Write an excel file using java code

Hello Buddies.

Trying to write an excel file using java code this time.

Full code is available here -

https://github.com/namitsharma99/fileHandlingUsingJava/tree/master/src/com/java/code


Here it goes -



package com.java.code;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRow;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;

public class WriteExcelFile {

public static void main(String[] args) {

List<String> employees = new ArrayList<String>();
employees.add("1,Namit,Engineer");
employees.add("2,Sharma,Developer");

try {
writeExcel(employees);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
/*
* Output will be -
*
* 1 Namit Engineer
* 2 Sharma Developer
*
* */

}

private static void writeExcel(List<String> employees) throws IOException {

/*
* the thumb-rule for any excel operation is work-book > work-sheet >
* row > cell
*/

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(
"/home/namit/Downloads/writtenExcel.xls");

HSSFWorkbook hssfWorkbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet hssfSheet = hssfWorkbook.createSheet();

for (int i = 0; i < employees.size(); i++) {
String row1 = employees.get(i);
String[] row1Cells = row1.split(",");

HSSFRow hssfRow = hssfSheet.createRow(i);

for (int j = 0; j < row1Cells.length; j++) {
HSSFCell hssfCell = hssfRow.createCell(j);
hssfCell.setCellValue(row1Cells[j]);
}

}

hssfWorkbook.write(fileOutputStream);
fileOutputStream.close();
hssfWorkbook.close();

}

}






Refer to the comments in the code for some tid-bits, and drop a note for any suggestion or query.

Happy Coding !!
