Hi all.

Problem: I have a method that creates a list from the parsed ArrayList. I manage to show the list in the GUI, without scrollbar. However, I am having problem setting it to show only the size of ArrayList. Meaning, say if the size is 6, there should only be 6 rows in the shown List. Below is the code that I am using. I tried setting the visibleRowCount as below but it does not work. I tried printing out the result and it shows that the change is made.

private void createSuggestionList(ArrayList<String> str) {
    int visibleRowCount = str.size();
    System.out.println("visibleRowCount " + visibleRowCount);
    listForSuggestion = new JList(str.toArray());
    listForSuggestion.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
    listForSuggestion.setSelectedIndex(0);
    listForSuggestion.setVisibleRowCount(visibleRowCount);
    System.out.println(listForSuggestion.getVisibleRowCount());
    listScrollPane = new JScrollPane(listForSuggestion);
    MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseAdapter() {

        @Override
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
            JList theList = (JList) mouseEvent.getSource();
            if (mouseEvent.getClickCount() == 2) {
                int index = theList.locationToIndex(mouseEvent.getPoint());
                if (index >= 0) {
                    Object o = theList.getModel().getElementAt(index);
                    System.out.println("Double-clicked on: " + o.toString());
                }
            }
        }
    };
    listForSuggestion.addMouseListener(mouseListener);
    textPane.add(listScrollPane);
    repaint();
}

To summarize: I want the JList to show as many rows as the size of the parsed ArrayList, without a scrollbar.

Any ideas? Please help. Thanks. Please let me know if a picture of the problem is needed in case I did not phrase my question correctly.
