java.lang.Object cannot be converted to int

Question

I have a problem with downloading the number from JTable. In Eclipse I have jre JavaSE 1.7 and it is all ok. I opened my project in IntelliJ IDEA and chose SDK java jdk 1.8.

private int;
public void tableEdit(final JTable table) {

        table.getModel().addTableModelListener(new TableModelListener() {
            @Override
            public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (table.getCellEditor() != null) {

                    int col = table.getSelectedColumn();
                    id =  (int)table.getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(), 0); //ERROR

Error:

java: incompatible types: java.lang.Object cannot be converted to int

Edit:

New problem: The JTable I have 2 fields, ID and field2 (combobox) after selecting the value from the combobox wants to retrieve a value from the ID field so that they know which row I need to update.

categoryBox.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
            public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event) {
                if (newrow_flag == 0) {
                    JComboBox comboBox = (JComboBox) event.getSource();
                    Object item = event.getItem();
                    if (event.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED
                            && box_flag_category > 0) {

                        Category selected_category = (Category) categoryBox
                                .getSelectedItem();

                        int rowid = Integer.getInteger(itemTable.getValueAt(
                                itemTable.getSelectedRow(), 0).toString()); //Error

                        id_category = selected_category.getId();


                        fireItemEvent(new ItemsEvent(rowid, "produkty", null,
                                null, null, id_category, id_company, "update"),
                                "box_category");

                    }
                    box_flag_category++;
                }
            }
        });

And error:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.magazyn.view.View$9.itemStateChanged(View.java:659)
    at javax.swing.JComboBox.fireItemStateChanged(JComboBox.java:1223)

    at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Component.java:6527)
    at javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseEvent(JComponent.java:3321)
    [...]

Error points to this line:

int rowid = Integer.getInteger(itemTable.getValueAt(
                                itemTable.getSelectedRow(), 0).toString());

for better help sooner post an SSCCE/MCVE short runnable, compilable with hardcoded value for JTable/JComboBox in local variable — mKorbel

Well look at the error:

java: incompatible types: java.lang.Object cannot be converted to int

And then look at the line that throws the error:

id =  (int)table.getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(), 0);

Now as you can see, you're attempting to cast an Object to an int. This is not allowed. So you need to be a little more creative:

int id = Integer.parseInt(table.getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(), 0).toString());

I think OP wants to know why his code does compile under 1.7 compiler and not under 1.8 compiler. Good answer though, I personally wonder how the original code does compile with 1.7.

mKorbel Over a year ago

really not the solution, solving just the actual OPs issue, proper solution is to store integer value in model and/or to override getColumnClass, more in Oracle tutorial - How to use Tables, for working code example(s)

Correct, but I'm not here to do OP's work. I'm here to solve the issue that OP has presented. OP will develop a much deeper understanding if they come to them on their own.

@Logar This is a compiler bug fixed in 1.8. bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8046017

I have a problem with downloading the number from JTable.

put integer value directly to JTable/XxxTableModel, to avoid any parsing at runtime
JTable is designated to store various data types in its XxxTableModel
(for DefaultTableModel isn't required) then to override getColumnClass

don't put JComboBox to JTable, read Oracle tutorial How to use Tables - Using a Combo Box as an Editor for working code example (String instance), model should be store only initial or last selected value from JComboBox as Editor
put numbers to JComboBox/DefaultComboBoxModel directly, then returns is number
TableModelListener firing an event after CellEditor() == null, then code doesn't make me sence

this is should be the answer, as he put ComboBox inside the cell.

See class Jtable

public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
        return getModel().getValueAt(convertRowIndexToModel(row),
                                     convertColumnIndexToModel(column));
    }

Method has return type as Object.

use Integer.parseInt();
