I have an app that reads from an excel. The problem is that I only can read xlsx files. I cant read xls files. This is my code:
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/"+nomeExcel));
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(file);
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
int rowCtr = 34;
Row myRow = sheet.getRow(rowCtr++);
while (myRow != null) {
Cell nif = myRow.getCell(0);
Cell marcaexploracao = myRow.getCell(1);
Cell numerochip = myRow.getCell(2);
Cell marcaauricular = myRow.getCell(3);
Cell datanascimento = myRow.getCell(4);
bd.addAnimais(numerochip.toString().replace("\u00a0",""),marcaexploracao.toString().trim(),marcaauricular.toString(),datanascimento.toString(),nif.toString(),0,"","","","",0);
myRow = sheet.getRow(rowCtr++);
}
}catch (Exception e){e.printStackTrace(); }
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Excel importado",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
You can create Workbook with WorkbookFactory.create method like that:
InputStream inp = new FileInputStream(new FileInputStream("/path/to/file.xls"));
Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(inp);
Sheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
For reading xlsx file
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(inputStream);
For reading xls file (< 2007)
Workbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(inputStream);
No other changes required.
