## 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 Detail

    - #### 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 `IllegalArugmentException` 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 Detail

    - #### getList

          public List<?> getList()

      Returns the `List` that defines the sequence for this model.
      Returns:
        the value of the `list` property
      See Also:
        `setList(java.util.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(java.lang.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(java.lang.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()`
