Line wraped JTextArea Java

Question

I have a JTextArea with a fixed size and the JTextArea is allowed to wrap the lines and words.

I'm trying to get the last word before the JTextArea break the line.

Is there a way to get it?

I already try to use lineCount(), getStartOffset(), getEndOffset() and getRows(). I know how long my text is, how many characters it has. lineCount always return 1.

I was thinking about a change to get the possible character length for the JTextArea, or to find the break informations in the string, but there are no methods for it.

Did anyone has a Idea to get it?

Here is some untested code to give you an idea.

Since you know the size of the text area you can use the model/view methods of the text area to get the text.

int width = textArea.getSize().width;
int height = textArea.modelToView(0).height / 2;
int offset = textArea.viewToModel( new Point(width, height) );
int start = Utilities.getPreviousWord( offset );  // or maybe getWordStart(...)?
int end = Utilitities.getWordEnd( start );
String text = textArea.getText(start, end - start);
