamp' and not added directly to the Swing hierarchy. See the Renderers and Editors section in the tutorial - What I described in the first point explains why you cannot click on the button. It is merely an image of the button that is present in the table, not a real button
Also, consider using a JCheckbox
instead of a radiobutton. In that case you can simply stick to the default renderer / editor when your TableModel
contains boolean
values
