Colored Header cells with java Apache POI












1















I want to have my header row in different colors. Until now I just have different colors for the Font, because the background color does not work like I wish.
My output File should be in the xls-format.



   import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFCellStyle;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
...


String mylmcol = {"EmplNo", "LMSurname", "LMFirstname"};
String myusercol = {"UserID", "USRSurname", "USRFirstname"};
String rolecol = {"Group", "Role"};
String ackcol = {"ACKValue"};

XSSFWorkbook workbook_cbk_output = new XSSFWorkbook();
Sheet sheet_cbk_output = workbook_cbk_output.createSheet("UserList");

Font LMheaderFont = workbook_cbk_output.createFont();
LMheaderFont.setFontHeightInPoints((short) 12);
LMheaderFont.setColor(IndexedColors.SEA_GREEN.getIndex());

...

XSSFCellStyle headerCellStyleACK = workbook_cbk_output.createCellStyle();
headerCellStyleACK.setFont(ACKheaderFont);
//DOES NOT WORK:
headerCellStyleACK.setFillBackgroundColor(HSSFColor.AQUA.index);
headerCellStyle.setFillPattern(FillPatternType.SOLID_FOREGROUND);

Row headerRow_cbk = sheet_cbk_output.createRow(0);

for (int i = 0; i < mylmcol.length; i++) {
Cell cell = headerRow_cbk.createCell(i);
cell.setCellValue(mylmcol[i]);
cell.setCellStyle(headerCellStyleLM);
}
...
FileOutputStream OUTFILE = new FileOutputStream("Myoutput.xls");
workbook_cbk_output.write(OUTFILE);
OUTFILE.close();


I tried the commands setFillBackgroundColorbut this is igno. Is there another solution for coloring the background?

You may use the XSSFColor instead of HSSFColor, if you use XSSF worksheet/CellStyle.
For me it works with:



XSSFCellStyle headingStyle = workbook.createCellStyle();
headingStyle.setFillForegroundColor( new XSSFColor( new java.awt.Color( 207, 207, 207 ) ) );
headingStyle.setFillPattern( CellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND );


and apply it to the cells/rows:



Row rowHeadingStyle = styleSheet.createRow( 0 );
rowHeadingStyle.setRowStyle( headingStyle );


This is setting the background color to the desired value!
