Hi,
the following is my code for setting a hyperlink to a cell in a table.
------------------ code starts ------------------
private static Table makeTableFromMap(final String firstColumnTitle, final String secondColumnTitle, final java.util.Map m){
Table tab = null;
try{
tab = new Table(2);
}
catch(BadElementException ex){
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
tab.setBorderWidth(1.0f);
tab.setPadding(1);
tab.setSpacing(0);
tab.addCell(new Cell(firstColumnTitle));
tab.addCell(new Cell(secondColumnTitle));
tab.endHeaders();
if (m.keySet().size() == 0){
Cell c = new Cell("none");
c.setColspan(2);
tab.addCell(c);
}
else{
Iterator iter = m.keySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()){
String strName = (String) iter.next();
Object value = m.get(strName);
String strValue = null;
if (value == null){
strValue = "";
}
else if (value instanceof String[]){
String[] aValues = (String[]) value;
strValue = aValues[0];
}
/*else if(value instanceof Chunk){
Chunk chunkValue = (Chunk)value;
strValue = chunkValue.getContent();
}*/
else{
strValue = value.toString();
}
Cell nameCell = new Cell(strName);
Cell valueCell = new Cell(strValue);
if(strValue.length() > 40){
int span = strValue.length() % 40;
nameCell.setRowspan(span);
valueCell.setRowspan(span);
}
tab.addCell(nameCell);
tab.addCell(valueCell);
}
}
return tab;
}
--------------------- code ends -----------------
This first parameter is a name(String) and the second parameter is its value(String). Now, if the value is a URL which is more than 40 characters long, I need to ensure that the rowspan of both values is increased accordingly. However, in doing so, the hyperlink for the value String is also truncated. Hence, if the hyperlink was 48 characters, it is changed to 40 characters and the URL does not open. Something like, http://www.google.com gets changed to
http://www.gooo <---- the wrong hyperlink
gle.com
How do i ensure that even after rowspan, the entire URL is not affected?
TIA
