I try to use Apache POI
to change background colors of cells in a row. I use following code to handle it in xls
file, but there aren't any changes in file after execution.
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(src);
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fis);
r = sheet.getRow(5);
CellStyle style = wb.createCellStyle();
style.setFillForegroundColor(IndexedColors.RED.getIndex());
r.setRowStyle(style);
Style for cells has to be defined like this.
HSSFCellStyle tCs = wb.createCellStyle();
tCs.setFillPattern(FillPatternType.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
tCs.setFillForegroundColor(IndexedColors.YELLOW.getIndex());
It has to be applied each cells, which needed this style.
for (int k = 0; k < sheet.getRow(5).getLastCellNum(); k++) {
sheet.getRow(i).getCell(k).setCellStyle(tCs);
}
