1. Package uibooster \> Class UiBooster \> showTable​

```auto
String[][] modifiedData = new UiBooster().showTable( // showTableImmutable for immutable tables
        new String[][]{
                {"Jimmy Johnson", "35", "Zombieland"},
                {"Danny Durango", "23", "Hangover"},
                {"Larry Berry", "54", ""}
        },
        Arrays.asList("Name", "Age", "Favorite movie"),
        "Favorite movies");

```

The above source code works fine.

1. Package uibooster.components \> Class TableDialog \> showTable​

`static java.lang.String[][]	showTable​(java.lang.String[][] data, java.util.List<java.lang.String> header, java.lang.String title, java.lang.String iconPath, boolean isEditable)`

```auto
String[][] modifiedData = new UiBooster().showTable( // showTableImmutable for immutable tables
        new String[][]{
                {"Jimmy Johnson", "35", "Zombieland"},
                {"Danny Durango", "23", "Hangover"},
                {"Larry Berry", "54", ""}
        },
        Arrays.asList("Name", "Age", "Favorite movie"),
        "Favorite movies","icon.png",false);

```

The above source code does not work. Why?  
The function is not recognized. Does anyone have any idea how to use it?

Is “icon.png” inside subfolder “data/”?  
If so, maybe **dataPath()** can help:  
`"Favorite movies", dataPath("icon.png"), false);`

`The method showTable(String[][], String[], String) in the type UiBooster is not applicable for the arguments (String[][], String[], String, String, boolean)`

Thank you for answer.

I think I need to change the ‘class’ content as above, but I don’t know how to do it.

I don’t have that UiBooster installed.

But I’ve blindly coded the example below following the signatures from its source code:

```auto
import uibooster.UiBooster;
import uibooster.model.UiBoosterOptions.Theme;

static final String TITLE = "Favorite movies", ICON_FILE = "icon.png";
static final String[] HEADER_TITLES = { "Name", "Age", "Favorite Movie" };

static final String[][] TABLE_DATA = {
  { "Jimmy Johnson", "35", "Zombieland" }, 
  { "Danny Durango", "23", "Hangover" }, 
  { "Larry Berry", "54", "" }
};

UiBooster tableDialog;

void setup() {
  tableDialog = new UiBooster(Theme.DEFAULT, dataPath(ICON_FILE));
  tableDialog.showTable(TABLE_DATA, HEADER_TITLES, TITLE);

  for (final String[] rowData : TABLE_DATA) println(rowData);
  exit();
}

```

**You are a genius and an angel.**

First of all, it was built on the basis of what you told me. The action is fine.

(The person who made the library provided the reference material.)  
(I asked a question, and I answered it.)

**The ‘icon’ setting was successful with the help of ‘GoToLoop’ and ‘Library Maker’.**

However, there is a function that prevents the table data value from being modified, so I think we need to find out how to do it.

Dear GoToLoop,  
Very thank you.
