Loading Data in Combo Box from Database

 
Consider the following
Database Name: demodb
Table: Student (id int Primary Key, name varchar(100),percentage float)
 
 
Now let us consider a scenario where we need to load the names of Student in a Combo Box.
 
Basically i will write method by name loadName() which would like this.
public ArrayList<String> loadName()
{
ArrayList<String> list=new ArrayList<String>();
//Create a ArrayList to hold the list of names.
try
{
//Load the names from database table using JDBC.
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/demodb";
String user="root";
String password="your-db-password";
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
String query="Select name from student;";
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(query);
while(rs.next())
{
list.add(rs.getString(1));
}
con.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Return the list .
return list;
}
Now we have to integrate the above discussed method in a Swing form.
 
Now let us assume that combo is the object of JComboBox and this is how we will add the data in it.
 combo=new JComboBox();
      for(String name: loadName())
  {
   combo.addItem(name);
  }
       combo.setBounds(100,100,200,30);
       c.add(combo);

So here is the full code for loading data in JComboBox.

 

LoadDataInCombo .java

iimport javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.awt.*;



public class LoadDataInCombo extends JFrame
{
 JComboBox combo;
 JLabel label;

 LoadDataInCombo()
 {
  super("Load Data In Combo");
   setSize(500,500);
    setResizable(false);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
       setLayout(null);
  Container c=getContentPane();
  c.setBackground(Color.WHITE);

  combo=new JComboBox();
  for(String name: loadName())
  {
   combo.addItem(name);
  }
  combo.setBounds(100,100,200,30);
  c.add(combo);

  setVisible(true);

 }

public ArrayList<String> loadName()
{
ArrayList<String> list=new ArrayList<String>();
//Create a ArrayList to hold the list of names.
try
{
//Load the names from database table using JDBC.
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/demodb";
String user="root";
String password="your-db-password";
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
String query="Select name from student;";
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(query);
while(rs.next())
{
list.add(rs.getString(1));
}
con.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Return the list .
return list;
}

public static void main(String[] args)
 {
 LoadDataInCombo app=new LoadDataInCombo();
 }


}

--------Output would look like------
