How to set color on blank cell












1















I need to set color for the one whole row but the problem is some of my cells are blank cell, not containing any data,



        XSSFRow row2 = sheet.getRow(1);

CellStyle style = wb.createCellStyle();
style.setFillForegroundColor(IndexedColors.GREEN.getIndex());
style.setFillPattern(CellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);

for (int i = 0; i < row1.getLastCellNum() + 1; i++) {// For each cell in the row
row2.getCell(i).setCellStyle(style);// Set the style
}


I got error like this:



java.lang.NullPointerException


I believe this error come from the blank cell because when I try to set color on cell that contain data for example:



row2.getCell(4).setCellStyle(style);


the particular cell is in color accordingly.



Can we actually put color on a blank cell?

          You should try below approach.
          Here i have given you logic as i don't have exactly the dependency please follow below approach First check if row2.getCell is not null then set otherwise create cell and then set.



           XSSFRow row2 = sheet.getRow(1);

          CellStyle style = wb.createCellStyle();
          style.setFillForegroundColor(IndexedColors.GREEN.getIndex());
          style.setFillPattern(CellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);

          for (int i = 0; i < row2.getLastCellNum(); i++) {// For each cell in the row
          if( row2.getCell(i)!=null){
          row2.getCell(i).setCellStyle(style);// Set the style
          }else{
          Cell cell=row2.createCell(i);
          cell.setCellStyle(style);
          }
          }
