Exception when add data into TableViewer


I have 2 TableViewer controls in a composite (Supposed they are : viewer1, viewer2). When initialize application, one "viewer1" is filled data from server while "viewer2" is set null.

viewer1.setInput(getData());
viewer2.setInput(null);

Now I want to change some object from viewer1 to viewer2 via a context menu, the first time add is successful, but the next time when I fill object to viewer2, I always get this exception: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

This didn't happen if viewer2 contain some objects in advance, it only happens when viewer2 is empty. This is the way I add move some data from viewer1 to viewer2 :

//get selected objects in Viewer1
IStructuredSelection selection= (IStructuredSelection) viewer1.getSelection();
if(selection!=null){
            selectedList=(List<MyObject>)selection.toList();
            for(MyObject obj: selectedList){
                //do something here
            }
            //remove all
            ((List<MyObject>)viewer1().getInput()).removeAll(selectedList);
            viewer1.refresh();
        }
//viewer1 get above List
if((List<MyObject>)viewer2.getInput()==null)
 viewer2.setInput(selectedList);
else {
 ((List<MyObject>)viewer2.getInput()).addAll(selectedList);  //(Line Error)
}
viewer2.refresh;

It works well at the first time in the IF condition, but the next time when viewer2 contained some data, I always get exception at above error line. @Krumelur , I added stacktrace that I got:

Please help me out. Thanks so much for any answer!


Solution

  • Not all implementations of java.util.List interface support addAll() method. For example, the one that is returned by Arrays.asList() does not and this is the method used by StructuredSelection.toList().
